Blackpool & District Canine Society - Sunday 25th June 2023

Judge: Mrs Leanne Marshallsay

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

I would like to sincerely thank all the exhibitors who allowed me to judge their dogs, it is always an honour to be given such a wonderful opportunity.

There are, in my opinion a few concerns with regards to narrow fronts and poor movement. Our breed should move with drive and not have a high stepping ballerina movement. I saw no evidence of closed nares or breathing issues despite it being extremely warm.

I have not mentioned mouths as I found no massive concerns with the dogs I placed.
