North Eastern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club

I was extremely delighted and honoured to have been invited to Judge The North Eastern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Clubs 2018 Championship Show at the superb venue Ferryhill Community Hub on Saturday 15th September. My sincerest and warmest thanks to the Club ,The Officers and Committee for their wonderful hospitality. I felt honoured and privileged that exhibitors had brought their dogs for my opinion and assessment of your dogs a sincere Thank You All . Both Craig Fraser Bitchs and myself were going to have a busy day with the super entry that awaited us. I saw no health concerns in the dogs I assessed. All had superb temperaments as usual in the Breed. Conformation and Movement imo was superb No issues or Health Concerns.
