1 Lawrence's Huxlor Political Affair. I have often admired this bitch with her breathtakingly stunning head. A typical shih-tzu in looks and nature she can be stubborn for her handler but today pulled out all the stops. 4 yrs and in her prime has the most open oriental face and large round dark mischevious eye with the most perfect space between them, wide slightly tiptilted nostril, perfect dentition, she has it all and I could not resist her today. Strong proud arch of neck, firm muscular body, level topline, moves soundly fore and aft with the most dignified of carriage, her outline complimented by t/pot tail. A true old fashioned glamour girl. Moving like a ship in full sail! Delighted to award her Bitch CC - which I've been told is her 3rd.

Another beautiful bitch, 3 yrs, the most eyecatching red/white flowing coat, has coal black pigment in her exquisite oriental expression, elegance personified with poise and balance, has shapely ample boned framed and good spring of rib, level topline, and covers the ground with ease, showing plenty of pad and has well defined rear action. Sound fore and aft, twas a hard choice between two top quality girls - just splitting hairs for final placement. Res Bitch CC.
