AFFENPINSCHER
Judge: Mr G W Farmer.
I would like to thank the officers and committee for offering me the two breeds I judged today, the Affenpinscher is a breed that I have always loved and enjoyed judging. I look for a small dog with substance but not course which I found in the majority of the dogs on offer today. Anyone who knows me will know that soundness is of great importance in all breeds ,and I found that movement on the whole was good. The exhibitors gave me an excellent entry for which I am very grateful.
