Boston & District Canine Society

I would like to thank all competitors who gave me the privilege of judging their dogs. An Entry of 32. Mini Longs were, on the whole, presented well. I did feel that some, could have had the dogs teeth cleaned better as it is part of the presentation and health. There is still a problem with round eyes, hopefully this will be addressed with correct breeding. The condition of coats was Excellent some a little over coated, but no bad mouths. Temperament on the whole was pleasing. Overall an enjoyable day.
