Thank you to the Shih Tzu Club for the invitation to judge their Championship show and to the exhibitors for the lovely entry. The ground conditions were challenging to say the least, and I commend you all for coping so well. The breed has seen some changes since I judged 4 years ago and sadly not for the better. Eyes becoming smaller and lacking the warm Shih Tzu Expression and many mouths have taken a backward step, with narrow jaws jumbled or missing teeth. I fund the most worrying is size, with legs getting far too long and giving an uncharacteristic movement. That said thankfully there are still many dogs with great quality and being bred to the Shih Tzu standard and all of my winners displayed this. |

What a privilege to judge this wonderful entry and thank you to all exhibitors who brought their dogs under me. I love this breed so much and was delighted that the temperaments were all fabulous and presentation and handling was of a very high quality. Thank my to stewards, Dorothy McIntyre and John Willett, who stepped in at last minute and carried out their duties with professionalism and humour. |
