STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE SKC AUGUST 10

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

A pleasure to judge the SKC show. My thoughts overall, the bitch classes were superior to the dogs. There were ‘untidy’ mouths, poor toplines & where, oh where have the correct tailsets gone? But the greatest virtue is still temperament which, I’m glad to say, was as good as ever.
