David Coode: Last time I judged this breed I commented on the variance in size and the lack of muscle tone in, unfortunately this is still very much in evidence. / Alisa Macleod: Thank you to the exhibitors that entered today on my first Toller judging appointment. In my 16 year involvement with the breed I still find a great diversification of type. Angulation is variable, obviously affecting the dogs ability to extend fully on the move, and drive well from behind
