I was delighted with this excellent entry with this lovely old breed. Favourite of mine. Types have changed for the better, still we have a few sizes with us! I note presentation was very good, dentition needs watching on a couple of exhibits. Quality was much higher than in the past as well as movement too. So I feel your on track. Sincere thanks to all.
