General Comments

Thank you exhibitors for such a super entry and turning out on such a dreadful day, I really enjoyed the honour of judging the ESSC Championship Show and was so delighted by the quality of the majority of exhibits. I feel that the breed has really improved in the last decade and all credit must go to the dedicated breeders that have become custodians of this lovely breed. Gone are the upright shoulders with no upper arm, amber eyes and very tall dogs, suspect teeth could be counted on one hand, size and movement has improved greatly. To be able to chose from so many good exhibits rather than looking for the least faults was a joy in the majority of classes. If I have to be critical, and this is a critique, one thing that I think still does need some work is feet; perhaps the floor did not help exhibits but some feet did seem rather large and too spread - Jan Wood (Judge)
