There was a huge amount to like here and the depth of quality in some of the classes was impressive. I certainly didn't find it hard to find good uns so to speak and I must say I was impressed with the possibility of good, sound, typey stock coming from these males; put together with the array of good bitches we have, the future must look bright. I found a very small number of mouth faults such as misaligned or crooked teeth, and just one undershot with canine tips missing otherwise teeth were strong and clean with correct bite. Good physiques overall and coat conditions considering its winter, but the obvious good feeding and management of these dogs has kept them in good fettle. MPD (11,1) 1.

Loved his front on assembly and his balanced, strong headpiece with distinct stop. Pleasing expression coming from good round dark eye placement and very neat ear set. Skull and head was clean without any looseness of flesh. Correct bite with strong clean teeth. Enough strength of underjaw without being exaggerated. Straight well boned front into good feet.

Was very happy to award him Best Puppy Dog and with the agreement of my co Judge Best Puppy in Breed. 2.
