LEEDS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW (24/07/2026

Special thanks to my two lovely stewards, Pauline and Lynette. Temperaments were excellent, especially considering the tremendous winds and the creaking of the marquees! The ring was rather uneven for small dogs. The exhibits were presented in good condition. I was impressed with some of the high-quality hounds shown here today.

Class 645 SBD/B (5 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 1690 SOMERTON, Miss Teoni Jaxinorydax Gossip Gal. Composed and assured and kept her proud carriage nicely on the move where she displayed an easy, flowing gait. Decent forehand with clean, nicely arched neck. Good body, could perhaps be a fraction shorter in loin for perfection. Excellent topline.

2nd: 1681 MILLS, Mrs Louise Cedavoch Squall. Another with a pleasing outline. Good length of head and strong jaw. Strong bone and decent feet. Nicely rounded rump. Moved soundly but not quite as settled as the winner
