MR DAVID MILTON Best in Show judge
Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to Judge Best In Show at the Club's Championship Show.
Given the uncertainties of the current times, congratulations must be directed at the club for running a very successful show which was very
much appreciated by everyone on the day. Thanks to the four breed judges for putting through lovely dogs for my consideration. Best In Show went to Manns' Parisland Pans Little Man at Manchino, not quite 3 years old, Red/White Tri smooth coat male with such attitude.
Lovely head with fabulous eyes and a typical Chihuahua expression. He's right in every way. Moved around the ring with drive, showing
himself off to perfection. There was no denying him top honours. RBIS - Heap & Palmer's Ch/Jpn Ch Peregrine JP Chance Is Coming (Imp Jpn) Pale red 3.5 year old long coat male with good breed type and correct
coat, beautifully presented. He moved well and has all the right attributes, but just lacked a little animation by the end of the day. Best Puppy in Show - Hornby's Bramerita Posh Totty. Red smooth coat bitch of such super breed type. Eyes, ears, dentition and
expression all together making a fabulous head. Topline, tailset, everything where it should be. Moves and shows herself off to
perfection. Absolute pleasure to judge this exhibit as this, for me, is what a Chihuahua is all about. She is a star already. RBPIS - Holland-Smith's Kirdanchi Sugarplum Fairy. Fawn long coat bitch. Very nice typey puppy with pleasing head and correct coat
coming along nicely. Moved well and with confidence. Maturity should bring this one success. BVIS - Stangoe's Stanghurst Antonio. 7 year old pale red smooth coat dog who so enjoyed his day out. Moved steadily around the ring
showing off with a veteran's experience. Strong head with good eyes and nice expression. Well bodied, good size and in great condition.

I enjoyed my day judging and was reassured with the depth of quality. Exhibits on the whole were of good type and construction, with the majority sound moving, with fronts especially strong. Heads in general were strong and refined with less prevalence of heavy muzzles than I've previously found.

Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge smoothcoat chihuahua dogs at this prestigious breed club championship show. Judging was
split this year with fellow judge Ms Christine Veazey, with BOB, BP and BV in breed to be decided jointly, luckily we were both in agreement with all
of these. Thanks also to my two hard working stewards Pauline and Louise. Delighted our choices went on to win BIS, BPIS and BVIS.

dog, but he is a baby and his time will come. I will watch his progress with interest, one to watch. 2. ROONEY AND GREEN - ANADEIA TOKALA WITH JASCHIN
