PRETORIA STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CLUB

 
34th ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 7th MAY 2017

What an enjoyable experience my time in South Africa was and one that will undoubtedly stay with me 

The weather could not have been kinder on the day, the trophy table was beautifully presented, rosettes were a picture and organisation commendable, I was well catered for and looked after with a fabulous spread for lunch, all decisions were excepted with respect, courtesy and sportsmanship, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every exhibitor for their entries and taking the time to travel and seek my opinion 

I had a pleasing selection of Stafford's to chose from, and very happy with my winners and final line ups 

I found type pleasing, mouths were good with only a few dentition problems 

Excess weight on dogs was something I would like to see improved along with fitness, quite a few were carrying too much weight, were soft to the touch, lacked muscle tone and definition, handling could also be improved, this helps with the overall presentation of your dog and proper assessment by the judge 

 My ring steward Walter is to be commended on the order he kept throughout the day sorting exhibits and keeping the ring running smoothly and efficiently with lunchtime entertainment of stories of Kruger Park and leopards and baboons had us all laughing and worried 

at the same time 

Lastly but certainly not least my sincere thanks to our hosts Adele Louis and Ansa who were not only our hosts but played a variety of roles throughout the week being tour guides, doctors, chefs and chauffeurs  and entertainment 

Our road trip to Kruger National Park and stay at Hazyview Cabanas was a life changing experience for me, the wildlife were truly amazing, I was in the best company with travel partner Claire and fellow judges Paul and Jeff along with Jeff's wife Gloria, fabulous memories fabulous people, I'll not forget our time together 

I'd like to thank the committee for the consideration and the Club for the opportunity 

You live in a unique and beautiful part of the world 

I encourage anyone that the club extends an invitation too, to grab it with both hands 

Thank you 

Yours in Stafford's

His front is straight, well up on pasterns, level topline, could have more angulation in hindquarters along with depth, coat short and close, handled well  

2nd Bronxton Sam Hannah 

Red with white 

A lot to like about this puppy, he needs to relax and find his feet as he was proving a handful for his handler and assessing him properly was a difficult task he is a still very much a baby so plenty of time 

What I saw I thought he was a promising baby with plenty of virtues, pleasing headshape, a little excess flesh around the muzzle that hopefully in time with growth should sort out, dark pigmentation, ears were neat and sat well placed on the head when he alerted and caught a quick glimpse of his expression, he has a nice amount of bone and is short coupled. I think with time and patience he will prosper, goodluck
