Southern Counties SBT Society

I would like to thank the Southern Counties Staffordshire Bull Terrier Society for the invitation to judge their limit show. Huge thank you to my ring stewards who kept the ring running smoothly. This was a well-run show with outstanding prizes. Thank you to all who gave me an entry and giving me the opportunity to go over their dog/bitch and took my decisions with good sportsmanship. And a special thank you to Steve and Tina Dickenson for letting me stay with them and transporting me too and from the show.
