Dogs Of Tibet 21st April 2025 Shih tzu 

Thank you to everyone for their entries, really appreciated. It was disappointing that in the Dog challenge a couple of exhibitors decided that “I must have already made my mind up, re Best Dog” and removed themselves from the ring. Obviously they knew more than me and it is very disrespectful to the judge. I hope neither of them find themselves in similar situation when they are possibly judging.
