EAST MIDLANDS STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW SAT 12 NOV 2011 (BITCHES)

My thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge bitches at their CH show, also thanks to my two very capable stewards .A great entry in numbers and quality, my only concern, a few bad mouths in the earlier classes and some bitches lacking in bone, in my opinion there is to much of a gap between dogs & bitches these days We all know bitches must be feminine compared with dogs but there is no excuse for lack of bone and muscle They are after all one breed and big boned muscular dogs and small boned spindly bitches is a recipe for disaster After saying that my principle winners were excellent examples of the breed

1ST & BCC & BIS JACKSON & WHITEHOUSE CH BOURTIE WOT A STEAL I have admired this bitch for some time from the ringside but she still surprised me when I went over her the hardness & fitness of this bitch is hard to beat no exaggerations at all but quality shone through if there were a few more bitches of this quality about Stafford’s as a breed would be better off

2ND O’CONNER’S BEARCREST EN VOGUE AT CHEZATREE When this bitch came in the ring it was like seeing an old friend that you haven’t seen for years I gave her a ticket 10yrs ago and I have not seen her since but recognised her straight away Carrying some weight these days but who could blame her at nearly 12yrs of age Still retains a lot of her virtues that I liked so much all those years ago
