STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE DRIFFIELD 15

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

I would like to thank Driffield Agricultural Society for inviting me to judge a well run show. Shame about the cold weather but this didn’t dishearten the spirits inside or outside the ring. The overall quality of the dogs entered was good & I wasn’t disappointed.

MPD (2)

1 McClelland’s Rochlawie Behold The Hour, an 8½ months b/br/w baby that won his class on his maturity. Promising head with a dark eye, good dentition. Correct shoulder placement with a good boned front. Carrying enough brisket & rib. Clean outline with his hindquarters developing nicely moved well for a youngster;

2 Hirst & Bibby’s Taraiel Darth Vader, an 6½ months b/br, this youngster has a clean shaped head with good expression, correct eye & ear carriage. Mouth OK. Sound front & clean top line, bodying nicely for his age. Moved well both ways.
