Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Masculine head & expression. Good depth of body, could be a little narrower all through as this made his front a little wide. In a good coat & moves well behind.
