"So pleased with my principle winners today, they excelled in all that is correct for a Newfoundland. Type is still mixed but judging by the puppies coming up it is going the right way.

There are a couple of points I think breeders need to look at; one is that steep upper arm, it not only leads to lack of reach in front but also looks wrong when stacked and in one case today created a sloping topline! The other thing is lack of femininity in some bitches, size is important but not at the expense of symmetry, balance and femininity."
