An excellent entry with a depth of quality and type, and the majority presented in hard condition, no bulldogs or whippets on show but a nice blend of bull and terrier.  I notice  that most of my major winners were sired by Ch Positive Profile one a gave top honours to a few years back, good to see that he's passed on his many virtues, on a  very warm day they semed to cope well with the heat, all in all an enjoyable day with a tremendous atmosphere.
