I really enjoyed judging this breed, the exhibitors were supportive, encouraging and so friendly with each other, they were a real breath of fresh air, thank you for bringing your dogs under me today.

1. Foakes’ Hightimbers Oaks of Tutelary. 2½ year old male, masculine head and expression with dark eye and good pigment, balanced skull and well set ears, soundly made in front and rear with strong neck, liked his proportions, he was balanced standing and moving, in lovely coat and condition, BD.

2. Edwards Hightimbers Walnut. Litter brother to 1st and he had many similar qualities, masculine head and expression, good angulation but I preferred the shoulder of 1st, at times he tended to lose his top-line when standing which spoilt his shape but I liked his overall proportions, moved out soundly, RBD.
