My thanks also extend to the exhibitors who entered and brought their dogs to be assessed by me and accepted my decisions in the sporting manner our breed enthusiasts are known for. You are a credit to your fellow exhibitors. On the day I examined many top quality dogs and bitches and in some classes, as is often said, there were truly not enough place cards to give out. On the whole, I found mouths to be good with no inverted canines; I saw a few untidy incisors but nothing which detracted from a complete scissor bite. Overall the quality was very good and the bitches in particular portrayed a good blend of bull and terrier. Bitches are key to a good healthy breeding programme and in my opinion the future is looking good from the bitches I examined. Overall fitness and presentation was good with just a few who could have brought their charges with a clean coat. Movement generally was good. MINOR PUPPY DOG (3,0) 1st Boath' s LUTHAIS BORN TO REIGN B/Br Young standard sized dog not overdone who was very well balanced overall. Good sort. Nice head with good shape and definition, enough strength for his tender age. Dark eye. Good expression. Correct bite. Clean straight front with enough bone. Level topline. Clean lines throughout. He has lots to come as he matures. Moved out well once settled; his movement was clean fore and aft. 2nd Finney' s BALLINDONA CRAFT COPPER Br Powerful compact youngster with strong head and good proportions. Ample bone and strength throughout. Correct bite. Pleasing expression. Good topline. Good bend of stifle and rear quarters. Close decision but just preferred the movement of 1st 3rd Coffey' s ABORIGINAL DARK STORM PUPPY DOG (6,0) 1st Jack' s SIKAISTAFF THE BEAST B/Br dog who is of good size.

He must have a bright future and I? m sure he will go on to do very well. Handled and presented well. Moved cleanly and with drive. I was very pleased to award him BEST PUPPY DOG AND BEST PUPPY IN BREED. Well done. 2nd Davies' BRAUNSTAFF FROM HASBURY Brindle of quality and good form and size. Liked his overall appearance.

My thanks are extended to the Society for the invitation and the hospitality, and to my ring stewards who helped the ring management to run smoothly. My thanks also extend to the exhibitors who entered and brought their dogs to be assessed by me and accepted my decisions in the sporting manner our breed enthusiasts are known for. You are a credit to your fellow exhibitors. On the day I examined many top quality dogs and bitches and in some classes, as is often said, there were truly not enough place cards to give out. On the whole, I found mouths to be good with no inverted canines; I saw a few untidy incisors but nothing which detracted from a complete scissor bite. Overall the quality was very good and the bitches in particular portrayed a good blend of bull and terrier. Bitches are key to a good healthy breeding programme and in my opinion the future is looking good from the bitches I examined. Overall fitness and presentation was good with just a few who could have brought their charges with a clean coat. Movement generally was good.

Upon close examination he oozes overall quality and excels in typical breed characteristics. He took my eye as he entered the ring as his presence could not be denied. Beautiful correct head of strength but not exaggeration; good proportions, distinct stop, clean defined muzzle and well pronounced cheek muscles. Clean lipped, strong in underjaw, correct scissor bite. Small ears which he used well. Good amount of bone, but again not overdone. Broad chest with good depth of brisket and spring of rib. Short muscular neck into good shoulder and strong level topline. Excellent muscular definition throughout and in fit hard condition. Lovely balance about this dog. Close coupled. Tucked up well into well covered strong defined loins. Powerful rear and firm well developed inner and outer thigh. Gleaming coat condition. Once settled, when he moved he did so with drive and purpose with parallel positive action. Carried his tail slightly high but this for me did not detract from the entire package this dog had to offer. He is a credit to the breed, the breeders and the owners. Ticked all the boxes for me. I was extremely pleased and didn? t hesitate to award him top honours today with CC which I understand is his third making him a Champion (subject to KC confirmation) and a well deserved done at that.

2nd Beeby & Watson' s GEORDIESTAFF DYNAMO DEXTER JW b/br Typical breed characteristics in this dog with balanced strength of head. Distinct stop. Clean strong underjaw. Neat ears. Correct clean scissor bite. Straight front and good bone. Ample depth of rib and brisket. Good outline showing level topline and clean tuck up into strong loins. Balanced appearance with pleasing outlines. Well muscled throughout. Handled well. Presented in top condition. Strong contender and his overall quality carried him high in the cards in this super class.
