STAFFORDSHIRE BULL DARLINGTON 26 Judge: Mr J Farley STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE DARLINGTON 26 I would like to thank my stewards for their efficient assistance throughout the day, which was greatly appreciated.I must note that it was disappointing to find at least 24 dogs/ bitches exhibiting mouth faults. In some cases, the tips of the lower canines had been removed, while in others, the lower canines were either pressing into the gums or, in some instances, positioned inside the mouth. This is a concerning trend and one that deserves attention. There was also a return to shorter muzzles in some exhibits, which detracted from the overall picture.Despite these concerns, I was pleased with my winning dogs/bitches, who demonstrated the qualities I was looking for and breed type. VD (3,1) 1st Manito & Arntzen’s CH CATSTAFF’S USED TO (Nor). Younger Veteran dog in cracking condition and very good overall shape. Strong, well- developed head with good strength and substance to the foreface, giving a pleasing overall expression. Strong shoulder, good straight front and a level topline carried through to good, well-muscled rear quarters. Good overall balance and construction, and moved well with a steady, purposeful action. A very pleasing veteran who has clearly been well maintained and presented in excellent condition. 2nd Preston’s TILLCARR FIRE STARTER JW. Bigger-set dog with a strong, substantial head and good foreface. Good overall strength and substance, with strong rear quarters and the ability to hold a good, level topline. Well made through the body with plenty of bone and substance. Unfortunately didn’t seem to be performance to his full potential today. MPD (5,1) 1st Davidson & Schofield’s WAYSTAFF WILLIAM CONQUERER Red and white dog of good size, with a nice, strong head and a good mouth, with a scissor bite. Handled well. 2nd Webb’s GAZSTAFF’S THE GAMBLER Black brindle of good size, with a level topline, strong head and good mouth. A little unsettled on the move this morning. 3rd Hamilton & Murphy’s SHAWRIGG DEFINITELY MAYBE Res Campbell’s TAGSTANE RIPTIDE AT DIAMONDSTAFF PD (4,1) 1st Simpson’s SIMPSTAFF THE PRETENDER – BPD Red dog with a lovely, shiny coat.

He carried himself extremely well and maintained his shape both standing and moving.Pleased and proud to award him the CC and Best of Breed. It was a real pleasure to watch him perform in the Group, where he did the breed proud.
