West Of England Bull Terrier Club

Open Show

19th March 2023

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for giving me the opportunity to judge such wonderful breeds, they have captured my heart and soul. This Club clearly values their exhibitors and offered the most amazing prizes and rosettes. It is a friendly inviting show which encourages new exhibitors with help and advice. Also to the exhibitors who gave me the chance to assess their dogs and accept my decisions graciously. I was extremely lucky to have Tyrone Probert judging the Miniature Bull Terriers who brought forward some superb examples to compete for the Best In Show with our decisions were unanimous throughout.
