The Southern Counties Staffordshire Bull Terrier Society held their Summer Open Show at the new venue to them of Navestock Village Hall; 

A very good hall, car park, toilets, hot water even and adequate kitchen facilities. 

The appointed Judge was the popular Caroline Dewar who was very unlucky to have a fall the previous weekend sustaining two bad breaks to her ankle making it impossible for her to fulfil this appointment. 

I am sure all her friends in the breed will join me in wishing her a speedy recovery. She bravely was wheeled into the hall, staying to see most of the show. I was the lucky one asked to judge in Caroline's stead, rather than next years October show for which I had been elected to judge. 

I enjoy judging Club shows in all terrier breeds more than most so it was with great pleasure I had a full day with the Stafford's; 

My thanks to all the Committee, helpers and stewards for their support. 

Over many years the fitness, condition and handling has improved to a high standard. 

I am disappointed that there are still too many dogs without depth of brisket, presenting a new (?) breed of flat ribbed dogs with more width than depth.   

DOGS

VETERAN DOG

1ST - "Dazzling White Lad by Gularrens". A very good start to the day with this 9 year old youngster in top nick, looking a picture. Great outline, standing and moving. Knows his work and at one with the handler. Went BVD & RBD.

MINOR PUPPY DOG

1ST - "Manark Predator". Just over 8 months with a promising future ahead. Lovely fit condition, well formed, muscled head, enough neck, good body form, feet, front, back end. Moving well towards and in profile. BPD & BPIS

2ND - "Dazmarnic Boom Boom Boom". At 7 months had to give best to older dog, which in puppies can make the difference. A bit more experience and training will help show off some very nice bits. Head, body, limbs, feet, expression. Could make the right package. RBPD

PUPPY DOG

1ST - "Manark Predator".

2ND - "Fabrehn Pride And Glory At Lagdonstaff". Moves well always, stands a bit higher than first. Good feet, good set on head and tail, very fit and presented in good condition.

JUNIOR DOG

1ST - "Blazinstaff Light My Fire". With a name like this it must have a future! Nicely balanced, all parts fitting well. Steady, well drilled, topline, front, rear end, lay of shoulder, tail on, feet and moved well.

2ND - "Zakstaff Toby Tobias". Very typical male head form, good front, muscled back end, tail on, feet, moved well.

MAIDEN DOG

NOVICE DOG

1ST - "Fabrehn Pride And Glory At Lagdonstaff"

Carrying top weight but that is transitory, the construction is the basis. BD, BOS & RBIS.

3RD - "Bowferry Golden Year".

JUNIOR BITCH

1ST - "Kannechor Be Dazzled". Heading up this very competetive cals had to be something special and I was 'Dazzled'. She has a list of good bits to fill the page, but she has balance, nothing extreme and will get better.

2ND - "Blazinstaff Red Ember At Lagdonstaff". I don't have colour on my list of priorities preferring to look at them without rose tints, but this is a good red. Stood square, top line with every attached component well done and fit.
