Northern Pug Dog Club ch show 18/9/2026
Thank you to the committee for their kind invitation to judge the females at the show today. I thought the quality was very good and I had several that could have easily of taken a CC along with some promising youngsters which all made for an enjoyable day with some difficult decisions to make, but in the nicest way such was the quality. I had no concerns for health today.

1. Storey’s Ch Rhodenash Kotten Kopy JW. A super girl, feminine head with well defined fine wrinkle, clear round dark eyes and excellent pigmentation. Plenty of bone and substance giving a pleasing outline. Deep chest, with well sprung ribs, strong well angulated rear and a high set well curled tail all topped off with a clear fine soft coat. Scored highly on the move, moving out soundly with purpose. Delighted to award her BVB and pleased that she later took BVIS.
