Thanks to the exhibitors for the nice entry, my apologies for the brief critique unfortunately my tape recorder was blank when I got home therefore I have had to do this from memory.

A few general observations I was very disappointed with fronts this effected the front movement also feet were not correct in many cases, the standard calls for cat feet. I found a lot of gay tails. On the whole, heads have improved since I last judged but so many flew their ears which spoils the expression.

Quite a few exhibitors would benefit from ring training to learn how to show and move their dogs to enhance their qualities.
