I was delighted to be able to judge at Manchester, and with such a splendid entry too! Thanks to everyone who entered under me.
Overall quality was very good, especially in the bitches, and I was pleased to see a lot fewer exhibits with overlong muzzles, light eyes, fluffy or stand-off coats and lack of muscle tone than when I last judged at this level . Movement on the whole was good, and presentation, with very few exceptions, excellent.
