My thanks to the secretary and committee for the invitation to judge their championship show and to my very efficient stewards who kept things moving forward due to the late start mid afternoon as the championship show followed the Open show. It is always a pleasure and honour to judge a breed show and I was delighted with my entry especially my bitch line up. Having judged this breed since the 70’s at championship level a lot has changed some good and some not so good, presentation is excellent. Size, the breed is becoming larger although a few were for me perfect size, movement has always been a problem a Shih Tzu should reach in front with legs as straight as possible allowing for a broad chest and drive the rear, in some this is not happening some paddling at front and at rear moving too close and not showing clear pad, on the whole the top lines were good but I was sorry to see a few flat tails this is not correct and spoils the outline and balance. A few overweight again this affects the movement causing the dog to waddle. On the whole bitches were far better than dogs.

My thanks to the officers and committee for a well run and happy show, also to my 2 excellent stewards who made my job easy with their efficient assistance. My overall impression was that a few of the dogs were carrying a little too much weight which does not help movement and that the breed as a whole is getting larger, movement on the whole was better than when I judged last however some still move too close behind and with not enough reach in front. Eyes and pigment were very good, top lines, tail set and reach of neck also good. Teeth were mixed, but as long as the jaw is broad I can forgive this. I was very pleased with the quality of the exhibits, particularly the puppies which bodes well for the breed and I was able to find what I was looking for in the breed.

1st Best VeteranCh. Puzzle The Penpusher by Jardhu ShCM
I would like to thank the secretary and committee of the Shih Tzu Club of Scotland for inviting me to judge this lovely friendly show and for looking after me so well during my stay, also to my two very efficient stewards who made my day easy and the exhibitors for entering and giving me some quality dogs to judge. My overall opinion was that there is a variance of type and size in the breed, movement is still a problem that never seems to go away with some moving too close behind giving the impression of only having one leg and others paddling in front or too wide. Eyes on the whole were good, dark and round, pigment did not seem to be a problem, top lines were mostly good although a few did rise toward the rear. I only found a few with narrow chest. I was pleased to see a few of what I call old type Shih Tzu, these can be rather stubborn and more difficult to show but for me just gorgeous and as always presentation was excellent. My winners had all the necessary attributes I was looking for.

A quality entry with only 4 absentees. On the whole I felt the breed had improved since I judged in the UK last but I still feel that a lot of exhibitors do not understand the correct Shih Tzu movement. Many were stepping short in front & one even moved in front with a terrier action. I have been rather perturbed by a number of comments in the press about pinched nostrils in the breed but I am pleased to say that not one of the dogs entered under me had this problem. We did have it in the breed many years ago but bred the fault out. One thing that needs addressing is the huge range of sizes.
