Dog Critique
I would like to say it is an honour and a privilege to judge any breed club show but being the parent club it will always be a special one to judge for me As usual my wife and myself were made more than welcome on arrival and looked after very well throughout the day. It is always nice to have stewards who you know and have served with on committee for a long time in the ring with you. It makes your judging a lot easier with a smooth running show, so thank you Steve and Geoff for your help on the day.
My Limit and Open classes were full of exhibits of outstanding quality and type and unfortunately a lot had to be unplaced and go cardless on the day. The atmosphere around the ring seemed to be a pleasant one from what I saw of it.
I had a little smile to myself over one exhibitor and looking back on reflection a similar thing happened a few years ago, when a complete novice was talking to me about how many classes he had entered in. I told him you will have a long day or do very well, on this occasion I am pleased to say it was the latter of the two.
My dog CC and B.I.S. on the referee’s decision was IR CH Jagstaff the Advocate, Res CC was Ch Stormbull Solo JW, and my BP & B.P.I.S on joint decision with my co judge, whom I have known and respected for many years, was Bellerphon Bevin Boy.
I would like to thank all the exhibitors for their entries and taking my decisions sportingly and wish the officers, committee and the club every success in the future.
M/P/D/ (8,1a)
1st Russell, RUFFSTAFF CLYDES PRIDE, (B/B/W.) A smart eye catching puppy that won his class with ease and some to spare, reminded me of my own as a youngster, pleasing head shape, short and square with ample bone for his age, good pigmentation, moved well,
2nd Stone, ASHBULL O’SHEA (B/B.). Another youngster with ample bone and substance for its age, dark eye and good bite, but not the movement of my first placing.
3rd Wakeman, WAKESTAFF THAI CYCLONE. (R).
P/D (20,3a)
A really nice class of exhibits of which some good dogs went card less
1st Coats & Greenwood, BELLERPHON BEVIN BOY, (B/B).
A well balanced dog of quality and type, pleasing head shape, correct ears and dark eyes, good front and feet, kept a good top-line on the move, well muscled for his age, B/P & B.P.I.S well done.
2nd Hale & Kemp, MAXSTA CAYMAN KING AT CAYMANSTAFF, (B/B/W).
A dog that looks good from all angles, short square and compact, handler gets the best from this dog, another puppy with a bright future.
3rd Trow, BRIZEACKS FIRE IN THE HOLE, (B/B). Held is own in a strong class.
J/D (18)
1st O’Donnell, VALGLO VOO DOO, (B/B). A very clean cut dog in good condition, hard and fit, good head strong deep through with correct bite, a good blend of bull and terrier, one with a promising future.
2nd Alden-Smith, SMYLINATYA AUDACIOUS BOY (M Brindle) This dog was not the easiest to assess but quality will still shine through whether the handler or dog be novices, in this case both, good breed type, great head and expression with good pigmentation, straight front with good padded feet, kept a good top-line on the move once he settled down, the handler was easy to assess (Persistent) with some ringcraft handler and dog should have some memorable days at the shows. Wish you all the best for the future.
3rd Hale & Kemp, MAXSTA CAYMAN KING AT CAYMANSTAFF, (B/B/W).
Y/D (17,3a)

N/D (8,3a)
1st Alden-Smith, SMYLINATYA AUDACIOUS BOY (M Brindle)

L/D. (28,1a)
What a fantastic class with a lot of great dogs that had to go cardless.
1st Willis, CROSSGUNS GRADUATE AT CROSS-SWORDS, (Prod W). Striking dog that you keep going back to, got to put your hands on him to find out what’s under the coat, strong head deep through with correct bite, great pigmentation, the very best of fronts with tight feet, well off for rib and bone, good top-line, good turn of stifle. If ever a dog gave me a headache it was this one, the only thing that stopped me from giving him top honours was condition, needs to get him harder to compete at this end of the scale. (Great Dog).
2nd Cockayne, CHINASTAFF COLLATTERAL DAMAGE, (Bri). Another striking dog with the best of heads, cracking expression, good ear and eye placement muscular neck and body, level top-line and good tail set moved well.
3rd Asker, COLLIERMANS LIONHEART AT DAZMARNIC, (R).
O/D. (19,2a)
Not often you get 10 Champions entered in open classes these days this class was overflowing with quality and breed type.
1st Ridley, IR CH JAGSTAFF THE ADVOCATE, (R/W). The last time I judged this dog he went on to win the terrier group and 3rd B.I.S. at a general champ show. Right up my street a compact short well balance dog with plenty of substance, a real blend of bull and terrier, good pigmentation, hard and fit, a pleasure to award him his second CC and see him go on to B.I.S.
2nd Mace & Davis, CH STORMBULL SOLO JW. (B/B). A dog that I have looked at many times from the ring side and was pleased to be able to judge him today, looked and felt as good as I thought and was not disappointed at the result after assessing him, a worthy champion in is own right, one of the best coat conditions on the day, Res CC.
3rd Harkin, CH HARKLINE ROBBIE THE BRUCE JW, (B/B).
V/D (1)
1st Siddle, SPARSTAFF OLD SMOOTHIE (B/B). 9 years old and in good condition, nothing wrong with is eyes as he scooped up a biscuit off the mat on his way down, still has that mischievous look in his eyes, lovely to see the old fellow enjoying himself on his day out.
