I found rather a diverse mix of types here. Not always easy to find a dog with the correct proportions, tail and coat that was a good mover. Some rather large ones. Lots of coats blowing, which didn’t worry me. Some not quite perfect mouths. Toplines were variable too! Having said that, some really typical and sound examples also.
