It
is with a lot of pleasure that I accepted the invitation to judge your
clubmatch and your selection on 2002. I
want to thank the
organizers who made a beautiful work as well as all the present
exhibitors who knew how to make these shows, a success. The
reception was very friendly and the atmosphere among exhibitors seemed
to me very relaxed and friendly. Thanks to Alena Bendova who assured
the translation and was my steward during my stay. I
had the enjoyment to see several very beautiful subjects. In
great majority, your dogs have strong qualities such as bones,
beautiful round chest, good wide heads with a good type and expression,
beautiful constructions, good movements. Coat quality is mainly
correct . There
are however points on which you should remain watchful: -
The sizes, take care to oversize, even if few. -
The tail carriage , a little bit high on the
move. -
The hook tail is lacking on many dogs -
The colour of eyes, they often could be a little
darker . I
appreciated also the handling of the dogs which made their assessments
easier as well as their temperaments. Most of them had a good balance
sociability / activity and in excellent condition. Continue
this way. Some
of your dogs honour the breed and would be able of winning the top
honours on the rings of French shows.

tragicaly died during her vacation in Croatia just a month after the show...
