I enjoyed this interesting entry. My thanks to my two efficient stewards. It is a number of years since I judged Tollers though I have watched them from a distance. I’m impressed how much they have progressed in recent years. Three things in particular have improved. All were happy to be examined, there were no small, incorrectly carried ears and hind movement was generally improved, with none of the very close hind movement I saw in earlier years. A couple of exhibits had missing lower incisor teeth – the tooth sockets seemed to be correctly aligned. A few stood very wide in front. Coats were a problem for a number particularly of bitches who were completely out of coat with no undercoat and lacked tail feathering.
