Critiques and Gallery 8th Championship Show

14th September 2008
Judge: MR TONY BRINDLEY - CABRINDLE (UK)
.

The S.B.T. Club of N.N.S.W. kindly invited me to judge the dogs and bitches on Sunday 14th September this year. It was quite noticeable that the show was very well organised and that the club was very generous to myself, the exhibitors and spectators.

The exhibitors who were polite and courteous accepted my decisions very sportingly.
Some Staffords were too heavy, but many others must be complimented on their fitness and general condition.
There were many exaggerations in the size of heads and shortness in muzzle.
Some exhibits were good in body and in the front and rear angulation of quarters, but failed to win because of the size and shape of head coupled with short muzzles.
The C.C. and Res. C.C. winners were good examples of what I consider to be of correct head size and shape.
