Many exhibits looked good on the table but seemed to fall apart on the move. I judged the breed two years ago, unfortunately, the same faults seem to be very prevalent. Short upper arms and poor shoulder placement, poor feet and long nails. I found no bad mouths and teeth were clean. Some coats needed attention and looked so sparse. I saw many tummy tapping and lack of drive and no muscletone. I wonder how many have a good walk daily, after all they are hounds. I know mine like a walk every day whatever the weather, and are free to catch the odd rabbit, squirrel and pigeon and whatever they can catch and get their teeth into (yes, they do get fed). I am sure some dogs were a bit over the 11lbs. I would rather place a dog a few ounces over if that was the best exhibit in the class. And lastly, thanks to my two efficient stewards.
