Best Veteran Sutcliffe & Lewis’ Ch Now and Forever Deelayne
I would like to thank the Association for the invitation to judge at this show. Although not a numerically large entry, I had many qualilty exhibits to assess. Unfortunately, some took a dislike to the floor and in typical Lhasa fashion, refused to walk. I found a number of dogs lacked the required shoulder angulation and many exhibits lacked well muscled hindquarters. Presentation was good and I thank the exhibitors for the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions.
