STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE BATH 17

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Thank you for affording me your precious time to assess your stock & give my opinion based upon the KC guidelines & my interpretation of it.

Overall quality was super, there were however a couple of specimens with high toes which is a pet hate of mine. Mouths were good so too coats.

MPD (4)

1 Jenkins’ Slatady Above The Clouds, a pleasing youngster with plenty of bone. The head is coming & he has a nice ear carriage. His expression is keen & his eye dark. He has correct dentition & a correct length of neck. He is made well in the front & rear & moved OK for a young dog;

2 Stanway’s Waystaff Strike Force, a red dog with quality. Correct head with correct ear & dark eye. Correct dentition & made well in the forequarters. Correct angulation in rear. Moved OK, I preferred the bone & substance of the class winner;

3 Moureu-Larrang’s Magic Charmer Du Clan’ Molotov.

PD (9,2a)

1 Shipp & Hammond’s Hammystaff Hanky Panky with Idyllicstaff, this young red dog with black mask is a stunner. He has a head shape that will finish nicely with well placed ears & dark round eyes. His expression is keen & very pleasing. He has ample bone & is made well in all departments. His dentition is big & correctly set with good width & depth to his underjaw his flews are correct & clean. He has a correct lay of shoulder & is the correct length in body. He is well for rib on such a young specimen. His rear is strong with a good bend of stifle & his tailset correct. He moved well for a young one on such a hot day. This boy & his handler work well together & it shows in his attitude in the ring, total trust in her!

2 Stanway’s Little Earthquakes Power Strike at Waystaff, a brindle dog with quality throughout. Correct head with correct ear & dark eye. Correct dentition & made well in all departments. Moved OK;

3 Arntzen & Kerry’s Catstaffs Firefly.

JD (9,1)

1 Breckell’s Chiswelstaff Lets Dance, a dog that stood out in his class as soon as they walked in. A chiselled head, dark eye & neat ear, he has correct dentition, he demanded you look at him. Straight front depth width & bone. He has a level topline & moved with drive. If only there were more than 2 top prizes!

2 Marshallsay’s Fergustaff Jack Frost, a standard r/f dog with great attribute. Today unlucky to meet the class winner. He has a correct head with the right amount of muzzle & correct scissor bite. He has deep dark eyes. His expression is that of keenness & he is made well throughout. Moved well for his handler;

3 Weiss’ Out Of The Dark Great ‘N Glory.

ND (6)

1 H Hanky Panky with I;

2 Guillat’s Little Polar Froce Blackbull Diamond, a nice r/w dog with a cracking expression. Correct ear & eye, correct dentition, straight front & strong pasterns with correct feet. The neck is strong & of a correct length. His shoulder is well laid back & rib is plenty. He is made well in the rear & this showed in his movement;

3 Harrison & Roper’s Trawden Ice Rebel.

PGD (14,2)

1 Lewis’ Biggleswick Splash Of Ginge, a standard red dog with bone, substance & breed type. He has a keen expression because of his well set ear & dark eye housed in that black mask. His dentition is correct & lips clean. He is deep straight & wide in the front as should be. His forequarters & rearquarters make up an all round pleasing specimen. His movement was effortless & with drive & he pushed hard for top honours;

2 Rees’ Edgeworth Arturo, a powerful headed dog with plenty of substance. Correct ear & eye with correct dentition. He is wide & deep in the brisket & correct in the front. He is short through & strong in the rear. His movement was with drive from the rear;

3 Turner’s Quatros Iron Clad Buddy.

LD (18,2)

1 Moureu-Larrang’s Lord Largo Pineapple Du Clan’ Molotov, this red dog turned my head as soon as he walked in the ring. A flashy white front & black mask, a keen expression, neat correctly placed ear, darkest of eyes, correct length of muzzle housing correct dentition, clean & big. Straight front, correct turn of foot & well padded too. Well for rib & short coupled, well bent stifle & strong rearquarters. He moved with drive & carried his topline well. Another that for me won’t be far off top honours;

2 Heron’s Manark Fast N Furious, a brindle dog of type. Correct shape head & correct ear. His eye could be darker but correct for the coat colour. His teeth are correct & big. He is good for bone & substance & well ribbed. He has a well made rear & moved well;

3 Mayren’s Bellarouge Adonis at Fergiestaffs.

OD (12,1)

1 Houghton’s Ch Belterstaffs Ginger Joe, wow what a specimen of a dog! This is my ideal of a Stafford. Great strength for size, hard as a rock & on the tiptoe of expectation at all times. He is balanced & he oozes breed type. He has a masculine strong skull with a deep stop & well pronounced cheek muscles. He has well placed small rose ears & the darkest round eye, giving that keen expression we try so hard to breed. His foreface is enough & he has a good fill under the eye. He has a wide & deep underjaw housing a perfect set of big white clean teeth. His neck is strong, his front is straight & well angulated through the shoulder. He has a correct depth of brisket & a rib well sprung of the correct shape & size. His length & height are correct giving a balance to him that few achieve. He has correct feet with strong pasterns & short nails. His rearquarters are strong & well muscled. He has a pump handle like tail that is carried correctly not high, & this dog moves, parallel when viewed from front or rear, straight in the topline, not dipped nor arched, drive, power, free motion all as you would expect from a top class dog on the move. My CC & BOB & then went on to win the Terrier Group. Then won the CC & BIS at the adjoining show. What a super dog!

2 Weiss’ Hulk Hogan Great ‘N Glory, this brindle boy I have watched with great anticipation. He is strong & all Stafford. His head shape is powerful through & he has a defined stop, pronounced cheek muscles & correct dentition. His neck is strong & correctly arched, his front straight & true. His feet are well turned out & of the correct virtue. His rib is plenty, his body the correct length & he is made well in the rear. His movement was good with drive & parallel when viewed from the rear. He pushed close but lost out on overall condition, he was just not quite... RCC;

3 Hedges & McBride’s Brohez Rubin Hurricane.
