Upcoming International Shows :
While it may be difficult for people to travel to the European shows , it is a great opportunity to see many dogs all in one place and to be able to meet the European breeders and owners . This additional experience gained and brought back to the UK allows the development of the breed to remain in line with Europe and Japan and ensure that we do not develop the breed in a different direction and therefore become isolated .
