Breed: Japanese Shiba Inu

Critique for Darlington Japanese Shiba Inu

You thank you to the committee and to my two stewards who ensured the ring rang smoothly.

The breed standard asks for light quick and energetic, not a slow walk in a park or a hundred miles an hour, all exhibits had good mouths and all males were entire.
