STAFFORDSHIRE BULL DARLINGTON 21 Judge: Mr T W Wood STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE DARLINGTON 21 Firstly I would like to thank Darlington Dog Show Society for inviting me to judge Staffordshire Bull Terriers at their Champ Show and secondly, I would like to thank all of the exhibitors who brought their Stafford’s for my assessment on the day and took all my decisions in a good Sporting manner. I would also like to thank my two ring stewards who did an excellent job making things run so smoothly on the day. The overall quality was excellent with some Stafford’s unfortunately going back home cardless. There were a lot of them that could have been fitter and harder on the day but that will only come with more exercise and proper diet, this can be the difference between winning and losing on the day and this was the case in a lot of classes on the day. Having said that, overall the quality was really very good. I thoroughly enjoyed my day Judging your Stafford’s. I was really pleased with the overall quality of my entries at the show on the day. 1 Whitley’s Ginstean Black Bomber. Bl/B.
