Crufts Championship Show 2017

10 March 2017

Papillon Judge: Mrs Cathy Urquhart (Blackpark)
Toy Group Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn-Andrews
Best in Show Judge: Mr Jeff Horswell

I would like to thank Each and Every Exhibitor that entered their Papillon and Phalene under me for exhibition at Cruft’s Dog Show 2017. In each class I only had five prize cards to give out. In some classes, some excellent quality Papillon and Phalene had to go without a card that in otherwise normal circumstances would have well deserved a prize card.

One worry for ‘our Breed’ is that I found a lot more ‘Double Coats’ than I should have done, I counted a lot more Double Coated Dogs than I have fingers on two hands. For those that don’t know what a double coat actually is: a ‘Double Coat’ is where there is two layers of hair, a short undercoat of dense hair and a longer top coat of guard hairs. These two layers blend in with each other ‘and form a double coat’.
Coat wise I was looking for a long fine silky coat, abundantly flowing but without any undercoat. (A Single Coat)
Cathy Urquhart

Presentation on the whole was good and in a few cases the best I have seen and touched and I could not have matched some of this presentation myself.

This class was one of the two classes that was a difficult decision for me, as the first and second could have gone either way.

2nd FRASERMAR STORM IN THE SNOW (MR F & MRS E COMRIE-BRYANT & ANDERSON) Tri-Colour Dog. Very unlucky to have met ‘one’ here Today. The deciding factor went down to the lack of presentation on his detention; otherwise it was splitting hairs on these two very lovely Papillon Males of the ‘same Type’. His Coat was presented in clean gleaming condition.

His Conformation like the first two in the class was excellent, he is extremely well put together and a lovely balanced shape to his stance. Lovely head piece with a good set of ears with fringing.
