Show critique
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.

Show critique
I would like to thank exhibitors for a wonderful entry and thank my two brilliant stewards.
I last judged Shih Tzus in 2015 and at that time I thought the breed was in a great place. So many good mouths I commented that the breeders were to be congratulated. What has happened since then is disappointing. On the day there had to be compromises, as not many had good construction and type. Some that just oozed beautiful type were not sound. What has happened to the Shih Tzu kick back, where are the well sprung ribs, only few present here today.

I would like to thank the exhibitors for such a lovely entry. I commend the breeders who have obviously worked so hard to improve mouths, I didn’t find one ’tombstone ’ set of teeth, quite the contrary, mouths were very impressive. On a more negative note, a lot of backends, were weak and lacked muscle tone and function, with hocks suffering likewise. Due to this, there was not many with the effortless kick back that a Shih Tzu is known for. I was shocked to find quite a few with not much spring to their rib cages giving rise to no depth of chest. Teapot tails are on the decline and those that did have them made for a complete picture. Having said all this, I really enjoyed my day and found quality in the classes.
