STAFFORDSHIRE JUDGE RICHMOND 14

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

I would like to thank Richmond dog show society for my invitation to judge at their prestigious show. I have not mentioned mouths in my critique as all of my place winners had good mouths however there were a surprising number of poor mouths in the classes with a number of badly stained teeth as well, something I found quite surprising in a high status show. Happily I found a very few short briskets. Sometimes the movement was a little difficult to assess as the grass in the ring was rather long. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for allowing me the honour of going over their dogs & for their sporting attitudes to the results. Some of the classes were very close & difficult to decide & there can only be one winner in each class.
