It was a pleasure to judge at this friendly club show in their new venue. Whilst all exhibits were showin in good condition, there were a few who needed attention to their nails. Long nails not only spoil the shape of the foot but they are also uncomfortable for the dog so please pay attention to this. As always, I was looking for a sound, balanced hound with muscular power but still retaining elegance.
