 Firstly i would like to thank the exhibitors for giving me such a lovely entry its greatly appreciated . All dog were well presented , type varied immensely , movement on the whole good , mouths a big problem for me - quite a few very undershot , many missing teeth , a few wry jaws - definitely and area worth the watching . Temperaments all good and presentation on the whole excellent - must admit i really enjoyed judging this lovely breed and the exhibitors were so very sporting and accepting of my decisions - it was a real pleasure to judge  .
