Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club Summer Open Show 2015
11th July 2015
Judge: Mr Rodney Oldham (Towmena)
JH, Specials & Brace Judge: Miss Rebecca Thompson
My thanks to the Papillon Club for their kind invitation to officiate at their show. Everything seemed to be in good order and the weather was just right to enable judging outdoors on well mown grass, aided by a most efficient young lady as my steward. I appreciated the excellent entry which allowed me to get hands on a significant number of Papillons, something not so easy these days with dropping entries around the Open Shows.
