To start with I need to express my total sadness on hearing the sad news of Thaisu Desperate Housewife for Kimevan passing. I extend my heartfelt condolences to her owners and breeders.
I would like to thank South Wales and Western Counties Shih Tzu Club for inviting me to judge their Championship Show.
Such a pleasant, enjoyable day made even better by my extremely efficient Stewards Jackie and Shayne.
The Show was so well organised and there was such a good atmosphere.
Thank you to everyone for my fabulous entry, both in numbers and overall quality.
I was delighted with both of my CC lineups. I felt they were really strong, especially the Bitches.
It was a real pleasure to Crown two new Champions on the day. The way both were received by the room was fabulous.
Since my last appointment I felt that white of eye wasn’t as evident. Mouths overall were good. Pleased to say narrow back ends were not so much of a problem.
Sadly, on the downside, we still need to watch narrow fronts. Lack of chest room resulted in some exhibit’s front feet almost touching on the move. At the moment a big problem is thinking overload of coat is the most important thing. It actually spoils the overall shape. I appreciate we need a good coat but it is only the icing on the cake. Movement should be our number one priority as if a dog moves correctly then it is constructed correctly.
I’ve awarded CCs at home and abroad for many years but I can honestly say that this appointment was very near the top of my list! A GREAT DAY, THANK YOU. |
