First Place in Junior, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)

Show Critique:

It was, again, a pleasure to judge the breed. I thought that there was a lack of depth in quality in some classes though those which were placed were more representative of the Breed Standard. A few entries lacked true breed type and one almost questioned what other breed was involved in their lineage. The most recurring fault was in front movement which was a testament to some loaded shoulders.

Placing Critique:

This was a dog of more correct size than some others which are likely to become rather coarse when mature. Good thick skin and correct double coat. Kept his topline on the move, shoulder well laid back, allowing free movement.
