This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I would like to thank the Shih Tzu Club Committee for inviting me to judge their 90th Anniversary Championship Show, which was a very well run show and a lot of hard work had gone into making it a great success, plus the lunch was lovely, the atmosphere was buzzing too. Another big thank you to all the exhibitors who entered and braving the awful weather giving me a fabulous entry of 115. I had some lovely exhibits and hard choices had to be made. Not forgetting a big thank to my Steward Sharon Rose for her hard work. |
