It’s nice when I don’t see the exhibits very often, as I get a clearer overall picture as to where the breed is going. Overall the dogs were in quite good shape but there were a few which were a bit weak at the back end & could do with some more muscle. Nevertheless I would say the breed was in better shape overall than last time I judged which is good news.
