Midland Shar Pei Club Open Show 14th July 2007
Judge: Mr. Matgo Law
My
sincere thanks to the Committee of the Midland Shar Pei Club for
the invitation to judge their Open Show 14 July 2007. It has been
12 years since my last close examination of the Shar Pei in UK.
I am happy to see the tremendous improvement in type and qualities.
Many exhibits have very good harsh coat texture which I regard as
an important feature of the breed. I also found the bitches have
generally higher qualities than dogs. Quality bitches are so important
to a breeder and success of a kennel prefix.
The
Secretary told me that the entry is good and I thank you for the
enthusiasm and support from the exhibitors. I have totally enjoyed
the Show and my stay in UK. It is so nice to see the old friends
again and meet new ones. Many thanks again to my UK Shar Pei friends
making my trip in your country a very pleasant one. |
