Richmond Championship Dog Show
Sunday 7th September 2025
Judge Julie Cartwright, Borgstaff.
Firstly I would like to thank the committee of this show for allowing me to judge here, this was my first appointment awarding Challenge Certificates for Staffordshire Bull Terriers. A huge thank you to all the exhibitors for your entry and for taking my decisions in such a sporting manor.
On a very warm day, I found no breathing issues in any of the dogs, teeth in general were good with minimal mouth faults, therefore not mentioned in my individual critiques. The ground was unfortunately very uneven and the grass quite long which made accessing movement quite difficult at times.
Thank you to my ring steward, Dave Levy who worked tirelessly and kept everything in order for me.
Thank you to everyone again for you’re entries and patience on the day.
