I would like to thank the committee for the kind invitation to judge at their club show, also to my efficient stewards Tony and Mike for all their help. A big thank you to all those exhibitors who entered under me and stayed for the second show. It’s been a little over 4 years since I last judge and the breed has changed since then. We seem to be losing breed type, with heads and eyes getting smaller, no width throughout with single tracking behind. We also have a variety of sizes at present which isn’t good for the breed as a whole. Mouths have improved on a whole but the standard calls for width of jaw not how straight the teeth are. Noses are also getting longer in this comes the change of expression and lack of arrogance the breed calls for. As breeders we need to keep the attributes this breed is known for as there will be a point where the breed will change forever, with no turning back. Selecting the correct dog or bitch is not always easy but we still have some excellent types at present. |
