"A pleasing entry of well presented and temperamentally sound dogs. Too many dogs were overweight and paid the price when it affected their movement or outline. Faulty front movement fell into two categories – moving too close with hardly any width between elbows and – swinging the front leg out in a semi-circle before bringing it forward during movement. Hind movement was generally very impressive. A few exceptionally nice dogs went lame – obviously a temporary blip, but one that had to be penalised when competing against equally nice dogs who were sound on the day."
