Full Critique for South Wales 2022
Judge : Mrs Wendy Cain
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| Thank you to my lovely two stewards for their help Overall was rather disappointed in the breed this time. Many did not have the balance I was looking for, some far too long in the leg looking for like a Lhasa balance. Not many with a deep Shih Tzu chest. I know the ring was cold so maybe this added to some of the restricted movement I found. Was pleased with my winners especially my two Res CC winners, they were a delight to judge. |
| Minor Puppy Dog | ||
| 1st | Ch. Zeeva Cool Dude | Deep gold/white, gorgeous head and expression, excellent mouth. Good angles fore and aft giving him a super outstanding balance, high set tail completed the picture. This young boy is going to have a great future BPD & BP in Breed |
| 2nd | Mifcahs Return Of The King To Javerda | b/w boy not quite sure of himself today. Made a nice picture standing, good tail set, just needs time |
| Junior Dog | ||
| 1st | Massarati Arssamandi Astarte Gold At Densown (ImpP | G/w 17months old super star of the future. Loved everything about him. Handsome head, wide mouth, expressive eyes, strong neck into well angled front assemble, forelegs ok, used his good hind angulation to move round the ring with style and purpose. Time is on his side, I wish him and his young handler well for the future. Well deserved Res CC |
| 2nd | Mifcah’s By Royal Command To Javerda | G/w 13 month old boy. I liked his head and balance, good body for age with just the right amount of ribbing, tail set completed the picture, would have liked more drive from the rear |
| Post Graduate Dog | ||
| 1st | Carlita Remember To Dream | G/w All male, strong in body with good balance. Very nice expression high tail set, well angulated. His forward reach and rear drive won him this class. |
| 2nd | Ch. Cremefern Trigger A Storm At Symaraju JW | G/w a very nice dog, liked his balance, good head, well put together moved out well. |
| Limit Dog | ||
| 1st | Tiziano Serenissima | G/w Stood alone in this class but deserved his win. A nice dog to go over. Strong neck into well laid back shoulder, good return to upper arm, high tail set, good kick back and extended front on the move. Top line could have been better |
| Open Dog | ||
| 1st | Ch. Daltricia Jamie Lee JW ShCEx OSW | B/w All masculine dog, in tip top condition, beautiful healthy, shiny coat with eye catching markings. Masculine head with right proportions, good eye, mouth and bite good. Body just right in every way, sprung rib cage, strong loin, level top line and a nice kick back to round off a lovely dog. Excellent tail set made the complete picture. CC & BOB |
| 2nd | Ch. Miracey Zero Hour | G/w Nice male with lovely head, good width to skull, nice eye proper high tail set, a feature of the breed that distinguishes them from their Lhasa cousin which a lot did not have today. Moved out really well. |
| Minor Puppy Bitch | ||
| 1st | Minfaa Shes Quick On The Draw | G/w My notes say “naughty but oh so nice” and she was Beautiful head, dark eyes, well developed neck for such a baby.Good in forelegs, good rear, very pretty girl. Her joy was her super movement. I wish you well with her, she is a delight. |
| 2nd | Mifcah’s For Your Eyes Only | B/w Another delightful baby. Movement out the top draw, excelled in strong neck, balance and tail set making a super shape, loved her exuberance on the move, must be one for the future. Two really super babies. |
| Puppy Bitch | ||
| 1st | Santosha Serenade For Essvana | G/w Liked this girl a lot, exquisite head, dark eye, good skull shape. Strong well muscled neck which she held high on the move giving a nice outline, really lovely to go over, everything in the right place. Movement gave her this class which was a joy to watch BPB |
| 2nd | Santosha Sunkissed At Miracey | G/w Smaller type than 1st. Nice to go over, pretty girl, carried tail well, handler needs to keep her at a slower pace to get the best out of her. Would prefer a more undershot mouth |
| Junior Bitch | ||
| 1st | Malaga Arssamandi Astarte Gold At Densown | G/w Stood alone (sister to my Dog Res CC) Many attributes the same as the brother but not as confident on the table. Beautiful head and expression. |
| Post Graduate Bitch | ||
| 1st | Ch. Marhilway Explorer The Edge | G/w Beautiful Beautiful my notes say. A real find this one So full of potential, superb balance, an absolute picture.Hands just flowed over her excellent body proportions. Excellent spring of rib (one of the few) well ribbed back, strong loin, good angles fore and aft, strong hocks giving a super drive from the rear. Shall watch this one with interest Res CC. |
| 2nd | Tzusweet Masquerade | Black Smaller type, Nicely balanced, lovely shiny coat which could be presented better. Needs to firm up in top line but movement got her her place. |
| Limit Bitch | ||
| 1st | Ch. Peekin Hoi-Tee-Toi-Tee-Tu | G/w Beautiful girl with super outline and shape but a little longer in the leg than my others in the line up. Nice dark eye, well balanced head proportions, in great coat and conditioning. A lot to like about this girl. |
| 2nd | Lyndatzu Enchantment at Tzusweet | Black Not liking her day out today, Quite a nice head and front but back end not matching front in angles. |
| Open Bitch | ||
| 1st | Ch. Tameron Miss Black Orchid | Hard decision between 1st and 2nd here. Similar in shape.1st gorgeous sweet head, excellent outline, good to go over with angles correct, excellent extension and excellent drive. Presented perfectly. |
| 2nd | Marhilway Spirited Edge | G/w Loved this girl, deep colouring, excellent head, wide mouth lacking a little body and muscle tone but moved well, not quite the presentation of 1st. |
