STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CLUB OF

VICTORIA INC

CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW – 8TH MARCH 2009  
 
 

I would like to firstly thank the SBTC of Victoria for inviting me to judge at your Championship Show, this was my 1st judging appointment overseas  Also want to thank all those people who looked after me and showed me around some of the Melbourne area it certainly will not be my last visit, as I have made some lifelong friends.  On the day of the show I found all the exhibitors and spectators very friendly and the dogs were all well behaved.  I try to make everyone and the dogs feel at ease and make it fun although serious.  Thank you to the many exhibitors and spectators comments I received after my judging.  I found the dogs on the whole to be very good, I like to see a standard dog not to bully and not to terrier, with dark eyes, correct scissor bite and correct pigmentation.  I did find that there were a few light eyes and some very bad mouth faults – cutting down canines, and undershot is not accepted even in the UK. The dogs/bitches with these faults should not be bred from as they can be passed from generation to generation, surely it would be better to breed from a litter sister/brother that may not be a champion but have correct bite, eye colour etc, to move the breed forward.  Those animals that did have bad mouths, eye colour could have been placed if these faults were not present as they did have some excellent qualities. Also there were in some of the larger classes dogs that were not placed that had excellent qualities and it came down to ‘nit picking’ for my first 5. The baby puppy classes were excellent fun, and showed what the future will bring for the breed. It was a fun day for them.   Thank you all once again for your kind support and I hope that the comments I have made give you food for thought and that the comments below show that I did see a lot of qualities.
