Driffield Championship Dog Show
STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER
Judge: Mrs Jo Blacker
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their championship show and for the hospitality shown to myself and my husband. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for the fantastic entry, for the opportunity of assessing their dogs and for the sporting way my decisions were received. I was very pleased with the quality of Stafford I had to assess so therefore some excellent specimens had to go without a placing.
