My first CC appointment in this variety, I think the most difficult variety to judge due to the mixed types presented. I was pleased on the whole with my placings. All the dogs were in good body condition with a few slightly over the weight but as this is only considered a fault as any other fault. Dentition was generally ok with a few dirty teeth, and only one with an inverted canine. Coats were ok in the main with some good harsh coats, some coats were ready for coming out. Muscle tone could be improved in some and there were a few that looked good on the stack but had toplines that fell apart on the move.
