square outline, dead-on movement coming and going, good (and improved) lateral movement, good coat and color, showed well.

Best of Opposite Sex was very competitive: the winner was very balanced, very square in outline. Showed very well, moved nicely. Good coat and color.

Best of Winners and Winners Bitch: a very nice younger bitch. Again, well-balanced and proportioned. Age appropriate color and coat. Nice body under coat. Moved well (did get tired towards end of breed judging—she had had a long day!)

Winners Dog: well-balanced dog, nice moderate body under coat. Moved well. Coat and color good. Not the most animated dog at times, but used ears well enough.

Awards of merit: very competitive with the breed and best of opposite winners—very nice breed representatives.

Again, I would like to thank the club for their invitation, and their hard work to put on a wonderful specialty. Good luck to exhibitors in the future, and thank you for making my judging assignment most pleasurable.
