Its always a honour to judge this lovely breed. I did find that detention is again greatly improved in the breed and movement is on the up. Coats were not at the best on some of the exhibits today. I was also a little disappointed to find some with poor muscletone. It Was pleasing to be advised that the CC winners were brother and sister.
