"What an honour and pleasure to be asked to judge at this superb show. I was very impressed with the sporting showmanship of the exhibitors. The wonderful quality of the majority of the dogs. Temperaments were excellent. I was very pleased to see that the breed has improved significantly in both eyes and mouths. Movement, as with all heavier breeds, constantly needs attention. The acceptable slightly toe-ing in movement in front was rather more than exaggerated in some of the exhibits."
