Lhasa Apso Club Of Scotland

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their championship show and the exhibitors for entering under me in what ended up being a cold and wet July day in Scotland. I very much enjoyed my day and was pleased with my main winners and both the dog and bitch line up. I found lots of exciting youngsters that are coming through which is good for the breed.

Veteran Dog (1)

1. Schuckardt Timazintis Peppermint At Frenchlands JW ShCM, a lovely gold and white 9 year old male. presented a nice shape on the stand. Correct head proportions with good head and expression, good length of neck into shoulder, balanced angulation front and rear, straight forelegs, level topline, correct set tail, moved true.

Minor Puppy Dog (1)

1. Hall & Bell Shenedene The Gambler With Vallena, what an exciting 8 month gold and white male, he just took my attention and just never let it go. Correctly proportioned head, reverse scissor bite, dark oval eye, good pigmentation, strong neck into well laid shoulders. Balanced angulation front and rear, forelegs straight, level topline, high set tail, although he is still young he is certainly a showman and demonstrated that required free and jaunty movement. There is so much to come from this young boy and I cant wait to watch him mature. I didn’t expect to go down the line having such quality mature males but I just could not deny him, RCC, BPD, BPIS.
