Papillon

I enjoyed judging your breed.  Temperaments were excellent.  Some were too broad in the muzzle and some coats although often quite profuse are certainly not fine and silky. Quite a number with dirty teeth which does detract when you look at a dog on the table.  My sincere thanks for the sporting way you accepted my decisions and my thanks also to my two lovely stewards who were really excellent.
