The Lowchen (Little Lion Dog) Club- Judge Mrs Sonja Björklund (Bumir), Sweden 10/11/18

Entered males in total: 31 Judge mrs Sonja Björklund (Bumir), Sweden
I would like to start by thanking the club for the invitation. It was a great honor to judge the males at this well-planned exhibition. The celebration of 50 years definitely gave an extra shine to the show. I am very grateful to all of the exhibitors for bringing their beautiful dogs for me to judge, it honestly was an absolute privilege. The quality of the males was overall of high quality. In some of the classes, it was the small details that made the decision of a placement. Should I mention anything that should be considered in the future, a larger number of dogs had unbalanced frontmovements. I found that a few coats had a little bit to much preparation. Less products had made the quality of the coat easier to feel. However, my lasting memory of the show will be lovely proportions, excellent coats and wonderful temperaments!
