Many thanks to the committee for the kind invitation to Judge my much loved breed.Thank you also to my pleasant & efficient stewards.

I was pleased with my entry & able to find some really lovely class winners.

The experienced breed specialists are still producing & showing top quality dogs. It should be noted that Chin are cobby & square with depth of brisket & well rounded ribs , with heart room. I found quite a few lacking, shallow with weakness over the coupling & very thin . Heads should be moderately large in proportion with round dark eyes showing white in the corners.The day if not sunny was bright so many were squinting which I did forgive .Chin are happy airy fairy dainty dogs some displayed a nervousness beyond blaming lockdown .

On a positive note they were all clean & obliviously well cared for , & I did not feel any individual chin was lacking enough to withhold any awards. The atmosphere & camaraderie around the ring was lovely .

PD 1st Evans Evansly Enoki Very raw ,deep R/W puppy. He has lovely dark eyes & moderately large head nicely framed .A little strong in under jaw so turned up .Reasonably well put together. His very patient owner managed to coax him to move enough to assess , he needs to body & gain more confidence to progress . BPD

1st Rooney & Greens Jaschin Paws for Applause.Typical b/w with pleasing head & expression. Has all the components , nicely put together , moves steadily ,super temperament, shows very well .Slow maturing type who needs to body up & fill her frame then she could emulate her Champion dam.

2nd Cushings Aki Kaori Of Spiritisle Another sable from this kennel .

Once again nice honest & typical bitch who overall look is very Japanese.Shown in very good coat & condition. Like her litter sister from the previous class she also moves a little close behind something to work on in the breeding programme .

1st Rooney & Greens Jaschin First Edition Litter sister to the Junior bitch & similar remarks apply.Good front , well laid shoulder level top line good tail set.She also is a slower maturing type that needs more body on her slender elegant frame .Pleasing cushioned head ,expressive eyes , ear leathers well placed just waiting on the length.Presented very well ,at this stage her real strength is her impressive sound movement , correct lift & drive that catches the eye.Think both sister may well be contenders in the future.
