Firstly, I would like to thank and congratulate the club secretary and her committee for their obvious hard work in the planning and running of this truly wonderful event. Everything was organized to perfection and, after the past 18 months with everything we have endured, it was wonderful to meet old friends again and celebrate the breed that we all love so much. Thank you to the exhibitors for my wonderful entry and for accepting my placings with good grace. Also, many thanks must go to my very able stewards who kept me on the right track. Personally, it was a wonderful weekend which I shall never forget.

 

As I have been in the breed for approx 50 years, obviously things have changed during this time, which is to be expected, but, of late, I have been concerned at the number of Chins who are short in the leg, long in the body and have little spring of rib to give the cobby body required in the standard. However, on the day, I was pleased to find very few of this type or conformation. However, I was disappointed to see some dogs who had obviously not been bathed or groomed prior to the show. Admittedly, this was only in a small number of cases, but to show a dog with stained coat and trousers does nothing to enhance their overall appearance and seriously reduces their chance of being placed.
