Crufts 2024 ! An experience I only ever dreamed of. I thank the Crufts Committee for my invitation, and I sincerely appreciate and thank everyone who entered and provided a truly international exhibition of Tibetan Terriers. My decisions were accepted graciously by all the exhibitors. I congratulate the breeders of many of the exhibits who showcased their lifetimes work. It was truly an honour and a privilege to have been able to see and judge so much quality. I salute your hard work. For many of the enthusiastic newcomers to the breed, it has given them the opportunity to see many of the dogs and breeders only ever seen on social media and exchange views and experiences. All the experience you saw on display this year came from years of work and we all started somewhere. I would like to say that whilst we saw some fabulous dogs in superb coats, it is not only about the coat it is about having a fabulous dog under it, that is the icing. I was spoilt for choice this year.

I hope you all had safe travels home.

Entries: 11 Absentees: 2

1ST 2507 - Ch Ti La Shu Broadway Babe Ww17 (Mrs S Rauhut) This was a class oozing quality from UK and Europe. The winner was truly outstanding, and it was a lesson in how to show and present. This dog was feminine, balanced and in beautiful condition at nearly 10yrs of age. She was handled so well and was a serious contender for the CC, finally receiving the RCC and truly deserving.

2ND 2457 - Ch Alilah Carmel Ciro at Khyibrang (Mrs J R & Mr A Honey) Before I say anything, I express in interest in this dog, but at no point did it get anything more than she deserved. Her record proves her worthiness. This female is like her father who never let me down in all his years of showing. At 10 ½ yrs of age and bred by one of the best in the UK, sadly no longer active but her work is still evident in today’s dogs. This female has had an illustrious career for her owners and talented young handler, who is one of the future breeder/handlers of our breed in the UK

3RD 2487 - Ch Kyipo's Dramarama at Avaness JW (Mrs V J Meegan) This female, equal to the other 2, oozes quality and like a fine wine has matured into a true beauty. All three at their age are the finest of examples and something for us all to aspire to.

Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1ST 2459 - Incalux Making Waves at Nefertari (Mrs R A & Mrs C L & Miss E F Johnson & Johnson Morris & Morris) the first 2 are equally raw feminine puppies. This girl won on freedom of movement; she held her shape with beautiful head carriage. Good head proportions with reverse scissor bite only 1 of a couple exhibited today. Both well behaved but this girl used her angulation better. Steady positive movement covering the ground.

2ND 2416 - Shadeacre Viva La Vida at Dolkar (Imp Swe) (Mr P & Mrs G Williams) Creates a square outline, Great head proportions, feminine. Rather leggy at the moment, generally needs to settle into her frame. Balanced angulation but requires reach and drive. May come with maturity.

405. Tibetan Terrier - Puppy Bitch

Entries: 8 Absentees: 0

1ST 2434 - Unohoo Magical Maddie (Mrs M & Miss A Erskine-Jones & Guy) A mixed class of puppy females. Loved her overall attitude and shape in the ring. Needs to settle in front in general but young and did have moments when she had it all going on. Feminine, lovely proportions, excellent frame and leg length to body ratio. A very promising prospect from this well-known kennel.

2ND 2540 - Jasu-La Dakini Sangmo La Mani (Imp Deu) (Ms A & Mrs V & Ms F Vernall & Vernall & Neum) Caught my eye coming into the ring, probably the best outline in the class when stood. Like the winner needs to settle in front but a pleasure to go over and very typical, with the true typical temperament “ on my terms” loved her.

Balanced angulation used to advantage on the move. Well presented.

2ND 2492 - Silgarhi Any Dream Will Do (Mrs S J Moore) A more mature and equally feminine female who was testing her handler all the way.

Loved her expression.

3RD 2545 - Djankay Black Orchid (Mr P C & Mrs E Wilson) Sister of 1, not quite as settled as the other two. Being handled by someone else to advantage. Many good qualities but needs more time to come together.

1ST 2505 - Araki Wowie Zowie (Mrs J & Mrs T Price & Leese) This class when entering the ring had several stand outs and these three are testament to that. This one when seen stacked has a classic shape, balanced with a superb shape. On examination she did not disappoint with the best of expressions. Beautifully feminine head proportions with strength and good eye. Well placed ears finshing that expression, correct neck into well placed shoulders. Short back with depth and spring of rib. Balanced angulation all used on the move. Coat and presentation the best as you would expect from this handler.

2ND 2428 - Fabulous Teddy´s Way to Rock Jww Ejw (Mrs B. Duranziova) The first to catch my eye when entering the ring. She has all the qualities of the eventual winner , her gleaming coat made for a difficult decision between 1&2. It all came down to movement and in profile unable to split them. Final up and down and decision made. Both of equal quality and will have even brighter futures.

3RD 2438 - Shamisha Miss Aggi Panthus at Jufari (Mrs J D Fairclough) Super feminine and has many of the qualities of the other two. Super feminine with great expression. Moved well and should have a good future.

410. Tibetan Terrier - Limit Bitch

Entries: 10 Absentees: 2

1ST 2547 - Djankay Starlight Fair (Mr P C & Mrs E Wilson) When this class came in, these placed dogs all stood out in the line. The first 3 came from a similar mold and could change places on another day. This female whilst still maturing and has some way to go had the carriage and movement that I look for. She is ultra feminine with good balanced proportions, feminine head and expression. Enough body and spring of rib but on the slimmer side today. This did not affect her easy flowing balance and movement which ultimately won her the class

2ND 2514 - Khyibrang’s Spanish Eyes with Dejaru (Mrs D Rudderham) Another surprise to me as I have not seen her since a youngster, as she has developed into a super sturdy typey female, with all the qualities of 1. On examination has body and a spring of rib with balanced angulation which she used on the move.

3RD 2466 - Snoanda Morgan Le Fay (Mrs Y Knight) Drew my eye from the first instance and every bit as well put together as 1&2. So good to go over and like the others, developing well. Unfortunately was not as positive on the move today.

But in the case of this winner, it was America. And what a winner, filled the eye with her overall quality, shape and presentation.

Good eye placement with dark eye. Excellent bite. Ample neck into well placed shoulders, fore chest and depth and body. Well ribbed back. Strong loin. Balanced rear angulation.
