The weather was kind to us and I thoroughly enjoyed my day judging what I considered to be an overall quality entry. The breed has improved so much since I first judged them twenty years ago, and credit for this must go to the dedicated breeders. It is not easy to breed a small dog that is elegant and yet retains the substance and stamina of a dog that has the ability to do a days work. With more specific breed requirements than most it gives the ETT breeder quite a challenge. I feel some breed points are in danger of being lost, some ears were too big, and a few tails were too long and not “thick at the base and tapering to a point”. Most were displaying happy and fearless temperaments.
