Junior Bulldog Club

Junior Bulldog Club Championship Show

12th October 2025

Judge: Sara Lamont (LaRoyal)

Thank you to everyone who entered and attended on the day, to my ring steward, Kelly, and at times Lieza, and to the club for honouring this Covid-diverted appointment. I’m not going to bleat on about the health of the breed, because show dogs have never been healthier. That said, the majority of breeders in our breed don’t care for the breed standard, and the raising of show standards, in my opinion, has in reality done little for the entire breed.

I encourage all breed enthusiasts to use social media and post as often as you can about our beautiful traditional Bulldogs, to educate people about how we differ from the latest fads and trends. We must continually represent on these platforms and become the majority, not the minority we are today. There are plenty of people looking for us; they just can’t find us. Breeder websites need to make a comeback. We have to fight a different war to our forefathers for this magnificent breed.

With that said, I was able to select a type I feel is vital for the future of our breed. We must do all we can to preserve our essential breed characteristics. It seems true wide jaws are no longer an easy-to-find feature, which is a sad reflection to accept. I found the males overall lacking in depth of quality across the classes, which is concerning when you consider stallion studs are key to a breed’s survival. That said, I was more than pleased with all my major winners, as justified below.

Class 1: Baby Puppy Dog (5,2abs)

1. Andlare Flummoxed, Red Pied baby stacked full of bone for a baby so young but the typical type you come to expect from this kennel. Showing correct immaturity and development for age with promising head, good turn of jaw, full nose rope and big nose. Lovely pear shaped body, and correct rise of topline creating the correct roll on the move. Moved extremely well with confidence. BBPIS

2. Suluma Obi Wan Kenobi, dark masked R&W with a balanced head and neat ears. Impressive front due to good bone framing, a well developed chest for age and big ribs, short compact body leading to a short mobile tail. Moved soundly.

3. Suluma Chewbacca

Class 2: Baby Puppy Bitch (7,2abs)

1. Andlare Look Again, litter sister to BBPD class and clear to see these babies are cut from the same cloth.Many similar attributes to her brother but a feminine version. Well boned, straight forelegs with compact paws and short nails. Shapely pear body, carrying no excessive weight yet providing the body roll on movement which was sound and strong.

2. You Make Del Caliborso Proud from Sexy Bully, Fawn Brindle much older and also larger than 1st making the obvious maturity difference more apparent.Unexaggerated feminine head, with dark pigment, clear dark eye. Well bodied in good coat and body condition. Short mobile tail and enough rear angulation. Moved well.

3. Asharlo Rumour Hast It

Class 3: Veteran Dog (1,0abs)

1. Andlare Scooter at Kikuchi JW, R/W in great condition for 7.5yrs old. Showed and moved with ease. Wide, flat skull, big nose and good nostrils and muzzle pigment (no fading) with neat rose ears, lovely dark, clear eyes. Enough rib and clean, short coat. Well boned forelegs to neat, tight tidy feet and super short nails.

Class 4: Minor Puppy Dog (4,0abs)

1. Jackarhys Unwritten, flashy dark R/W puppy showing correct maturity for age. Lovely clean outline and profile with no exaggeration but full of quality. Well pigmented, clean and balanced head with dark well set eye, nicely placed big nose with full nose roll. Well fitting and turned jaw giving a pleasing sour expression. Good shoulder placement, straight front and compact paws. Naturally curvy body shape in rib and topline. Good neck, balance topline and underline to well set tail. Enough rear angulation meaning he moved extremely well for age. Happy to reward his typical growth and development with BPIS.

2. Onabazz Papa John Ianbeldere, Compact well bodied white puppy who was much softer in body condition to 1. Classic brick skull with good eye and ear set.Well set nose and fit of jaw. Enough bone, but front assembly impeded correct front movement.

3. Waffleins Born To Dream

Class 5: Puppy Dog (3,0abs)

Unfortunately 1 dog withdrew due to lameness. This was disappointing for both exhibitor and judge as he would have been my class winner. Puppy limps are not uncommon in our breed and I highly recommend canine osteopathy for front end limps, as I’ve personally benefited in just one treatment curing sometimes lingering conditions.

1. Britannic Sugar Ray, R/W with good length and arch of neck leading to a shapely topline and low tail set. Shapley body, in lean condition, clean tuck up provided a clean outline. Large, wide square, clean skull, rounded cheeks with wide set dark, clear eyes and defined stop. Enough bone to tidy feet.

2. Bullmont’s Dane of Dragons, R/W, wide strong front with sufficient bone and neat enough feet. Well wrinkled skull, big nose and well fitting jaw. This boy was loose in front and it showed on the move but I’m sure he’ll tighten up with age.

Class 6: Junior Dog (4,1abs)

1. Mellowmood I’m a Lucky Man, this white puppy is well up to size but moves seamlessly, light on his feet with a well angulated rear. Good strong, straight forelegs into strong pastern and compact,neat feet. Flat skull, neat rose ears. Super dark, clear round eye, big nose and good nostrils with well pigmented muzzle. Good fit and turn of jaw. Enough neck into a good topline and great length mobile tail set low.Alittle soft in body condition but acceptable for age.I can see why he’s winning so well, and I have no doubts he will continue to do so.

2. Mystyle Keane, Dark Red male. Strong skull with a sour expression. Good nose and eye set with good fit of jaw. Ok bone in hard condition and would benefit from some extra pounds to balance him out but great curve to tuckup and topline with a sufficient tail setting.Move soundly.

3. Blenhiemstar Great Spirits

Class 7: Yearling Dog (2,0abs)

1. Kikuchi Yogi Bear, rich R/W coat of the correct close knit texture. Clean head, flat skull with round cheeks, big dark clear round eye and big nose with good nostrils. Enough bone to good pasterns and tidy feet with short nails. Good topline to low set tail. It took a while to settle on the move but when he did move correctly and soundly.

2. Elarhill Donatello at Huntthorn, White headed Red boy, different type to 1 much more sour with a well worked head with correct rose ear. Enough bone to tidy feet. Shapely body with rounded rib with favourable topline and tailset. Moved ok, walking this width on the return.

Class 8: Graduate Dog (3,1abs)

1. Aimees Love Just Like That, lots to like to like about this rich, correctly coated dark masked R/W. Nice over all proportions and size. Sufficient bone with strong pasterns and neat feet. Classic skull of good length which isn’t overly wrinkled,rounded cheeks and significant turnup of jaw. Enough neck with well angulated shoulder giving the correct square front. Moved sound and well.

2. Britishpride Who Dares, White with Red. Great length of skull, clean flat forehead and favourable layback.Enough bone,ok topline to superb low set tail of good length. This was his first show and it showed as he was lacking the confidence on assessment and movement.

Class 9: Post Graduate Dog (4,2abs)

1. La Martin Gold Bulls Patriot, I hope it’s not impolite to call this R/W male a beautiful beast. If he were human, I’d describe him as a “man mountain,” yet it’s like watching the world’s strongest man perform ballet around the ring. He is so light on his feet and moves remarkably well for a male carrying such pure substance and masculinity. This is a boy who oozes strength and power, with well-laid shoulders perfectly framing his front. He is a large stallion, the kind much needed in the breed and would be seen of yesteryear. He has fabulous proportions, a large skull, clear dark eyes, a well-padded foreface and well-fitting jaw with good layback. His topline is excellent, with a correct rise over the loin leading to a low-set, mobile tail. If I’d had two DCCs to give, he would have had one but he had to settle for RDCC & RBIS.

2. Jarybull Valentino Rossi to Rattray, a Red pied who was unfortunate to come up against 1 as he’s a honest strong male in his own right. A short, clean coat, enough bone with strong pasterns and neat feet. A nice sized head, sufficiently worked, clear dark round eye, big nose and well fitting jaw. Move well and soundly.

Class 10: Limit Dog (11, 5abs)

1. Shottle King Edward at Tedsbull, When someone says, “You’re positively glowing” this boy embodied exactly that. He had an aura about him and did not put a foot, whisker or sniff wrong. A beautifully clean, standard-sized, flashy red brindle; solid, powerful and strong, yet with zero exaggeration. He has a nicely proportioned head with a flat skull and a big, correctly set nose. Well defined stop, even with a full nose rope, and cheeks well rounded. His eyes are large, dark and clear. He has a wide, true, well-fitting jaw, a broad front with correctly tacked-on shoulders, and maintains that width on the move. His forelegs are well boned, strong and straight, leading to firm pasterns and neat feet. He has a sufficient neck, a correct rise to the topline and a low-set tail. Moved with ease and purpose. Easy decision to award him DCC& BIS, gaining his Champion title.

2. Weebullz Parabellum JW, not too dissimilar to 1. Compact R/W with the correct coat texture. Plainer in head with good length of skull, big nose and clear clear eyes. Longer cast in topline to 1 but another one with a good shoulders, and bone resulting in a pleasing front. Well angulated rear with lowset hocks meaning he moved well and sound.

3. Andlare Razzmatazz

Class 11: Open Dog (10, 5abs)

1. Ch Ricatori Reimagined, This boy supercharged himself to the class win on movement, which was effortless underpinning his solid conformation. He had the tidiest jaw of the day, beautifully balanced in width, fit and turn. Compact body with a good length of neck. Good chest, well boned with strong pasterns and neat feet.Correct rise to topline with a well set tail of good length.Good rear angulation which is well muscled.It's clear to see why this young dog has powered his way to Champion status.

2. D’or Wood San Valero at Gratiabull (IMP FRA), I judged this dog back in 2022 and awarded him the RCC and everything I said then still stands today. He’s a quality R/W that oozes masculinity and quality. Masses of bone, big ribs and wide chest, strong forelegs to strong pasterns and compact paws. Quality head piece with the correct stand-off expression. This time he stood in different company and unfortunately a young gun pipped him to the class win, but his outstanding qualities still remain.

3. Testwood Total Eclipse

Class 12: Veteran Bitch (2,0abs)

Both owners and breeders should be very proud of these grand girls.

1. Ragmarte Middle Earth Blenhiemstar, a spritely 10.5yr R/W. Clean profile with no wrinkles or exaggeration. Amazingly clear dark eyes for her age and good width of foreface underpinned by a wide jaw. Sufficient bone, massive rib and super clean tuckup.She flew around the ring with walking her width and no lameness. I couldn’t deny that she easily earnt BVIS.

2. Asharlo Tooty Fruity, 11yr R/W female who most certainly did not look her age. Superbly presented in clean, cared for condition. Broad flat skull, clear dark eyes, big nose and split nose roll. Developed front with broad chest, sufficient bone.Well filled ribs, short coupled with good length of tail set low.She was a little stiff on her rear whilst walking to be expected at such a great age.

Class 13: Minor Puppy Bitch (2,0abs)

1. Wilsonpride One of My Kind, R/W of substance with strong straight forearms and pasterns. Well built front with deep ribs, rise of topline and well muscled thighs with good tail length and set. Good length of skull and layback for age with tidy fit and turn of jaw. Showing the correct maturity with much more to come.

2. Wilsonpride It Is What It Is, litter sister to 1 but a slightly different type.Plain skull and wider eye set and good jaw. Massive chest that did all the jiggling on the move but meant she walked her width.Enough neck into curvy topline and low set tail. Sound movement.

Class 14: Puppy Bitch (5,1abs)

1. Ocobo Dignity Mystyle clean profile white with dark clear eye and foreface pigment. Good length of skull, feminine expression, eyes well set, wide nose with good nostrils, good fit and fit and turn of jaw. Sufficient straight bone to strong pasterns and compact feet with super short nails. Short bodied with correct rib for maturity, good length of neck flowing into a rise of topline to a low set tail. Best mover which gained her the class. BPB.

2. Mystyle the Dutchess at Unverdadero, Compact R/W with good lay of shoulder, nice front and broad chest walking her width and with typical roll. Short,shapely body with enough bone to neat feet. Another pretty expression with dark pigment and good fit of jaw.

3. Julie von Teufelhohle at Valhallabull

Class 15: Junior Bitch (6,3abs)

1. Blenhiemstar I’m on Fire, compact and stocky white with great proportions. She moved well with good body shape and beefy thighs. Good length of skull and layback with clear dark eye, great width of foreface with good cushioning.Good shoulders to strong, straight forearms with strong pasterns and small, neat feet. Enough rise of topline and well angulated rear with low hocks.

2. The Crown of the Bulldog Taylor Swift at Treasurabull, Another white girl, with broad flat skull and dark pigment. Nice clean outline with suitable brisket.Well filled chest and walking her width on the return.

Class 16: Yearling Bitch (5,3 abs)

1. Ladymere the Beauty Bybel, compact, small framed white with a classic skull with a great layback and neat rose ears. Wide foreface with good fit and turn of jaw. Enough bone for size, short topline, good tail and rear angulation moving easily and freely.There’s really not much to dislike about this girl. I wished she was a shade or two bigger.

2. Treasurebull’s One Vision, this R/W girl was wild! I’m not sure if she lacked training or was just hyper excited but it made her challenging to assess. Dry head, with clear round eyes. Good reach of neck, longer cast in body but good tail and set.

Class 17: Graduate Bitch (7,3abs)

1. Britishpride Lilly White, there is so much to like about this powerful well built girl. I just wish she had a little more show pizzazz and demanded the attention she deserves. Lovely dark eye and foreface pigment which can also be challenging for a white.Tacked on shoulders given her broad front with good bone, strong pasterns and neat feet. Brick skull of good length with full nose roll but not impeding on her big black nose. Lovely fit and turn of jaw giving a true sour stand-off expression. Correct pear shape, with low set tail and good rear angulation.I think she can go all the way with an upgrade of ring confidence.

2. Terlingfair Wings of a Dove at Allarnice, honest R/W with classic skull and feminine expression due to dark eye and good fit of jaw. Well laid shoulders, enough brisket and straight bone. Sufficient neck, with big rib and compact body. Moved well enough to take this placement.

3. Aimees Gold Digger

Class 18: Post Graduate Bitch (4,2abs)

1. Royaltudor Our Lady Marie Saintrosemil, white of larger frame but in clean and healthy condition. Square well wrinkled skull, dark eye with good fit and turn of jaw giving a sour expression. Ok for bone and enough rib.Good rear angulation winning the class with ease.

2. Blenhiemstars Raven at Chezzsbully, nice R/W with overall a good framework, build and many breed attributes. However unfortunately she was significantly out of condition and I suggest this is addressed with priority.

Class 19:Limit Bitch (6,1abs)

1. Onabazz Red Hand, I can’t begin to tell you how hard this girl pushed for the RBCC, like a BMW driver behind you in the fast lane! If I had more major awards she would have been first in the line.Her stand-off, sour (but still feminine) expression is to die for packed full of the darkest eye and foreface pigment. This is everything I love about the breed. She doesn't just have amazing head qualities with turn and fit of jaw, but it’s backed up by a well built but curvaceous body with a beautiful topline, tailset and tail. She won this class on strength of front which is just divine,tacked on shoulder, elbows standing away from the body, sufficient bone to tidy feet winning this class with ease.

2. Kenzduo American Pie for Tourmabull, this Red pied cruised to this placement on outstanding and clean movement. More upright in shoulder to 1, but super straight bone to strong pasterns and compact feet.Clean skull,well built body with enough rib and short but correct topline to well anglated and muscled rear.

3. Kalonice of Strikeapaws (IMP ITA)

Class 20: Open Bitch (12,2abs)

The strongest class of the day which I shortlisted to 5, these girls displayed an outstanding balance of build and femininity which can be so hard in our breed. All these girls were of good robusts sizes and I honestly could have given multiple 1st places.

1. Ch. Ryadjobe Stir It Up,a beautifully balanced R/W bitch is so easy on the eye. I would say she is pretty near flawless,every feature exactly as expected and should be. Strong square front with correctly tacked on shoulders, thick straight bone leading to strong pasterns to compact feet. A classic brick shaped flat skull with great length, near rose ears,dark clear correctly set eyes either side with full but clean nose roll and well fitting jaw. I really like her clean outline due to the depth of chest, a nice reach of neck,rise of topline and clean underbelly. Overall short and shapely body without any stuffiness. Finished with well muscled rear and low hocks which mean she also moved like a dream. A pleasure to award her 5th CC & BOS.

2. Int/Nor/Swe/Fin Ch.Arcticbull Billie Jean King WW25, Another compact R/W full to the brim of type.Classic skull with great length, well rounded cheeks provided width of head.Correct set and shaped rose ears, the darkest of eyes which were clear. Lovely dark pigment , correct short well knitted coat. Enough shoulder, good bone and tidy feet. Well sprung rib to short couplings and low tail set with suitable muscled thighs and good rear angulation resulting in sound, strong movement. LB pushed her hard for the RCC but she stood her ground.

3. Ragmarte Daiquiri at Pectus
