07 March 2025 Papillon Breed Notes

Good luck to everyone at Crufts, have a wonderful day and most of all have fun. For those of you that are there as a spectator or as a first time Crufts exhibitor enjoy every moment of your Crufts experience.

I thought when you get a rare moment to relax after Crufts it may be a good time to sit down with your diary and pen in hand to list the Papillon judges for the remainder of the year’s show scene. If I should have missed a show it may be that there is no known judge yet announced or it hasn’t come to my notice. Please let me know and I will make sure it goes in the notes another week.

So here goes, everyone got pen at ready?
