Papillon Club Of Scotland Championship Show June 2024

15th June 2024

Judge: Liz Stannard

Sorry for the delay in sending this critique, I had got halfway through and then the organization of Leeds champ show took over and it slipped to the bottom of the pile. It was a lovely show in an area of its own on the Border Union ground. A show with fond memories as I awarded my first set of CCs there in 1977.
My thanks to the committee for the lovely hamper of all things Scottish, am still treating myself to them.
The weather was pleasant and the ringside were encouraging in all classes. I was very pleased to have such a lovely entry and many very good representatives of the breed. It is 5 years since I last judged the breed and I did notice that some could not now be described as dainty, a little too much body and bone for that, something to watch for. Temperaments were super all through.
