| The North of England Lhasa Apso Club held a Ch Show where I had a most pleasant day judging It was such a pity that the weather was so horrendous that there were a great number of absentees As is common these days the quality in bitches far outweighed that of the males & in fact the younger male classes would give cause for concern. There were some quality youngsters but not in depth, we must get away from this coat & presentation thing at all cost, the breed is much more than that |
| Minor Puppy Dog 6 1st Pointon & Webster's - Quaytown Share the Wish: Nice head & expression, good neck & shoulders best mover in this class. Topline needs to settle, good front, excellent hindquarters balanced head & beautifully presented. Best Puppy in Show 2nd Norris's - Deelayne Sting and Steal for Damjoz: Standing, this dog is quite impressive, nice head, correct shaped eye. Could have more neck & bit floppy in front. Moves OK in profile, superbly presented, in excellent coat. 3rd Phillips' - Dimara Top O'The Morning Res Horne's - Hopeinn's Adrenaline Junkie at Chanceinn Vhc Davis's - Jamikasoka Masquerade at Narmoak |
| Puppy Dog 2 1st Rout's - Simuje Jaleka: B/W in super coat, very good head & expression, good neck and shoulders, moves true front and back, excellent topline. Bit apprehensive to start with but soon got going & moved well 2nd Surtees' - Katay Magical Wizard: Different in balance to 1, little higher on leg than 1 & not as settled. OK in head, nice expression, good front. Just a touch longer cast |
| Junior Dog 6 (1 Abs) Both my winners did everything not to win! 1st Cain's - Night Watchman by Kutani: Really nice dog, so naughty but then that's why we love the breed super shape, sound coming & going, excellent topline & tailset when he decided to move, in profile, he is super. Lovely head & expression, in super coat. 2nd Phillips' - Rictovia Ameriken Boy at Dimara: Gold, hope he has stopped growing, Standing has a stunning profile which just detracts 3rd Barthorpe's - Patarch Hallowein Res Whitehead's - Foxypoms Money Maker Vhc Iredale's - Lianderville Angel Delight |

| Post Graduate Dog 8 (3 Abs) 1st Hall's - Shenedene R U Looking at Me: Not a big dog but well balanced, dense coat which hides his outline somewhat Super head & expression, excellent pigment, well ribbed, excellent topline & tailset, sound both ways well handled, beautifully presented 2nd Bateman's - Kutani Dante's Inferno at Baltoro: S/W, another standing in profile looks well, nice size like 1 OK in head and expression, good mouth, neck & shoulder. Topline rises a little on the table but moving is OK Sure these two will change places on other occasions 3rd Harrison's - Bendellas Old Spice JW ShCM Res Green's - Zanamop's Lightening Strikes Over Zanamop Vhc O'Rourke's - Cleverclaws Marcel de Malo at Dajelilne ShCM |
| Limit Dog 9 (2 Abs) Very nice class, the first three were all good in different ways 1st Cain's - Kutani Secret Agent: G/W liked for his size, balance and typical movement, not overdone anywhere sound coming & going, good neck & shoulder, excellent topline & tailset, will carry his title I am sure 2nd Chalmers' - Chethang Nikodemus: Gold of similar type, not as composed on the move, but a lot to like pretty much could be said of him as 1 & it wasn't easy to decide.

On the final move he was not quite as sound in front as 1 |
| Minor Puppy Bitch 10 (1 Abs) Lots of baby puppies, at this young age not an easy class. 1st Phillips' - Dimara Irish Mist: Full of type & character, s/br, lovely shape, very sound, nice size super head & expression, good neck & shoulder, excellent front, good topline, rosy future for her. 2nd Moorby's - Zanamop Fancy Free at Swandown: G/W, so naughty but so nice, very much a baby but one I feel will do well with a bit more maturity. To go over on the table she was very nice, when she decided to move she held her good outline.

| Puppy Bitch 10 (4 Abs) 1st Hattrell's - Jalus Jazzalicious at Khinjan: Very feminine, nice size, very nice head & the best balanced in the class good topline & tailset, has enough neck for her size. To be critical could be a little finer over her shoulders Moving in profile presents a lovely picture. Best Puppy Bitch 2nd Dickinson, Taylor & Ventura-Moore's - Terendak Educating Rita: Solid black, like all this colour you have to look a bit closer for head detail, liked her head very much & has a true lhasa expression.

| Maiden Bitch 4 (2 Abs) 1st Surtees' - Katay Mystique: 3rd in good puppy class, here she was more settled. Good outline, excellent topline very good in head & expression. Bit sloppy in front but was misbehaving a bit & this could be the reason, still young & will be better when she settles 2nd Hayter's - Meranne's Magic Moments: Nice bitch, not helping her handler on the move & at times dug her heels in, to go over has a very nice head, excellent mouth & underjaw, good in front. Still needs a bit more time with her coat but in a grey this does always take time |

Little long cast but that was being critical. Moves well, excellent coat texture 2nd McCosh & Logan's - Kenworth Eskimo Kiss for Spyanki: Out of a smaller mould & not quite the head of 1. Good pigment, excellent topline, moved and showed well, just needs a bit more coat to finish the picture. 3rd Hayter's - Meranne's Magic Moments |

CC & Best in Show 2nd Cain & Lock's - Kutani Shabby Chic: Really taken with this bitch, don't think I have ever seen her before, very much the type & style we have seen from this kennel.

| Veteran Bitch 2 1st Waterhouse's - Ch Chtaura Kiss Me Honey JW: 7 years & looking so well, but then we know well the breed continues until the teens so well balanced, loved her head & expression, excellent front, good topline & tailset, moves with such style. 2nd Deuchar-Fawcett's - Timazinti Zippy with Saranbeck: 7 years, in her first class wouldn't get her tail up, here she decided she quite liked it and moved OK.
