The Downlands Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breed Champ Show 20th September 2025
Dogs
My sincere thanks to the Committee of DSBTC for the invitation to judge bitches at their Champ show. A Big Massive Thank You to all the exhibitors who gave the club a super entry of 92 bitches. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for the opportunity to go over your Staffords and also to those of you who travelled from overseas as well , it was super to see you there. A big thank you to my ring steward on the day Mr Simon Green for doing a first class job and it was very much appreciated mate. It was lovely to see such good entries of top quality bitches throughout all of the classes. It gives a very good sign of things to come in the future of our beloved breed. I was very happy to see there were no teeth problems but on a negative note some of the bitches could do with more muscle tone in my opinion and this can be the difference between winning and losing on the day. I was extremely pleased with my final line up of top class bitches.
