Dog RCC, 1st LD2023Border UnionMrs H ChadwickSix quality exhibits. Very good class, I can see these changing places many times. Today was just my preference. 2 and a half yr Solid black. Anyone who knows me will know that for me to appreciate a solid black the head and expression have to say it all. This boy has a lovely expression and head. Beautifully balanced throughout. Good bone, and width throughout. Strong neck and well laid shoulders, level topline and well set tail. Well angulated front and rear. Moved very smoothly around the ring keeping his shape and balance. I was very pleased to award him the RCC.
1st Limit Dog2023Manchu Shih Tzu SocietyMr D IleySolid grey has lots of appeal for me. Love the head shape with the correct eye placement and size with the nose tip tilted. The hands flowed over the body. I will say please watch this dog’s hind movement in profile that I’d say so correct.

3rd Post Graduate Dog2023Manchester
2nd Open Dog2022STC Summer Open ShowThis solid black dog really appealed to me for his balanced outline and sound movement, he is very nicely constructed and smaller all through than 1, well presented and handled, he was unlucky to be in the same class as 1 today, He has a lovely round head, dark round eye, square muzzle and a well set nose, wide jaw and lovely expression. Balanced angulation fore and aft, level topline, well set tail that he carried well over his back, he moved well showing full pad. A lot to like about him.
3rd Limit Dog2022Shih Tzu Club
2nd Yearling Dog2022East of EnglandAt 22 months this Solid Black boy displays a really nice outline, well balanced with good length of rib and short coupled. Just needs a little more lift to his tail. A beautifully shaped head with the desired width giving good width of jaw and good dentition. A nice expression which could only be improved by a rounder eye.
Dog RCC, 1st YD2022Southern CountiesOne that really grasped my attention in the line-up of the class. Such a classic model standing in excellent balance, covered with a dense, well-presented coat. A proudly carried masculine head, looking at you with that typical warm and somewhat arrogant expression. Just the right length of body that gives a great combination of sturdiness and elegance. Combining this with such a nicely high carried tail he just demanded to be counted for. Moved with drive and style, keeping the nice outline. A dog I keep remembering thinking back on this day. Naturally he still needs some more time to fully mature in body, but I could with greatest pleasure award him the reserve ticket in the challenge. A dog I am sure will do really well in the times to come. RCC.
2nd Yearling Dog2022BathThis was a very strong class and Dark Secret was fighting hard. He was close to the winner, but I felt that the first gave a bit more on the move.
