STAFFORDSHIRE BULL EAST F ENGLAND 18 Judge(s): MR NICK HALE Firstly, I'd just like to thank the officers and committee of East of England for my first opportunity to give CCs in our beloved breed. Secondly, to all exhibitors for their sporting demeanour and for allowing me to judge their charges on what was another scorcher of a day. 1 Rhodes & Pritchard's Taraiel Reaper at Teracota. 8 month old bl/br with white, compact, standard Stafford puppy whom is already showing strength of virtue. Good head shape, mouth, eyes and ears all as should be. Well boned front, compact body and solid rear assembly. Moved and handled well for a youngster, one who will I'm sure go on to greater successes. BPD. 2 Hirst & Bibby's Taraiel soulja Boy. Bl/br also of 8 months and indeed the litter brother of winner. Much the same values as his sibling, perhaps not quite the same level of maturity, but nonetheless another tidy young puppy. 3 Frankland's Aldwych Rockstar. 1 Pocknell's Ashstock Highland Warrior at Blunoosa. Upstanding 12 month old red dog, typical unexaggerated Stafford head with good length of skull. Good bite, neat ears & dark eyes. Straight, nicely boned front, showing daylight under him. Good top line and underline, well angulated rear assembly which balances to front allowing flowing movement. Another promising young male. 2 Calonge's Stormfire Lebron James. 10 month old deep red with white chest of standard proportions. Strong head, good bite, eyes and ears.

Nice width of pelvis to provide balance with front, and well angulated, well muscled rear assembly, moved out well once he gets in sync with his owner, a real team these two are and a joy to behold in a competitive environment.
