Saturday 15th February 2020
Firstly I would like to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to judge their show, secondly all the exhibitors who entered their dogs under me I really appreciate it , I found no major problems with mouths or bites so it won’t be mentioned in my critique.
Puppy dog (2)
1st Mr and Mrs Lewis, Hamastaff to Be Frank at Karjaydan
Stunning red dog with white chest black mask of 10 months,good dark round eye , short neck leading to good top line, wide front, well sprung ribs and muscled backend. Made his handler work on the day as seemed distracted by something or someone, but moved well when settled. BPD , BPIB and puppy group 4.
2nd Mr D Corfield, Dark Mysterious Protector At Bostinstaffs. Black brindle dog of 9 months, not as mature as first but sure this will come. Nice head, dark eyes , neat ears, good front, level top line. Moved ok once settled.
Junior dog (9) 4 abs
1st Mr & Mrs Darby,Nikkylestaff Heart Of Gold At Claretbull
Beautiful black brindle dog, beautiful keen expression on this dog which kept drawing my eye back to him in this class. Perfectly round dark eyes, housed in a broad skull with distinct stop, leading to a short neck good width of front. Up on the Pasterns, close coupled with a level top line, moved really well. This boy pushed for best of breed but only lost out on maturity.
2nd Hamilton & Murphy, Magicgem Daredevil for Shawrigg
Red pied dog, more up on the leg than number one , correct pigment having dark eyes, black nose. Good front , shoulders well laid back, with well sprung ribs, he was muscular and defined with good bend of stifles. Moved well once settled.

Post graduate dog (7)
1st Hillman, Chalexstaff The Heathen
Seen this dog from outside the ring many a time and thought he looked nice but was better than i anticipated when i touched him. Have wrote in my notes this dog ticks every box for me. Well balanced black brindle and white dog with a powerful head , very pronounced cheek bumps, distinct stop, dark eyes, correct bite, nice underjaw lovely expression which he used to his advantage. Nice width to his front and good bone. Tight feet, level top line which he kept whilst on the move, well sprung ribs, well muscled back end, moved well and drove from the hind legs. Worked well with his handler keeping alert all throughout the class. Handled well. Went on to be BD , BOB and terrier group 3.

very worthy champion. This red dog with white chest and white toes having black mask, the darkest of eyes, beautiful broad skull, distinct stop good length of muzzle , string under jaw, close coupled with level top line, and very well defined muscles to his shoulders and rear quarters. He was turned immaculately and is a credit to his owners .
2nd Desmond, Ch Elitebull Challenger
A very worthy champion this black brindle dog with stunning head piece dark eyes nice ears correct front , moved well but I felt that last time I judged him there was more of him and after speaking with his owner who said that she’d had a bitch I season which explianed a lot as we all know how much this can effect our stud dogs. Unlucky to meet 1st place today.
