Thank you for the lovely entry, which was much appreciated .1 wish I could say all, was well with our breed but unfortunately that would not reflect what I found. I have not judged males since 1996 and I was surprised at what I found. Mouths have improved but eyes remain a problem didn’t find much white of eye but too many have small eyes. Also light eyes seem to be on the increase both in the dog classes and the younger bitches. Toplines are a problem also, along with poor shoulder placement mainly confined to the dog classes. There was no evenness in type in the males. The b classes were much more even in type and quality, full of plenty of sound typical Shih~Tzus. I had no problems with temperaments, v happy, outgoing Shih Tzus with only the occasional one who was finding the heat a little trying.
