                                        I attended my first bulldog breed show
                                        when I was just weeks old and I’m
                                        now 19 and I’m showing, judging and
                                        stewarding. I’ve completed all the
                                        necessary seminars so far and will
                                        continue to do so for when I reach all
                                        my numbers to move up to CCs. I’ve
                                        completed all my stewarding as well
                                                                                         Team Linmist
                                        and have even had the privilege of being
                                                                                   (Roni with her Mum & Nan)
                                        asked by many different clubs for me
                                        to steward for them and I steward for the South of England Bulldog
                                        Society which I’m a committee member on and have been an honorary
                                        member since I was 12. I currently show alongside my mum under
                 Aged 3 and 11          show name ‘Linmist’ which my nan started in 1980’s and have grown up
                                        watching her and my nan show. I’ve also had the pleasure of showing
                                        many of my nan’s dogs. I couldn’t thank them enough for teaching me
                                        all I needed to know and I’m still learning to this day, they’ve been there
                                        to support me on my whole journey they really are an inspiration. When
                                        I was younger I also had a Boston Terrier that I did junior handling with
                                                                             and was part of the YKC, but I
                                                                             didn’t enjoy my experience at all
                                                                             and it wasn’t for me so I stuck
                                                                             to showing bulldogs and it was
                                                                             the best decision I made. I’ve
                                                                             also had the enjoyment of going
                                                                             with my mum abroad to Spain,
                                                                             Norway, Belgium, Holland &
                                                                             Amsterdam to watch her judge
                                          Judging Manchester & Counties      and I absolutely loved every
