Miss Elizabeth WILKINSON

Judging: Pug, Toy Group

Thank you for this lovely entry and the sporting way you accepted my placings. It is over eight years since I last judged the breed, and I found their overall health and presentation to be very good. I only had to penalise two overly heavy wrinkles and one protruding eye. My only quibble was with the large amount of baiting that went on whilst the exhibit was on the table, sometimes making the hands on  assessment difficult.
