Second Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr David G Winsley (Davmar)
I last judged the breed in 2017 so most of the dogs were new to me. I felt that the breed is losing that ‘ otter head’ appearance, fore-faces appearing to be too long. Poor front construction in many was a deciding factor in my placing, our ring didn’t help, but the conditions were the same for everyone.
Not as developed in head as 1, but should come with age. Good in neck & shoulders with a good depth of body. Nice turn of stifle, correct tailset. In a short coat, needs to settle in movement both ways.
