South East & East Anglian Tibetan Spaniel Society Breed Club Open Show

17th April 2022 – Judge: Mrs. Yvonne Cannon

I would like to thank the officers and committee of the South East & East Anglian Tibetan Spaniel Society for the invitation to judge their breed club open show. The show ground was marvelous, and the sun shone, which made it even more enjoyable. Thank you to my stewards Sue and Paula for keeping the ring in good order. Lastly a big thank you the exhibitors for showing under me. The atmosphere was wonderful.

Some general observations of mine were, overall, the entry consisted of dogs of good breed type. All the dogs were shown in excellent condition and in the main sound. My main concern was that bites were not the strongest asset of some exhibits, which detracted from their expression, some lacking chin with depth and width.
