Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)
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.
Strong headed dog, narrow in front with a good lay of shoulder allowing for free movement. This combined with good quarters provided drive. Should be very capable of following a horse. Shown in full, harsh, dense coat. Res C.C..
