Well Crufts has been and gone for another year. Wasn’t it delightful it was to see the little Westie go BIS with the Whippet RBIS. How very humble and down to earth both exhibitors were, they truly deserved the honour of the accolade. The BIS judge Mr Derek Smith was immaculate in his grey suit…

The South of England Papillon Club held their Open Show at Chievely Recreation Centre, Nr Newbury. This venue has easy access to the motorway, ample parking facilities and a spotlessly clean hall. Apparently it poured in bucket loads all day but I am sure this didn’t dampen the exhibitors’ spirits. By all accounts from news…
