STAFFORDSHIRE BULL SOUTHERN COUNTIES 18 Judge(s): JACK COATS Firstly, I would just like to thank the SCCA for inviting me to judge at their show, it was a great honour, and I thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. I also have to thank my two ring stewards, Elaine and Ten Norton, who kept things running so smoothly throughout. Also everyone who entered their dogs and took the time to show under me, I can assure you I appreciated it very much. The atmosphere around the ringside was very good and the sporting manner in which my decisions were taken was a credit to the standard of exhibitors we 1 Rhodes & Pritchard's Taraiel Reaper At Teracota. Bk brindle and white, Very promising young lad. He has a good clean head, dark round eye, clean scissors bite. He has a good straight front, correctly laid shoulders with level topline. At this stage he has adequate strength of hindquarters, and he moved soundly coming and going. He has a very pleasing outline and although still only a bairn, he shows great promise for the future. 2 Hirst & Bibby's Taraiel Soulja Boy. Another very promising young lad, and indeed the litter brother of 1st. He has a good clean head with dark round well placed eyes, tidy ear carriage giving nice expression. Like his brother he has a good straight front and shoulder assembly, and good topline which he carried on his sound movement. These two pups are a credit to their owners/breeder from this well known kennel. 3 Funnell & Wiggins' Powerpack Kilgobnet. Res Marachowska & Marachowski Passernomen Blancus Omen 1 Johnson's Tillcarr Fire Coanda. Bk brindle dog of the utmost quality, who surely has a great future ahead of him. The overall picture is of a very sound and well put together specimen. Firstly he has a lovely well proportioned head good depth and width, and correct foreface to skull ratio. He has a strong underjaw, good scissors bite, nicely placed dark round eye and tidy rose ears, all combining to give a very good expression. He has a strong muscular neck flowing into well laid shoulders, straight front, correct depth of brisket, good spring of rib, strong developing hindquarters, correct bend of stifle, and he carried his level topline on movement that was both true and performed with economy of effort. This boy will surely be challenging for top honours in the not too distant future. BPD. 2 Calonge's Stormfire Lebron James.

He has a nicely proportioned clean head, good ear placement, good round eye, enough stop. clean foreface and good bite. he has a good square front with correct depth of brisket.
