STAFFORDSHIRE BULL BATH 15 Judge: Mr K P Brown (Denmark) BEST OF BREED : 1660 DAVIES Mr M & Mrs M Ch Eclypstaff Cuz I Can Staffordshire Bull Terriers I would like to thank the committee of Bath for the invitation to come & judge. The show was well run & the showground absolutely superb, with the benching in the tents close to the undercover rings which in turn extended to the outside rings & the grass in all rings & especially the BIS ring would do credit to any bowling green! I would like to thank the exhibitors for the entry & the sporting way they accepted my decisions. I unfortunately had to disqualify one dog, he had both lower canine teeth penetrating the roof of the mouth & for me this fault is so severe that I had to disqualify the dog. Finally I would like to thank Maureen & Terry Donovan, my two ring stewards who worked tirelessly throughout the day. MPD (4) 1 Illori Azizi, 8½ months b/br of good size & type, good head with well placed ears, correct bite. Good neck & shoulders, nice body & topline, correct tailset with well made hindquarters, moved well. BP; 2 Staffstyle Through Glass, 8 months, of good make & shape but was a little bigger & more on the leg. Needs time to mature. Moved steadily; 3 Illori Akinlana. PD (4,2a) 1 I Azizi; 2 I Akinlana, litter brother to 1. A dog who was very well made but for me he was up to size & because he still needs to mature he looked like a gangly youngster. A dog who needs time to mature to show off his many good qualities. Good mover. JD (4,1) 1 Taraiel Busta Rhymes, b/br who caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring. Excellent head shape & expression, dark round eye with good depth of stop & width of muzzle, strong underjaw, clean scissor bite, stood four square with straight front & good depth of chest. He was short coupled with a level topline running to well defined hindquarters & good tailset. Shown in excellent condition & moved well.
