Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, Also thank to the exhibitors who brought their dogs under me, also to the efficient help of my steward.
it is 6 years since I have judged longs, size is a lot better than last time breeders seem to have taken note, temperaments were delightful, teeth were on the whole very clean, there were only a few who’s bite’s were a bit tight, they were judged accordingly, I would say that Longs are in a good position most were fit for function with very few exceptions, I would dearly loved to have taken home both CC winners.
