BULLDOG - BLACKPOOL & FYLDE BULLDOG CLUB

FRIDAY 24th JUNE 2022

JUDGE – MRS CLAIRE PARKER (ALBIONPRIDE)

I would firstly like to thank the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge this Open Show. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, and my stewards organised the ring exceptionally. I had an entry of 56 dogs with 37 being present on the day. Overall the quality of the exhibits was very good. There were a couple with tighter tails than I would have liked but from a health point of view this breed has improved greatly in overall health, confirmation and soundness. My only disappointment was in the lack of width of jaw in many exhibits.
