I was a very last minute replacement judge. I hope all is well with Aidine Howes. I would like to congratulate all exhibitors on the conditioning of their dogs, all were clean, well-muscled and in hard condition. I think the breed, based on this entry is in a good place. Type varies a little, but basically a sound breed, with no exaggerations or common failings.
