03. A very nice young promising dog of this age.  A good square body, nice head and width of muzzle, nice solid substance.  Hocks in a little bit at the moment but presume that's because of his age and he'll get rid of that later, but a very nice young promising dog.

04. Good head, muzzle a little long at this age, but this will take effect when the head grows in to it.   High in the rear end once again due to age. Feet could be tighter. When he moves away he is close in at hocks.

05. Muzzle’s a little too short, nice cubed head though, nice square body. Doesn't move very well.  Better feet than no. 4.

06. Good head, typical of the breed.  Nice wide flat muzzle; could be a little wider but that will come with age.  Nice neck, good shoulder, front feet a little east west. Bit long in the loin, little high in the rear. Moves away very nicely - has good bullmastiff drive.  Will be a nice dog when he grows up.

07. Good head but the muzzle lacks a lot.  It's very narrow, triangular shaped which really doesn't give benefit to the head of the dog.  Straight in front shoulders, straight in the rear, but the dog itself is square. This dog also moves away very close at the rear.

14. Good example of breed type, good head, lesser bite, all undershot. Good front, good shoulder.  A little long in the loin.  Moves very nicely, though not quite as nice as dog no. 11.

13. Straight in shoulder, square dog, straight in stifle.  Lacks pigmentation in the nails.  Muzzle is abbreviated, triangular muzzle, light eyes.

15. Good solid breed type, good bone and substance. Correct head and muzzle, ears a little large and tips rounded. Correct shoulder with good prosternum and brisket. Little long in the flank and slightly high in the rear but good second thigh development. Moves well from side, a little close going away, better coming. Feet a little loose, front feet turning out a little. Nice dog. Gives impression that he owns what he stands on.

21. Good example of breed type. Excellent head, ear size, good muzzle, wide flared nostrils, Eyes = correct type of eyes, not too much flew, could do with a little bit more angulation in the shoulder, but otherwise not too bad.  Good front feet, nice level topline, good square dog, neccessary angulation in the rear.  Good pasterns, nice high set on his tail.

20. A good breed type, excellent head; muzzle is a little pinched under the eyes which gives a triangular formation of the muzzle at the front.  Good open nostrils.  Excellent lay of shoulder, feet not too good.  Little long in the loin, little heavy, good angulation in the rear, moves pretty well, good suspension but not as good as the previous dog no 21.

24. Good head but muzzle a little triangular and flat in the front, little high in the rear, little straight in the shoulder.  Moves pretty well.

25. Has a lot of growing to do.  The head and muzzle are arguing with each other and her front’s a little straight but good feet, good pasterns, nice and square.  Good angulation at the rear.  Won't move properly just yet.

29. Needs a lot of growing up yet.  Muzzle is quite short in proportion to the head, which is a good head, abbreviated mask.  The neck is a little straight.  Good shoulder, but needs a lot more substance and bone.  Tail's a little short.  Moves rather sloppy from the rear.

37. Very nice breed type.  Good head but muzzle is a little pointed.  Good flare of nostrils, but needs more filling under the eyes.  Because of the lack of fill in there is too much wrinkle.  Good head, good shoulders, nice topline, moves very nicely, but not as good as 38.

42. A nice brindle but a little immature in both substance and bone.  Good head, muzzle is a little shallow, good nostril, needs a little breadth to the muzzle. Feet at the front need improvement and needs more brisket and substance.

45. Nice red dog, good eyes, narrow in the head, narrow in the muzzle - too much flew.  Angle of shoulder is not too bad.  Tends to crab when moving.  Good pigmentation, good topline, little straight in the rear but nice feet all round.

The general overall quality was better than I had been told by hearsay.  Excellent craniums, muzzles generally good - broad shape, not pointed or triangular - a little abbreviated in some cases leaving need for fill-in under eyes, resulting in too much wrinkle. Pleased to see good neck lengths, and good substance.

General top lines good, some high rears, but no swaybacks. Fronts and brisket good; as was side movement. Coming and going some dogs a little close. Disappointed with feet. Many splayed, east-west, and quite a few with twisted toes - mainly front - couldn't chase the poacher! Several dogs with rounds eyes, tail carriages were good, some tails a little short. All round good exhibition of dogs.
