Critiques from the Oct 2019 Speciality Show

A message from the judge...

​

I would like to commend the Dominion Chihuahua Club and its members for putting on a lovely show with beautiful trophies. I found the show grounds very comfortable and good sportsmanship was quite evident. Congratulations, well done.

​

Also, I would like to thank the club, its members, exhibitors, ring steward, show manager and especially the beautiful Chihuahuas for making my judging assignment in New Zealand so wonderfully special. I must remark how beautiful the Chihuahuas are in New Zealand. Not only did they carry Chihuahua type, they were sound in temperament. You should be proud of your efforts.

 

I personally feel they would be able to compete competitively in the United States. Thank you for trusting me to judge your adorable breed. This is one judging assignment I will always hold dear and reflect on fondly.

 

Thank you.
