I found a lot of faults in this lovely variety. Upright shoulders were rife making for rather short necks, also a decent prosternum was difficult to find. A lot looked good stacked but lost their outline on the move. I have read about level bites but I didn't find any. Pigmentation left much to be desired especially in nails and some noses. Coats were also variable with flat and silky not too evident. Temperament was mainly good, nothing I could not handle on the table.
