Thanks to Leeds committee for inviting me to judge. Such a shame about the weather but still well run show and so friendly. Thanks to everyone for entering under me, it was nice to see the Mittels are still high quality even though the numbers have dropped, but that is the same in most breeds. I did find that depth of chest is still lacking in some dogs,but great to see the breed is not falling into what some breeds are doing which is breeding exaggeration in shoulders and rear, well done for sticking to the breed standard.

1^st Francis D Pearce G and Roberts D. Longsdales Rebel Rouser at Cwrtafon. BP and RCC. 7month black dog who has fantastic bone and construction. His head is a good wedge shape and to set it off has nice ears. He is square with great foot shape and good mouth. Although he stood alone in his class this dog has it all. Nice dense coat which shines. He should go on to do well. Presented lovely. His movement was true front and back. A pleasure to judge, thank you.
