Full Critique for Paignton 2012
Judge : Mr Rodney Oldham
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I had looked forward to this appointment for some time and was not disappointed. Thank you for your entries on this my first occasion awarding CCs in the breed. I was quite concerned at the number of dogs with loaded shoulders and feel these needs watching carefully. I really enjoyed judging the Shih Tzu and thought the atmosphere ringside was great. |
