Northern Counties Shih Tzu Club
Held an Open show on the 6th January 2011 with an entry of 63 dogs making
entries of 92
Firstly I would like to thank my Stewards Ann Pickburn and Mandy Houghton for an unobtrusive job.
I was pleasantly surprised with the number and quality which appeared on the day, there are still far too many that need to be broader in body, overall shape needs to improve and one or two need to show more pad when moving off, overall I thought dogs had the edge on the bitches.
Best in Show was Ch Rossvale She’s Bewitched a most beautiful example of the breed thought in final run off with best dog she gave that touch more on the move to pinch top spot, very worthy winner with a most feminine head lovely make and shape and in super condition at 9 years old.
Res Best in Show & Best Opposite sex was Tansingh Double Jepardy. A well built dog with plenty of substance and an abundance of good quality coat in all departments, nicely headed with a soft expression, reasonable shoulders, very broad body with a firm topline, really good rear quarters when going away, presented in tip top order.
Best Puppy in Show was Symaraju kicking up a storm what a smart dog that ticks all the right boxes, looks big and impressive, but once you go over him on the table it is quite evident that his size is not as big as first though, a delightful head piece with an impressive muzzle and wide open nostrils, broad backed with a firm wide rear action.
Minor Puppy Dog
1st Tsantha Walkn on Sunshine over Sazkey. Very raw puppy that stood out for
his obvious qualities, he had very little coat so you got what you see, nicely headed with good pigment nice short legs, broad backed for one so young, good mover fore and aft.
2nd Shionah’s Big Brown Bear. Well built B & W parti colour at first he was
being silly on the table and would not settle which didn’t help in shape but as the class got on he got better, obviously needs time to settle, large head with a good eye, dark pigment broad ribbing. Abundant of thick coat and well prepared and presented.
3rd Zuthis One Man Band
Puppy Dog
1st Santabella Cheeki Budda a most impressive dog that catches your eye for
his immaculate presentation, arguably I felt he was a touch over prepared, however you could not deny him his place he has many other qualities which out balanced, lovely head piece very clean over the skull, nicely proportioned bodily with a good firm rear.
2nd Shionah’s Big Brown Bear.

good proportions and a very nice size, good broad jaw, nice head, ample neck broad level back, good positive mover but could be better finish coat wise at the rear.

eye for his qualities, just did not have the forward reach of winner, but ticked many boxes today, pleasing on the table, handled and prepared to win.
3rd Caserose Cowboy Magic

Open Dog
1st Tansingh Double Jepardy.

Veteran Dog
1st Brownhills My Choice.
2nd Zuthis Fact Not Fiction among Carlita. Both these veterans are by the same
sire and in many ways they are quite similar in quality although on the day I prefared the broadness of the winner, but both had good make and shape and pleased in many ways and both in good coat order.
Special Beginners Dog
1st Lyndatz Fine and Dandy
2nd Shantrionna Little Dazzle. A pleasing youngster that needs more time to
mature but good in many ways, soft expression with a good eye, good bodily proportions throughout, give him time.

Tsantha Sunkiss. Litter brother to Minor puppy dog and very similar in type, only a baby at present, very good head with a soft feminine expression, very good proportions with good deportment, very positive mover in both directions, presented in pristine condition.
Puppy Bitch
1st Tansingh Color me Beautiful for Mirazian. This was my res best bitch I found
it quite amazing that for best puppy it was challenging it’s half-brother, and the thing that impressed me was her sheer quality in such a small package, this her sire is/or has on this occasion stamped real quality regarding wide nostrils and broad muzzle as both these have these features.
2nd Tansingh all you need is love. Another lovely bitch but not quite the chest
of winner at present, very feminine to view with a lovely head piece and soft expression, good ratio’s that gave her balance. Good mover, quite free, well presented throughout.

depth and width, very pretty head with a soft feminine expression, good make and shape, very light footed with little effort, presented in good order.
2nd Evalove Bella the Ball at Katonier Black & White parti-colour, bigger than

, good hape when she pulled herself together, pleased in head properties with dark soft eye, ample neck reasonable body, little flat in tail, good coat but needs a touch more undercoat. Presented in good clean order.
2nd Tzusweet’s Foxy Lady. A pleasing little bitch that does look really feminine
with a sweet nature, good soft expression shoulders could be a little better, quite a broad body and with good proportions, good firm rear action but a touch wide in front. Good clean order.
3rd Charmed Temptation for Shantrionna.
Graduate Bitch
1st Tansingh Angel and Demon, Quite a nice bitch that was quite broad backed
