A big thank you to the officers and committee for the invite to judge at your champ show, I had a great time and a big thank you to Pam and peter for putting me for the week, they are really great people and I think I have found friends for life

What a class another class that many of them could be in the cards
1st Ch Castlebar Crown Jester [ai] There are not many dogs have made the hair on my neck stand up as this dog did, a pied of outstanding qualities, strong head maybe a little to strong for what I go for but for me he is so outstanding in all other parts I over looked my
personal preference, good eye colour neat ears, correct mouth good straight front ,with good bone, well ribbed, level topline, good strong back end, that when he moved he just pushed himself forward good front movement as well, correct bend of stifle,
I think this dog could do the breed well in Australia and New Zealand if you don’t mind me saying. Best dog and Best in show well done will watch his progress through the internet thank you for bring such a cracking dog all the way from Perth
2 Triffstaff Comingonstrong. Tiger brindle love to see so many t/b in Australia you are miles ahead of the UK for producing such good tiger brindles in the breed, very unlucky to meet one, but you deserved second place in such a outstanding class. Nice head dark eyes, moved and handled well
3. Ch Sandtoys Arsenal. Dark brindle every
thing about him his nice, lovely head, and eye, good topline strong movement
both ways
Three dogs I would love to own thank you
for bringing them under me it is so much easier to judge good dogs but very hard
to judge a entry of bad dogs. Dog CC first in open dog and best in show RCC

2 Maxnjay My Ruffian, bigger than one, but every thing about her at this moment looks promising, should have a lot of fun with her

she needs some time to develop not as forward as 1 and 2 and needs some time,
but I liked her enough to place her third in this very good class
junior
1st Lanvilla Butterfly Kisses, b/b reminded me of my first champion bitch, correct bull/terrier, neat ears, dark in eye, correct mouth, strong bone, correct length in neck leading into good shoulders, with level top line nice back end, nice tail and carriage moved and handled well
2 Highbourne Knock On Wood [ai] stronger in head than 1 but other wise very much the same for me just needs to lose a few pounds and that was the difference between 1 and 2 placing, but a lovely bitch
3 Linwest What Goes Around, light brindle,
another good head, and nice all over but her feet just needs a little work but
well deserved 3 place,
intermediate bitch
1st Linwest Ella Enchanted, red and white, the best red of the day, she had the RCC but very close for the CC, cracking bull and terrier head, very good eye colour, neat ears, good bone, very fit, level topline, she kept on the move, strong back end good bend of stifle, this bitch could win any where in the world, she is so nice

good strong bitch, should make a good producer for the future,
limit bitch

If I could change any thing I would like her a little shorter in back but the best mover of the day a nice bitch,
2. Boldhart Cause You Love, b/b stronger all over than 1 but very nice head neat in ears, correct mouth, dark eye, I wish we in the UK could get these dark eyes back into a lot of our breeding in brindle's, she moved out both ways well
3. Seighford Surprise Packet, b/b smaller
than 1 and 2 but a nice bitch deserved her place but she did not move so
positive as 1 and 2, and that kept her down to 3rd but I liked her a lot
australian bred
What a class of quality bitches it is so good to see as this is where your future of good stock comes from
1st Ch Highbourne Nine Caret this kennel is producing some very nice staffords and when you see consistent type from one kennel the future looks promising, b/b very good eye colour, nice head, straight front with good bone, good drop in brisket, in a1 condition, moved both ways well,
2. Ch Vanstaff Simply Red. Red with a strong head but remaining feminine, dark eye correct length in neck, nice front level in topline, strong back end, very good bone, moved so well unlucky to meet 1,
3 Tuatahi Tribal Tattoo, b/b feminine
bitches not overdone in any department, movement good a nice bitch to be placed
in such a good class where I could have given a number of 1st out is no disgrace
not to be placed
open
1st Ch Crossguns Lady Madonna. Well Jo and Bill you let a good one slip through you grasp here, but just shows the quality Crossguns is producing to sell such a cracking bitch, brindle that screams quality and stafford, the best of heads, dark eye neat in ear with correct bite, good straight front, with lovely bone good shoulder placement, good topline with short coupling strong back end ,neat whip tail, that finishes a very close to the standard stafford bitch, my well deserved cc winner and was very close to best of breed but just could not take my eyes and heart from the pied boy I feel I finished up with two Stafford’s that could win any where in the world so thank you for bringing them under me
2. Likalot Divil To Be Similar make and shape of 1, and very nearly the same remarks and to come second to this bitch on the day is very well deserved as your bitch also could do well in the UK
3. Kabere Black Betty. Bigger than one or two, and could say more my type, but when you judge we must forget our own preference and try to put up what we see as the best on the day, but I liked her and not disgraced in coming third in a class of this quality
