German Shepherd Dogs

It was a great honour to be able to judge our breed at what is the greatest dog show in the world, I came hoping to see an improvement in the breed & was not disappointed. On the whole the quality was good, although of very mixed type, with few dogs from the extremes. Soundness has improved with only four dogs being totally unsound, there were some that needed to firm a little behind but that was down to exercise. Temperaments were good with only one exception. I was surprised at the condition of a few exhibits that had dirty teeth, coats & lacked general muscletone. Handling has improved in many areas with many dogs being allowed to gait freely & without exaggeration. My principal winners were of excellent type & quality, making for some very close decisions. I would like to thank all exhibitors for the sporting way in which my choices were received & making this day a memorable one.

Tronderjyckens Imre, over medium size, strong male of excellent quality & type, good proportions height to length, full dentition, good head & expression, good eye, correct ear placement, strong neck of good length into well laid shoulders & correct upper arm, good length of foreleg, strong pasterns & good feet, slightly narrower in front than desired, correct hindquarters with good width of thigh & strong hocks, good height at wither, strong topline into short but well moulded croup & tailset, correct depth of brisket & good underline, sound both ways with excellent side gait showing good reach & drive, holding topline on the move, in excellent coat & condition & well handled.
