A very good entry of 40 dogs all of whom were present. Numbers continue to build satisfactorily, perhaps in a year or so they might be considered for an allocation of tickets. Size varied slightly and a few had rather small heads and fine forefaces with very small teeth. Much of the front movement could improve. Temperaments were very good. One monorchid. All shown in lovely clean condition with gleaming coats and lots had good muscle tone. In the years I have been judging them it is good to find that the breeders follow the standard closely as overall the entry was very satisfactory.
