GERMAN SPITZ - KLEIN

Full credit must go to the Committee for a well organised and smoothly run event incorporating both the Championship shows for this year and the one unfortunately cancelled from last year.  From a personal point of view it was third time lucky for my appointment as the original fell foul of the  Covid pandemic and then a re-scheduled appointment for last years show postponed due to the weather. VD (1) 1 Jackson & Minshall Ch Perrymere Just Bertie.  8 year old masculine dog presenting a firm and compact outline.
