Amazing, not any one of them has outstanding withers nor correct lay of croup nor correct rear angulation.

Two do not have very good long front upper arm, two do not have very good long croup, more than a few have domed or slightly domed fore heads, one of them has his head planes out of balance, many have arched backs, some have soft pasterns, one has too deep chest & few have loose lips !!!

Is that disappointing or what ?
