STAFFORDSHIRE BULL CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 22 Judge: Mrs M Southall Judge M Southall (Beckash) I would like to Thank the officers and committee for giving me the opportunity to Judge at their show. Thankyou to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to assess your dogs and taking my awards in good sport. Thank you to my stewards who helped make the day go smoothly. Overall the quality of the dogs has improved however there are a couple of observations that I found. Firstly there appears to be creeping into our breed light eyed exhibits, our breed standard stipulates Dark preferred but may bear some relation to coat colour. Fitness of the exhibits could have been better, again with fitness comes strength and muscles, also in our breed standard. I only found a couple of exhibits with tight canines, but hopefully this will not become a norm. This being said I was pleased with my main winners who all placed TG2 Well done to you. SBD 0 VD 3-0 1 Mr & Mrs C+J Lewis --- CH Biggleswick Splash of Ginge Standard sized red dog in stunning condition for his age. Great front and width between forelegs, depth to the brisket, muscled shoulders without being overdone. His head is very nice, well defined stop without exaggeration, dark eye and correct bite, with neat little ears. Well sprung rib cage which led to well muscled rear end and well let down hocks. Moved with ease and was pleased to place best veteran and VTG2. 2 Mr &Mrs A&L Mayren---CH Bellarouge Adonis at Fergiestaffs JW Standard red and white pied dog again in excellent condition. Nice shaped head. Dark round eye, good cheeks, and good stop. Mouth correct. He has enough bone to balance, good width to his front, and a good sized rib cage. Showed and handled well. On another day 1st and second could have been reversed Just preferred movement of 1 on the day. 3 Miss & Mr G &D Rowe & South---Illori Akinlana JW SH CM VW MPD 4-2 Miss S Stevens--- Ronjac Rob Roy Mcgregor 1 Black Brindle with a nice head piece and rose ears. Well defined cheek muscles and correct dentition. Nice shape of eye. Adequate chest for age. Well laid shoulders leading to a good spring of rib. Level top line, which led to well muscled on the rear, ok for bone, moved well back and forth. Still very much a puppy but a lot to like. 2 Miss H Grant---Shamara Protego Diabolica Brindle dog at 6.5 months. Still very much a baby and has lots of time for growing. Finer than no 1, head in proportion to body with rose ears slightly elevated but this is probably due to teething and will settle when they are through. Nicely balanced puppy, correct size, make and shape, not so forward as first for maturity, correct angles back and forth, a little difficult to assess on the move. PD 4-1 1 Mrs K and Miss J Wilson---Northstaff Nightmare Black with White. Very typical of the breed type that I like. Pleasing head shape. Great expression and pigmentation, correct ears and dark eyes, correct bite with large teeth, well sprung rib, and the straightest of top lines, enough rear angulation to give the drive from the rear, balanced for his age. In first class condition and handled very well. BPD BPIB and TPG2 2 Mr L Sharman---Callastaff Sharmz Boy Black Brindle. Another Puppy that I really liked The apple doesn't fall far from the tree with both dam and sire of this boy being champions you can certainly see the qualities from both. Typical breed type and quality through out. On another day results may have been different, preferred outline of 1 but not much in it. Pleasing outlines with a lovely expression and rose ears. Fore chest well defined. Well sprung rib, short in coupling and well defined muscle on the rear end. Front and rear angulations correct, which gave him the power to drive fore and aft. I am looking forward to watching both 1+2 mature. 3 Mrs G Beckwith---Ginstean Good Luck Charm JD 7-0 1 Mr & Mrs PT & EA Stanway--- Waystaff Stikes Mayhem AI Red and white pied. Standard well conditioned dog. Lovely head of correct proportions Good front of correct width and showing through the angles on the fore to good feet, correct top line, stifle well let down and solid rear. He moved well once settled. Just pipped for the best junior. 2 Ms R M Stewart Mr S Dickenson Mrs T Dickinson Miss A Dickinson Aymstaff Ballade Dream Black Brindle with white on chest.
