Many thanks to the exhibitors for your entries it was a shame about the absentees. A number of exhibits did not perform as well due to the noise created indoors and by amongst other things the cold bad weather. I found a number of heads untypical with some round eyes, too much stop and some short forefaces giving a more toy type look. As always soundness of body and movement were given a greater priority. Short ribbing was evident amongst the entry which in consequence spoilt the underline. Hind movement in some cases demonstrated a throwing out action of one of the legs before striking the ground which was more noticeable on a concrete surface as opposed to grass. Body weight and condition was not a concern today with no thin exhibits and five hounds very slightly over the 5kg maximum, which were still in good conditioning for their individual body frames.

I found presentation to be of a high standard throughout. Considering todays showing conditions I found temperaments were in the vast majority very good.
