"A joy and a pleasure to judge this breed which maintains a high standard of excellence. Due mainly, I am sure, to a small group of dedicated connoisseur breeders who go to great lengths to breed selectively and bring in new bloodlines when required.

The Landseers rather dominated the scene. They were all particularly good in clear tight eyes, showing no haw & were excellent in good mouths, having roomy strong jaws with strong good dentition. As judges we are required more and more to give close attention to health problems when judging and I found some exhibits had dirty eyes and a tendency to entropian. Something which can be bred out if an effort is made.

With the high standard today it came down to detail at times and several who impressed when standing, disappointed when moving and carrying their tails like flags. The puppy classes brought some interesting winners and future stars. Winner of both minor classes, brother and sister, as were the puppy dog and bitch, brother and sister Landseers, with the dog Landseer winning RCC. The future must remain bright for this breed."
