"Always an enjoyable breed to judge, they all have such great temperaments. All were well presented and generally movement is quite good, for such a big dog they are very light footed.

Today I thought the males had a better depth of quality. One undershot and one overshot bite, so watch this in breeding plans. A few problems with eyes, either slightly loose or showing signs of irritation. Front assemblies were of concern, very few with a well laid shoulder, sloping back and the blades not too far apart. Most had super substance without being overweight.

What a great day for the breed in the big ring, winning the adult and puppy groups and runner up in the veterans. Well done."
