I would like to thank the exhibitors for the preparation & condition of the exhibits that came under me. All were in firm condition with clean teeth, shinny coats & short nails.Temperaments were on the whole very good. I found a number of examples with short keels, short upper arms and  loose elbows. I would have also liked to have seen more length coming from the ribbing rather than the loin. This coupled with a lack of clearance of ground lead to otherwise quality exhibits appearing to be overly long, as defined by the standard. A deciding factor in some of my decisions.
