EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from February 1975, we witness the extraordinary Mrs. Joan Walker of Reading, who has already made history at the prestigious Crufts Dog Show before its grand opening. Despite the show's stringent criteria that only allows the crème de la crème of canines to participate, Mrs. Walker has defied all odds by qualifying with an impressive count of 13 dogs. A closer look reveals that all her entrants are none other than adorable Basset Hounds, renowned for their distinctive long ears and soulful eyes. However, what truly sets her pack apart are two special French "Shaggy". Bassets known as Basset Griffon-Vendeen – a rare breed indeed. Capturing this remarkable moment is Mirrorpix's lens, showcasing Mrs. Joan Walker standing proudly amidst her furry companions in anticipation of their upcoming triumphs at Crufts Dog Show. Pay close attention to Vloret and Windsor, the two magnificent "shaggy". Bassets positioned on the extreme right side of the frame; they exude elegance and charm like no other. This photograph not only encapsulates Mrs. Joan Walker's unwavering dedication to her beloved dogs but also serves as a testament to her exceptional skills as a breeder and handler. It is a snapshot frozen in time that celebrates both canine beauty and human determination within the vibrant world of dog shows during the nostalgic era
