STAFFORDSHIRE BULL JUDGE LEEDS 12

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

I was impressed by the general quality of the bitches where there seemed more strength in depth than the dogs. Generally mouths were good as was pigmentation. A worrying feature was the number of exhibits where the bodies displayed little spring of rib or were long cast either of which is detrimental to a Stafford’s balanced appearance.
