Lancashire & Cheshire English Springer Spaniel Club Open Show 2025

​

Thank you to this industrious committee for the generous invitation to judge their open show, held in conjunction with City of Birmingham. There was a great entry and it was lovely to see the committee had worked to hard to give their show such a clear identity within the championship show. The floor surface was outwith the control of anyone, and the greatest challenge of the day for sure. The hidden drain covers were a veritable nightmare for all breeds concerned and many of the exhibits were very badly affected by them – no amount of training can prepare any dog for something as unexpected as this. I hope none of the youngsters present have any lasting effects. Sadly this caused some placings to be decided based on performance, with a few exhibits being almost impossible to correctly assess on the move on the day.
