WINDSOR – SHIH TZU – 28th June 2025 – Tony Moran

Thank you all for a lovely day with this very special breed. I was happy to have been first into the ring and were finished before the intense heat occurred. The main thing for me was the depth of quality in the dogs shown today, especially in the younger classes. The details that make this breed unique were present in abundance and I was spoilt of choice.

Open Bitch (5/2)

1. Ch Santosha Silhouette (Mr D & Mrs S M Crossley)
