I would like to thank the Committee for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Delighted with my super entry and I was certainly spoilt for choice in the quality of the dogs. I was pleased to note dentition has vastly improved over the years. Movement now needs to be addressed for the future of this breed as I observed a multitude of faults. This breed’s survival would depend on its soundness to work in its natural environment. Delighted that my BOB was shortlisted in the Group & BPIB achieved Group 2.
