The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club
Members Limit Show – 04.02.2017
I was lucky enough to be asked to judge this show as my first Breed Club Appointment. On the whole a fantastic entry and would like to thank all my exhibitors for allowing me to assess their dogs. There were some fantastic examples of the breed and I was extremely happy with my main winners. I would like to Thank the Officers and Committee in assisting with a well run show as always and the atmosphere around the ring was second to none. Thanks to Joan Gadd for a beautiful lunch and exceptional Bakewell tart!, and of course to my stewards a big Thank You for keeping the ring flowing. On the whole the exhibits were presented Well, Although I was a little disappointed to see some long nails and a few dirty teeth, Please bear in mind when presenting your exhibits, it may make a difference in placings.

1-Manark Fast N Furious
Tiger Brindle boy which I have Judged previously and who has come on in bundles. He doesn’t disappoint in any way, a beautiful boy fitting the breed standard. Well balanced, stands four square, for me an ideal headpiece with correct and neat ears, perfect scissor bite with lovely big white teeth, straight front with plenty of brisket close coupled and well muscled backend completed the picture, he moved like a dream holding his topline. This boy in my opinion is so overlooked I had no problem awarding him Best Dog & Reserve Best In Show.

Rubericla Little Elita One
I have competed against this lady in the ring and admired her, but boy until you get your hands on her she definitely didn’t disappoint. Beautiful, chiselled head shape, with good stop, piercing dark eyes and offset by nice rose ears complete the picture. She has a strong muzzle housing correct dentition, this Lady in my opinion just oozes quality. Her body shape is spot on with correct angulation which enabled her to move well holding her topline. Shown in shining condition and has such a rapport with her handler I was pleased to award Reserve Best bitch and I am sure she will gain top honours in the future.
