First Place in Veteran - 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.
Rather heavy and upright in the shoulder but moved better behind. Good skin and coat and has a pleasing head. Starting to show his age now.
