Critique

Similar to the Kleins I found the bitches so much better in quality and breed type than the dogs. I was thrilled and challenged with so many lovely bitches today and feel that this size has improved so much in the last 5 years, great consistency of type, size, quality and head shapes not to mention soundness too. Temperaments are great and I thoroughly enjoyed my judging. There is a good nucleus of very talented breeders in both sizes and they are doing sterling job of producing dogs of merit and quality. Well done to them. 
PD (1) 1 Player & Waters, Longsdale's No Regrets At Wayworthy Black with a good head, topline and tail but for me too tall and too long. 
JD (2,1) 1 King, Gronw October Moon Over Grizwold, 16 months wolf sable of good size and substance, nicely square with a cobby body, deep rib and level back with a short strong loin and correct tail. His head is well shaped wedge with correctly set and shaped eyes, neat ears and excellent expression, sound and stylish mover, really good youngster.
