Black brindle eight months old.  Of good type. Movement was poor due to age, but will improve with time.

Second in Puppy Dog

Black brindle.  Seen this dog at previous shows, stands out!  A good overall Stafford that moves well with levl topline.  Deep chest, neat rose ears, round eyes and scissor bite.

Brindle and white pied.  This dog stood alone as a very goof example of a Stafford.  I could not find fault with him in any way.  Best Dog.

Black/brindle almost at 11yrs, a bitch I remember fondly when she was in her prime, the virtues that won her through then - although obviously aged - are still there to be admired . Excellent conformation throughout, correct skull /foreface ratio , excellent angulation to both fore and aft , level topline and height to body length balance. 

Another black/brindle I greatly admired when in her prime, now at 12yrs and still looking as elegant as ever, much of the virtues of (1) apply here too. Thank you for the pleasure of assessing these lovely ladies.

Top size, well balanced black brindle, very good skull and foreface for age, nice eye and ear placement giving good expression, ample width and depth to front, level topline, and correct angulation to rear, paced a bit on the move but showed me enough to excuse . 

Another top sized black brindle, ran (1) quite close, and whilst possessing very similar attributes she carried a little more substance especially in head properties which I hope doesn't mature too far and ruin her feminine qualities.

What a little cracker this was, brindle and white pied, looked just as a puppy should at this stage in her development, with everything in good order ready to grow into, nice skull/muzzle ratio, short blunt foreface, excellent expression when required enhanced by her most attractive markings, excellent angulation to both front and rear, short in back with ample rib for age, nice lift with correct depth of brisket (to point of elbow) and tuck up giving pleasing underline.  A bitch I'm sure that will be appealing to both judges and those at ringside as she matures further. Best Puppy Bitch, Best Puppy in Show, Reserve Best Bitch. 

B/brindle bitch that took me quite by surprise, lovely standard bitch that won her place by virtue of her excellent conformation, nose to tail not a lot to pick fault with here, a very neat package that I feel would do well in any company, quality puppy very unfortunate to meet (1) on this day. 

Standard black brindle with good conformation and femininity that won her through in this class.  Nice head again with pleasing feminine expression, dark eye and neat rose ears, shortish foreface with correct dentition, front of good width and depth, level topline and good depth to brisket with pleasing tuck up when viewed in profile, good rear quarters giving drive on moving out.

Impressive black brindle, very punishing head, athletic in profile, with level topline , height and body length balance out, good on the move showing good drive and reach, I just preferred the softer more feminine head properties of (1).

3rd in a very strong Junior Bitch class, lovely black brindle with white, good quality throughout, pleasing head with all the desired attributes, rose ear, dark eye correctly placed, good skull, short foreface.  Bodily she is very balanced with correct angulation to fore and rear, a little more ring presence would enhance her appeal further.. 

Beautiful black/brindle, very similar to what has successfully come before from this kennel . Feminine head with good stop, short foreface, dark eye, rose ears giving beautiful expression, straight front of good width, level topline and showing good tuck up when viewed in profile, good rear quarters and effortless on the move.  To be picky, a quarter inch more would be more to my liking but a cracking bitch nonetheless . 

Black brindle bitch that is very structurally sound, feminine head with sufficient strength, short foreface with correct dentition, good width and depth to her straight front, short in body with good depth and width giving taper to loins, ample angulation in rear giving very smooth effortless movement.

Bigger bitch all round than (1) but very sound all the same and showed terrific movement, however another I would prefer to see possess a little more femininity in head properties.

Cracking black bridle that I have judged on a previous occasion.  Today she was in tip top condition. Terrific muscle tone and coat enhancing her excellent conformation.  Chiselled but feminine head with wicked expression when required , front was of correct width and depth and showing good angulation (easy to see , given her excellent conditioning) topline and underline giving athletic profile and her excellent shoulder to waist taper enhanced by her light loins.  Correct angulation to rear quarters which were rock hard to the touch, (moved okay).  Could not be denied today, I felt. Best Bitch and Best in Show. 

Another excellent bitch who I feel was unfortunate to meet (I) in such excellent form today.  This bitch showed her socks off throughout.  She possesses much of the virtues of the winner, however, as with the Post Graduate winner, a quarter inch would enhance her already terrific presence .
