Full Critique for Joint Shih Tzu Clubs 2022
Judge : Mr Tony Paczowski
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I would like to thank the Committee & Officers of the Hosting Club , the Northern Counties Shih Tzu Club for the invitation to judge this Show . I would also like to thank my capable and efficient Stewards Jackie and Tom . I was very happy with my principal winners who had the specific breed points I was looking for - Sturdy, well balanced, broad heads with soft arrogant expressions and who could move with good reach and a driving rear action. On the downside some exhibits had untypical heads with bad nose placement , no width between the eyes and narrow jaws which gives the wrong expression. Some exhibits were also lacking in width and depth of chest. In the lower classes some exhibits were also very long in back . |
