The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club May Open Show Critique
Saturday 6th May 2023 Bitches first
Judge Claire Crossman ( Pendlestaff )
I would like to thank the club for their support, also my stewards Keith and Lewis who kept the ring running smoothly. I would like to thank all the exhibitor for allowing me to go over their dog’s. In my critique is based on the Breed Standard, there were a few dogs with mouth faults, but over all a good standard of dogs/Bitches.
