Critique

Thank you to the exhibitors for their entries, & the good grace with which they accepted my decisions.
German Spitz are little dogs, but nevertheless they should feel fairly substantial. Many Lacked muscle tone, & they need to feel fed & walked. I found far too many lacking substance, & a few nervous ones, who dropped their tail.
I was pleased with my top winners.
