STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE SOUTHERN COUNTIES 10

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

My first time judging a ch show. I found the quality of exhibits to be generally high particularly in the higher classes which meant some good dogs going cardless. Some were carrying excess weight & lacked muscletone which reflected in my decisions. I also found a number with over large skulls & short muzzles which I consider spoils the typical Stafford expression.

MPD (1)

1 Wall & Webb’s Manark Predator, b/br of 8 months showing lots of promise, strong well shaped head with a dark round eye & good ear carriage, short coupled with a good spring of rib, level topline. Movement was difficult to assess.

PD (4)

1 Hyde’s Sedgbred Black Diamond, 9 months b/br who is developing well for age, nice shaped head, correct bite, well developed body with good muscle development for age, level topline, moved & handled well. BP;

2 M Predator;

3 Williams’ Gazannlou The Pretender at Bellajazz.

JD (7,1a)

1 Folwell & Morris’ Rowelstaff Mr Ferguson, red of very good type, nice shaped head with neatest of ears & dark eye, straight front with strong legs, nice level topline held on the move, well muscled hindquarters, shown in super condition, moved really well;

2 Essex’s Javawolf Mighty Mouse, white with brindle marking to the head, well proportioned, shown in excellent condition, lovely body with correct angulation & good spring of rib, moved really well. Not as good in head as 1;

1 Scarlett & Reid’s Ramblestaff Ebenezer Good, b/br standard size, strong head, straight front, good rib, moved & handled well;
