"I was very pleased with my winners and the depth of quality is still very strong, but I did find some dogs to be very overweight, not a good sign for a working dog. Also there was a couple who were far too thin and a few had short tails. Many a good dog went cardless. I found LD the hardest class to judge with so many excellent quality dogs. Presentation was excellent, so was the temperament, as it should be for our breed, known as the gentle giant."
