I would like to thank you for a record entry which was truly humbling yet very exciting. I was pleased with most but again weight and a choice of type to assess made it sometimes difficult. Bites on the wholewer good with only a few level. In puppies I ignore this as the mouth takes time to settle. This is a natural breed and trimming is not my favourite, whiskers are there for a purpose. On the whole presentation was excellent with just a few that could have done with a bath as they did smell! Please remember this is a moderate breed not over heavily done neither under done. Agile yet strong enough to work large loads. Well done to my best of breed on taking the group, he powered round the ring making me so proud. I loved the puppy classes where most were lovely, happy babies. Pity there was not a prize for all.
