SBTC CH Show 2015 – Bitch Judge: Colin Powell (Bowtmans)

 

As always it’s an honour and privilege to judge a breed club show. I’ve been very lucky to be invited to do this 80th anniversary show.
The last time I done a special here was the millennium show which also had an excellent entry. But today some how this show had the feeling of being a bit more special, the buzz in the hall when I arrived, the atmosphere thoughout the day, the cheers and applause after every class. It was like going back in time to when I first started, so in turn it gave me a lift when judging the show.
All I can put this down to is all the hard work and effort of the officers and committee throughout the year to get the Parent Club back to where it should be.
So to you all I would like to personally thank all of you for your effort and level of commitment to our club.
As usual my wife and myself were looked after all day and did not want for anything.
I would like to thank all my exhibitors for taking there placing sportingly and for there support to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club.
