It was both an honour and a pleasure to judge Shih Tzu dogs at this breed club’s 34th Championship Show. My very grateful thanks to all concerned, not least exhibitors and their dogs.

3 Carwardine’s Fairlou Red Rum JW

VD (8)
1 Grugan’s Ch & Ir Ch Jardhu the Republican. Still in great condition at 9 years old. Typical tail set, good front and correct topline. Lovely skull shape and eye. Moved with confidence. A very worthy Best Veteran in Show.
