Pembroke Corgi

I always enjoy judging Corgis. In the past few weeks I have judged Pems in Sweden and Finland. Whilst there are some good ones in both countries Finland was better than Sweden) I think depth of quality was better today than there. Interestingly in my opinion too much length of back and ears are problems in all 3 countries. I thought this was a numerically high entry and a lot of interesting decisions to make.
