Midland Lhasa Apso Association Open Show Sunday 1st September 2019.

Judge Mrs D L Whincup (Tamilanda)

It was a great honour to be asked by the clubs committee to judge at this prestigious show. I was thrilled with both the size and quality of entry. All owners, breeders and exhibitors had turned their dogs out beautifully. In some classes I required more red ribbons. All who entered accepted my placing gracefully. Unfortunately I lost a few dogs due to the floor surface; they seemed to be spooked by the grates that were hidden beneath the carpet. I thank you all.

I loved his length of neck which had a great arch to it. Good cat feet with straight front legs. Tail carried high over his back with good feathering. Loved the roundness of his rear, which gave him the equipment to drive around the ring kicking up his coat to show me his pads as he drove away.
