The unseasonal weather had caused SKC major problems but they are to be congratulated on the way they managed to run an excellent show. I always prefer to judge outside, but this time I think we were all glad to be indoors in the good big ring which was provided. I was disappointed to see some weak pasterns and consequent flat feet and long nails. Dentition was good on the whole and there was only one dog with very light eyes. I awarded Best of Breed to the dog as I felt he best represented our breed in massive strength, or as our standard says strength for his size'. I very much enjoyed my task and although I know that only the winners are pleased, I hope you all felt it was a good day. MPD (3, 1) 1 Hart's Albermarbull Red Riot. Red and white, very smart confident puppy, right up on his toes, good square front, strong well boned legs, neat feet, level topline, nicely shaped head, good ear placement, dark eyes, neat mouth, tight lips, right size for his age. BP. 2 Creaney's Seabull Jolly Roger. Red and white, similar to first but I preferred the head of first, he was good on the move, kept his topline, neat all round, no weakness and no exaggerations. PD(4) 1 Butler's Torostaff Our Billy. 11 months b/brindle and white, at full height, good head shape, neat ears and mouth, strong muzzle, bodying up nicely, enough bone, good wide chest, straight legs, no weakness in pasterns, good tight feet and short nails, well pigmented. 2 Meek's Ladarna Sammy Boy. Black brindle, smaller than first but well balanced, finer bone, good muzze and dentition, tight lips, dark eyes, good square front, well padded feet, head coming on, just needs a bit more time. 3 Edgar &McGinily's Little Rocky Star. JD(4) 1 Nicholson's Rowansblac Luvley Jubbly For Ballindona. Smallish black brindle but well constructed and balanced, gleaming coat, nicely shaped head, neat scissor bite and tight lips, strong muzzle, good strong neck flowing into his shoulders and level topline, rib coming on, strong hindquarters, very promising. 2 Stanway's Waystaff Diggers Double. Red and white with black mask, taller than first, good neat teeth, well placed ears, nice dark eyes, cheeky expression, body coming on, right size and stage of development for his age. I expect he moves nicely when he is settled, but he was not very steady today, he had decided to mess about, but a very decent typey dog. 3 Henderson &Blair's Jolihem Wings Of Flame. YD(3, 1) 1 Milner's I Luv Staffies Limit Edition. Top size red and white, very clean outline, no exaggerations, good strong head, right length of muzzle with good bit teeth and tight lips, strong neck and well laid shoulders, level topline held on the move, feet need road work to get his nails down. 2 McGee's Scotstaff Highland Sky. Red and white, very similar to first but with smaller eyes, very well constructed and enough bone and substance, moved well, tidy feet. ND(3) 1 Nicholson's Rowansblac Luvly Jubbly For Ballindona. 2 Carmichael &McKay's Albermarbull Pied In The Sky. Well muscled top size pied, great head, strong neck and shoulders, good wide chest, strong hindquarters, movement good. 3 Ritchie's Neartmhor Im A Legend. PGD(8, 1) 1 Rollin's Seenworstaff Stand By Me. White pied with red head, took my eye as soon as he came in the ring, a very well muscled standard size dog with everything going for him, great head with correct proportions, strong muzzle and underjaw, neat teeth, well placed small ears and good cheek bumps, wide chest, good straight front, no weakness in pasterns, well off for rib and deep brisket, level topline, powerful hindquarters, good bend of stifle, covered the ground with ease on his well padded feet. I was pleased to award him DCC and BOB. I look forward to seeing him gaining his title. 2 Graham's Rellec Prince Buster. Black brindle, bit smaller than first but within the standard, good shaped head with nice little ears, correct length of muzzle, nice big teeth, tight lips, nice round dark eye, strong neck, level topline, plenty of bone but not cloddy, good on the move with neat feet. 3 Johnson's Tillcarr Fire Marshall. LD(10, 3) 1 Elrick's Canakey Mr Wonderful At Ruadonis. Attractive, well set up red and white standard size dog, he is well muscled with good head shape, strong muzzle with good big teeth, nicely laid shoulders and level topline which he holds on the move, powerful hindquarters with good bend of stifle and very nice whip tail. 2 Hart's Albermarlbull Ice White.

VD 1 Stephen's Ch Bourtie Prospect Of Glory. He is 9 years old and still looks great and he knows it. Stood alone but deserved his red card. MPB(4) 1 McPhail's Scorgue Stolen Kisses. Very nice black brindle youngster, right size for age, head coming on, teeth neat bite, tight lips, good straight front, enough bone, good coat, moved ok, well padded feet. 2 Hassan's Kimstaffs Hermione. Black brindle with white on chest, slightly taller than first but well within the standard, neat in all departments, time will improve her. 3 Zibolka's Blazenstaff's Impeccable.
