Thank you exhibitors for a lovely entry. Generally the standard was good. The bitches are as good as I have ever known them in my 42 years in this breed. Sadly the dogs are not as strong throughout. I was very pleased with all my class winners and most of my placings. Movement could still be better. I found lack of hind drive and lack of width behind in some exhibits, which cannot be correct in our breed. Fronts however were better than when I last judged. My advice is to get someone else to move your dog for you and be critical of what you see.
