What a great honour it was to be invited to judge my second breed at Crufts. I was looking forward to it with great anticipation having hardly been around the wire rings for a couple of years. I was absolutely thrilled with my entry both in terms of numbers and quality the limit and open classes in both sexes were both large and brimming with quality. I really was splitting hairs as they say. I think the breed is very strong in quality at the moment and the breeders should be commended for that. Just one thing that did crop up mostly in the younger ones was short upper arms that obstructs the forward reach on the move. Many thanks to everyone including my stewards for making it a day to remember.
