East Of England Agricultural Society

East of England Championship Show – Lhasa Apso

Many thanks to all the exhibitors for giving me a lovely entry to judge at the last England of England Championship Show. A few things that stood out to me since my last appointment - heads and eye shape have deteriorated and many had over exaggerated rear movement. Quite a few of the exhibits were too thin for me. Exhibitors were sporting to each other which is nice to see.
