Judge: J. Robin-Smith

Thank you for a lovely entry and the friendly atmosphere round the ring. I like a Shih Tzu with level topline and proudly held head and tail, a solid body on short legs and with breadth and balance of head properties. In close decision these points were the clinchers. BIS was the dog, Santosha Yours Truly at Lauramist. RBIS was Socorro Uptown Girl. BP was Tsantha Sunnyside Up at Sazkey.

MPD. 1. Mollard’s, Rysemar Flame Dancer. BPD. 6 months old. Lacking development for age. Attractive head and expression. Level topline. Good bone and ribcage. Moved soundly.
2. Ritchie’s, Ambergate Thats the Story. 7 months old. Good outline with high tail carriage and short legs. Large dark eyes. Not so pleasing in front.

PD. 1. Ritchies’, Ambergate Cast No Shadow. 7 months old lacking in maturity for age. Has a broad head and large dark eyes. Short well boned legs and well held tail. Just needs to tighten in front.

JD. (3). 1. Salt’s, Passionelle Way Out West. 17 months old striking b/w in larger mould. Broad head and nose. Good depth and breadth of chest with tight elbows. Good neck and balancing high set tail carriage. Moved ok.
