Ladies Kennel Association

L.K.A. SHOW REPORT. December 2022

Thank you to the committee of LKA for inviting me to judge TIBETAN TERRIERS,

And also for committee’s generous hospitality. Thank you to my steward for the day.

            Thank you to all the exhibitors for entering and giving me the privilege of assessing your lovely dogs.

Due to the imperfect floor and grates, a number of dogs did seem to struggle on the move, and subsequently this did affect some of my placings.

I found the bitches to have more depth of quality than the males, but there were fewer males entered. Having said that, I was very pleased with my winners. Both MPB and PB classes had some very promising prospects looking to the future, I shall follow them with interest.
