"It is over 4 years since I last judged the breed, so I was really looking forward to this appointment. I was not disappointed as I was presented with a really quality entry with such depth, in some classes I did have to split hairs. I congratulate the exhibitors on the presentation especially with such bad weather. I was pleased to see that excessive scissoring was not evident. Most exhibits were of good size with excellent bone and feet. Some very good youngsters waiting in the wings. Some bitches had heads bordering in being masculine, eye shape caused the most concern, too much haw spoiling that lovely melting Newfoundland expression."
