Paignton. Tibetan Spaniels

I would like to start by sending my best wishes to Carol Harwood who should have judged this entry, but sadly withdrew just before entries closed. Thanks for accepting me as a replacement, with such a nice entry. Sadly we were rather late starting. This breed is a bit of a challenge to judge, a big variation in type. I tried to put up the proportions I think are correct, slightly longer than tall, and thought the BCC line up was fairly even. The dogs are great characters and I really loved the way some of them looked at me.
