BULLBREEDS ALL BREED
CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
| |
It was my
Privilege to Judge the Stakes Classes and Junior
Handling Classes at Bullbreeds All Breed
Championship Show. I was truly delighted with my
winners in all classes, and dog showing is in safe
hands with these young handlers. As the classes
progressed I was splitting hairs in most of them.
My Puppy Stakes Winner took my breath away and I
look forward to seeing her in Pup of The Year next
April. My sincerest thanks must go to Colette
Muldoon and her hard-working Committee, also to my
very capable stewards Billy Blount and Johnny
Muldoon. They certainly kept the ring running
smoothly. |

I would
like to
extend
my
sincerest
gratitude
to Anna
Rogowska,
for
allowing
me the
honour
to judge
at the
two day
International
Show in
Rzeszów,
Poland.
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
my Group
5 breeds
on
Saturday
(sunny,
warm and
windy),
and my
Group 9
breeds
on
Sunday
(very
cold,
wet
and
windy).
My Group
Winners
were the
Shih Tzu
Group 1,
Lhasa
Apso
Group 2,
Havanese
Group 3,
and
Tibetan
Terrier
Group 4.
Unfortunately
I don’t
have any
photos
of my
Group 5,
and only
a couple
for
Group 9,
but I
had very
many
beautiful
dogs,
and I
thank
the
exhibitors
not only
for
bringing
their
dogs for
my
appraisal,
but also
the way
in which
they
accepted
my
decisions.
I feel
very
privileged
to have
met my
fellow
judges
who were
friendly
and
welcoming,
but
special
thanks
to
Martin
Johansson
(BIS
Judge),
Dragan
Babic,
Wieslawa
Misterka,
and Dr
Anna
Albrigo;
all of
whom
took
great
care of
my
comfort
and
wellbeing.
They
were
also
great
craic
and kept
me
entertained
too. I
enjoyed
my trip
very
very
much.
Lest I
forget,
I was
delighted
to judge
my
beloved
breed,
the
Tibetan
Terrier,
and was
excited
with my
BOB and
Group 4
male,
only a
youngster,
but was
shown
and
presented
to
perfection.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to Myles and all the hardworking committee of Mid West Canine Club Championship Show, for affording me the opportunity to judge Group 2 breeds. Their hospitality was warm and welcoming. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day, with many very beautiful exhibits, and would also like to thank the exhibitors for placing their trust in me. It was a nice prod to get me back to showing after my hibernation during the Covid Pandemic! My Best of Breed Bullmastiff |

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT
Any dog owners - there’s a bad
virus going round at the moment, reading about it non stop.
Vets are putting out advice as it’s spreading really fast
and they’re seeing an advanced amount of admissions.
Try stay away from parks, don’t
let your dog drink outside water, puddles etc and not to
sniff
.
And clean your dogs paws after every walk in case they’ve
walked in the virus then catch it when cleaning themselves
This is from a vet
Vets are reporting higher than
usual occurrences of gastroenteritis in dogs which is
fitting with a wider phenomenon as reported by The Small
Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network (SAVSNET). So far we
have found that the cases seen- whilst clearly being poorly-
have responded well to treatment.
The British Veterinary Association
(BVA) advise that with prompt veterinary treatment almost
all dogs make a full recovery from this uncommonly violent
gastric bug.
How Is This Vomiting Bug
Different?
According to Vet Dr Danielle
Greenberg of SAVSNET, this vomiting bug is unusual due to:
Prolific vomiting of 5 or more
episodes in a 12 hour period which can stop for a period
(such as overnight) and then starts again
Dogs are often unable to keep
water down at peak vomiting stage
Anorexia and lethargy for 2-5 days
Diarrhoea: Most dogs have
‘gravy-like’ diarrhoea
Full recovery can take 5-10 days
What We Know So Far:
This outbreak is affecting areas
across the Midlands, Wales, the North of England and
Northern Ireland
The illness is most likely a virus
but has not yet been identified.
Seems to be dog-specific,
thankfully humans don’t appear to be at risk.
This is not caused by Parvo or
Salmonella
