Best of Breed, DCC, 1st YD | 2023 | Border Union | Mrs H Chadwick | Wow! What a fabulous Shih Tzu. Not yet two but has it all. Solid gold. So well balanced between head and tail. Beautiful large well domed head with large dark well spaced eyes, good stop, broad jaw with excellent dentition, well padded muzzle, strong arched neck, well laid shoulders. Such a broad deep, well sprung rib cage, extending well back. Well muscled quarters and really well angulated rear, well set tail which he carries well. Beautiful coat, shown in excellent condition and presentation. In an old standard the movement of a Shih Tzu was described as a “galleon in full sail” that matches the movement of this boy to a tee. He is so well balanced and moves so smoothly reaching well in front and driving well from behind well handled. I was pleased to award him the CC and BOB. He surely must have a bright future. I watched him in the Group, although not shortlisted he gave a very good account of himself and a very good ambassador for the breed. |
