HUBBULLS THE PROMISE” RESERVE BEST IN SHOW Mr D &Mrs S Tennick & Mrs C Ridley “JAGSTAFF THE FISHERKING” BEST PUPPY IN SHOW Mr S & Mrs J Simpson “BRIGANAH BREAKING DAWN” BEST VETERAN IN SHOW Mr J & Mrs V Brown “Ch. ARAIDH LADIES WOT LUNCH AT ROTHERSTAFF” DOGS Today, apart from enjoying myself immensely, I have achieved another ambition in judging my own club’s Ch. Show and I should like to take this opportunity to thank those people who have helped me, in the past, to get to this position. May I offer my congratulations to Paul Grimwood, Nancie Booth along with all the Committee for what, I thought, was an excellent show and especially to my stewards (Alice Levy, Linda Payton and Jordan Morris) for a well run ring. I know that it has been said many times by many others that they wished they had had more awards to give out and I can only concur with that, as there were many dogs that I do admire that went home card less. I thought that, all round, movement was improving but I was somewhat bemused by some exhibits having the tips of their canines cropped for no apparent reason that I could see. One of my winners had a small dental fault but I would rather that than a structural fault! Finally I would like to thank all those exhibitors who paid me the honour of entering under me and who afforded me the privilege of judging their dogs. DOG CC JAGSTAFF THE FISHERKING RESERVE DOG CC CH. CROSSGUNS TOM JONES BEST PUPPY DOG WAYSTAFF DUTCH MINISTER CLASS 1 - VETERAN DOG (4) 1st WATERS “CH ASHSTOCK BY JUPITER” JW. What can be said about this well renowned, predominately, red dog that hasn’t already been said? He is upstanding with a strong skull, small ears of correct settlement and dark well positioned eyes. His front is good with straight boned legs. Being nicely bodied and short coupled he has good hindquarters and good movement. A worthy winner. 2nd BARREN & GUIVERS “DAZZLING WHITE LAD BY GULARRENS” ShCM. An all time favourite of mine this, pied dog (as is the 3rd.in this class), who was unlucky today in coming up against the 1st. He has very good head qualities and a pleasing expression. He possesses a broad chest with a well ribbed body and is nicely coupled. With a good front and rear he moves with definite drive. I am of the opinion that had his owner enjoyed better health that this dog would have been a top winner for he is hard to fault and has always had that “strength for size” attribute. 3rd HOPKINS “PRIDE OF TIME”. Reserve FAIRHURST’S “YORKS ONE TIME FOR FAIRLENIUM”. CLASS 2 - MINOR PUPPY DOG (3) 1st WILLIAMS “JODELS EXCALHIBUR”. A strong, upstanding, red with a wide, white flash to his front that extends around his neck. He has a very pleasing head shape with rose ears and nicely placed eyes. With a strong, clean and dark masked muzzle he is cleanly lipped. He has a nice wide front enhanced by the white bib. Strongly bodied with developing rib his hindquarters propel him with power. Could do well. 2nd HOPGOOD & KERRY’S “BELLAJAZZ LEONARDO”. A b/brindle dog lacking the power of 1st. ,at this stage but he possesses a nicely shaped head with small, rose ears and well placed, dark, eyes. Held his top line on the move. He is bodying up O.K. but is not as mature as this class’s winner. He needs time. 3rd DESMONDS “NOBLESTAFF FIRECRACKER AT ELITEBULL”. An excellent class which augers well for the future. Certainly the first three could easily change places. CLASS 3 - PUPPY DOG (8) 1st DAVIDSON’S “WAYSTAFF DUTCH MINISTER”. A strongly headed b/brindle with white blaze extending from his chest to his foreface. His skull is deep thro’ and his muzzle is broad and strong. His is clean lipped with a good bite. Well placed ears and dark, round, eyes enhance his expression. A nicely proportioned body is developing well. For his age his hind quarters are good which propel him with drive. A little more developed than the 2nd. and his flashiness, probably, helped as well. B.P.D. 2nd LEYLAND & SIMPSONS “BRIGANAH BLACK NIGHT”. Another “good un”. And apart from 1st’s. white front I could, almost, repeat myself. I really liked this b/brindle chap as he has all the attributes. He has a good well shaped head with good dentition, dark, nicely rounded eyes and small, rose, ears. His body is nicely ribbed for his age and he’s short coupled and he, too, moves very well. Most certainly a close decision but in the end I just preferred the winner’s depth of brisket. 3rd ROLLINS “SEENWORSSTAFF STRUTISSTUFF”. Reserve WEISS “KEEP THE FAITH GREAT ‘N GLORY”. VHC MEMBURY’S “MITZSTAFF MEAN MACHINE”. CLASS 4 - JUNIOR DOG (7) 1st LEWIS, SMART & LOWE “BLAZINSTAFF BLAZIN JUSTICE” JW. A red and white pied of real top quality and one I very seriously considered for a higher, final placing. He possesses a classic head with a clean lipped mouth and good teeth, well shaped and placed eyes and nicely carried rose ears. His skull is deep thro’ with a good strong neck that runs down to into very good shoulders. Nicely bodied up he has a very powerful back end with muscular inner thighs. These propel him with drive. A certainty for the future! 2nd WILLIAMS “HUBBULLS NEBRASKA”. A nicely put together red of quality with all the head and mouth attributes that are required and a lovely “soft” expression. Strongly bodied he too owns good rear quarters but is slightly heavier in the shoulder. His handler had to persevere and work hard with him as he was somewhat unruly. 3rd WEISS “ITS PRINCE NASEEM GREAT ‘N GLORY”. Reserve WILLIAMS “GAZANNLOU THE PRETENDER AT BELLAJAZZ”. VHC WEISS “KEEP THE FAITH GREAT ‘N GLORY”. CLASS 5 - YEARLING DOG (5, 1ABS) 1st FOLWELL & MORRIS'S “ROWELSTAFF MR FERGUSON”. A mainly deep red dog that is nicely headed with small, rosed ears, dark eyes and mask. His bite is scissored with canines well placed. A well balanced dog with a straight front and long muscled shoulders which flow from a good neck. With a pleasing body he is short coupled and has good musculation in the hindquarters and decent action. 2nd WEISS “ITS PRINCE NASEEM GREAT ‘N GLORY”. A short coupled b/brindle of good quality that pushed hard for 1st. place and has been unlucky today as he was 3rd. in the previous class. However he has good shape to his head with the darkest of eyes, well placed, small, ears and a neck that when pressed gives resistance. His shoulders are well set and his quarters are well developed but I would have liked to have seen a little more width and depth in the brisket. His movement was a lot better in this class. 3rd DEARMAN’S “BLAZINSTAFF SACRIFICE”. Reserve HYDE’S “SEDGBRED BLACK DIAMOND”. CLASS 6 - MAIDEN DOG (3) 1st MCCOMISKIE & DICK’S “BOURTIE AY AY FIT LIKE”. And fit like he is with a sculpted and well muscled body and is as fit as the proverbial. He has a cracking head with pronounced cheek muscles, a good bite and depth and width to his skull. He has that “wicked” expression. He is wide chested and well ribbed with a straight, long muscled, front and a powerful rear end. His movement is wide, parallel and oozes power His feet, unfortunately, were not helped on this surface. 2nd PITAS “ANGRANIAN SAIORSE WARRIOR”. A different type this b/brindle, white bibbed fronted, dog. I liked his head shape with his well positioned dark eyes and rose ears. His dentition is good with a terrier bite. His chest is deep enough but could do with a bit more width. Propelled by, strong, adequately muscled rear legs he moves well. 3rd MEMBURY’S “MITZSTAFF MEAN MACHINE”. CLASS 7 - NOVICE DOG (3, 1ABS) 1st MCCOMISKIE & DICK’S “BOURTIE AY AY FIT LIKE”. 2nd BROWN’S “KIAMIROSE TIMEOUT”. A decent enough b/brindle dog with good head qualities in ears, eyes and mouth. His body emits strength with powerful hindquarters and broad, deep chest and his rib is developing. He’ll be O.K. given time but he was out of his depth in this company. CLASS 8 - GRADUATE DOG (6, 1ABS) 1st MCCOMISKIE & DICK’S “BOURTIE AY AY FIT LIKE”. 2nd MEARA & MILLGATE’S “RAMBLESTAFF SOLO ECLIPSE AT MILLAMEAR”. A b/brindle of good make and shape. Nicely headed with a clean, scissor, bite and well placed eyes, dark in colour and good ear carriage. Straight fronted and nicely put together with decent movement. Another very close decision between him and the 3rd. but for me, today, he was just that bit cleaner in outline but it took some deciding though. 3rd PICKSTON’S “MARMADUKE MY LORD” Reserve ESSEX’S “JAVAWOLF MIGHTY MOUSE”. VHC HYDE’S “SEDGBRED BLACK DIAMOND”. CLASS 9 - POST GRADUATE DOG (10, 1ABS) 1st TENNICK & RIDLEY’S “JAGSTAFF THE FISHERKING”. An excellent red dog of undoubted quality with a slash of white to the chest. He has a lovely head with strength to his under jaw and depth to his skull. Strongly muzzled with a dark mask he has a good bite, nice sized teeth and tight lips. Small, rose, ears which he uses well and the darkest of eyes for a red give him a very expressive look. His powerful, shortish, neck melds into very good shoulders and a straight boned front with nice feet. Well boned he possesses a deep and wide fore chest and a barrelled rib. He is nicely coupled and tucked in at the waist with excellent rear quarters which propel him very powerfully with good, parallel, movement. Suggests great strength for size. D.C.C. R.B.I.S. and B.Opp.S. 2nd CLARKE’S “JUCROCS SANDRAS RED SIZZLER”. Another very good red dog with white socks to his forelegs and a wide, white blaze to his impressive forefront. He carries a “punishing” headpiece with a good mouth, eye and ear positioning. Strongly bodied and little to choose in length of coupling he too has power in his hindquarters but I had a preference for first’s movement. He will hold his own in any company. 3rd THOMSON’S “KIAMIROSE BOSSIN MOTION AT SIRIUSTAFF”. Reserve GILLARD & WIGGINS “KEWAUNEE JOHN SMITH”. VHC JONES “BLAZINSTAFF LIGHT MY FIRE” JW. What competition between 1st. and 2nd. for the first place in what was a strong class and on another day??? CLASS 10 - LIMIT DOG (18, 1ABS) 1st SCARLETT & REID’S “RAMBLESTAFF EBENEZER GOOD” JW. A nicely assembled b/brindle with lots of class. Compact with good quarters fore and aft and his head and body are excellent in outline. His ears are rose in shape and nicely set as are his round eyes. Dentition is good with nicely sized teeth. He is nicely coupled and ribbed and has good movement. Well shown. 2nd DOWSE’S “ROTHERSTAFF BLACK TIE”. What can I say about this b/brindle that would be other than repeating myself! He is equal in class with all the qualities attributed to the winner and is a lovely specimen and a dog I’ve admired from the ringside. Being a difficult dog to show, which belies his quality, he lost out today to a better behaved dog who I considered had the, slightly better movement. 3rd SAMBY & FROST’S “SUNNYSTONE WIZARD OF OZ”. Reserve POWELL’S “CWMCALON SON OF THE LORD ”JW. VHC STANWAY’S “DEESTAFF VIDAR OF WAYSTAFF” (IMP DNK). A class out of the top drawer! CLASS 11 - OPEN DOG (16, 2ABS) 1st LAWRENSON’S “CH CROSSGUNS TOM JONES”. What a joy to go over. Everything about him oozes quality. A super head with all the features that exemplify a top Stafford. Eyes well spaced and placed, lovely ear carriage, defined stop and deep thro’ skull. Beautifully bodied with good bone and a very pleasing front that has depth, width, and well placed shoulders. Short coupled with nice hindquarters he moves well and he excels in ring presence. A beautiful brindle dog. R.C.C... 2nd MARACHOWSKA & MARACHOWSKI’S “KALHOLS BLACK MAGIC AT PASSERNOMEN”. Exactly the sort of dog I was talking about when wishing I had more awards. A b/brindle that was unlucky to come up against the previous dog for he is of such good quality. Excelling in head and with the darkest of eyes his mouth is good with well set strong teeth. Neck length is short without being “stuffy” and his body suggests power as do his well muscled hindquarters. A dog I have seen and liked on a number of occasions and he doesn’t disappoint in any department 3rd ROLLIN’S “JAGSTAFF ST ELMOS FIRE” ShCM. Reserve JONES & WHELAN’S “MAXSTA HOT SHOT” JW. VHC DICKENSON & BIRD’S “AYMSTAFF LOOKIN FOR TROUBLE”.
