"A lovely quality entry that unfortunately meant in some classes excellent dogs went cardless. Temperaments were first class as always and presentation very good, verging on perfection in some.

I was pleased to see size more has become uniform although a few bitches are too big, almost doggie 'size is desirable providing symmetry and balance is maintained', in some cases symmetry and femininity has been lost. Angulation has improved generally but we still have some upright in upper arm, resulting in lack of reach in front. I was also very pleased to see good substance and bone and few narrow bodied dogs."
