STAFFORDSHIRE BULL SKC OCTOBER 22 Judge: Mr K Karlsson STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE SKC OCTOBER 22 I would like to thank The Scottish Kennel Club for the opportunity to judge their 200th anniversary show. After all the delays of the pandemic over the past few years, to finally fulfil this appointment is a high point of my judging career thus far. Thank you to my ring steward who was nothing short of amazing, he single-handedly control the ring and help me throughout the day. A very big thank you to each and every exhibitor who took the time and effort to enter under me, I really truly do appreciate it. Overall the calibre of dogs were very high with some outstanding exhibits in the premier classes going cardless. I found no real mouth issues, level top lines were bountiful, angulation front and rear were on the whole universally correct.
