Its been 4 years since I last judged the breed, thank you to exhibitors for there lovely entry of 35. I do have some concerns, we do seem to be getting too small remember the size is 15"-16" so we already have allowance within the standard. Also some are far to long which then causes a dip in the topline and makes them unbalanced.
Movement is also worrying too, with some are toeing in front, and hind action far too close behind. Tail sets are also another issue we need to be careful of going forward with some tails flying like flags. Having owned the breed, showed and been in breed for over 30 years I do hope these comments are listen too, I love the breed dearly and I hope this is a start to putting the breed back on track.
