Crufts 16 Judge

ENGLISH BULL CRUFTS 16 Bull Terrier Judge(s): MR D McGREGOR Bull Terriers I would like to thank The Kennel Club for giving me the opportunity to judge at Crufts & for what must be the pinnacle of every judge’s career. Thank you to my stewards for their cheerfulness & efficiency in what must have been a long day for them & thank you to the exhibitors for their good sportsmanship. I was pleased to see that almost all the mouths were good, with only a handful with slight mouth faults & incorrect bites, I think this looks very promising for the breed in the future. I was pleased with the overall quality of the dogs with each & every exhibit worthy of being at Crufts. It was a day I will never forget. VD (0).
