STAFFORD JUDGE MANCHESTER BITCHES 09

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

BITCHES – A lovely quality entry with few absentees. I am concerned at one or two short forearms creeping in, this is immediately evident especially on the move & is a construction fault. Also disappointed in fitness. Far too many good quality exhibits lost out carrying too much weight with hardly any waistline completely spoiling overall profile, with some weak quarters which could bring with them whelping difficulties. Ours is a muscular agile breed, fitness & muscle do not come by a lighter diet just before a show & feet need road walking. On the plus side most fit the Standard in size & a great improvement in mouths, some tight canines, but nothing to penalise. Because we automatically expect it to be good we rarely mention temperament, but as that is one of the most important features of our breed it was excellent.
