MSPC 2024 Champ Show

Judges Critique

Judge: Jackie Smith (Panrico)

It was a great honour and privilege to be asked to judge and award the first set of tickets at the Midland Shar-pei Clubs first Championship Show.
The committee put on a fabulous show for the exhibitors. The Club has worked so hard over the years, the persistence of the officers and committee to be awarded CC status is fantastic. A great achievement for the club. I had a fantastic entry. Thank you for braving the awful weather. A big thank you to the exhibitors for supporting the club. I’d like to thank the club and exhibitors for making it a very enjoyable day for me. Shar-pei is a breed that is very close to my heart.
