General comment.
Many exhibits were poorly muscled and out of elbow and turned feet in or out on the move. Some of this was lower arm rotation and some poorly constructed pasterns. There were very few with correct upper arm and layback of shoulder. The size of the ring did not favour larger exhibits. Mouths were all acceptable and there was no indication of shyness or aggression. Pigment for the most part good. Many exhibits were overly long for the length of leg and didn’t present the balanced, slightly elongated square, outline. Many lacked length of upper arm which combined with more angulation behind adversely affected movement.

Slightly longer coupled than 1. Had good tight feet but lacked front angulation.

1.Munro's Alibren Ready Teddy
Slightly longer cast dog in good double coat. Attractive dark pigment . A little short in neck would prefer greater length of upper arm and lay back of shoulder. Moved happily but throwing his front legs, movement may be helped by allowing him a looser lead. Happily wagging tail on the move and when free standing. A little long in loin.
