Staffordshire & Birmingham Agricultural Society

Staffordshire & Birmingham Agrcultural Society Open show 28/29 May 2025 Thank you to all exhibitors for your entries today. We were blessed with good weather, As part of a Agricultural show, the venue was noisy, which the dogs coped with, along with children with balloons and candy floss. Some exhibits were out of condition, some didn't want to be there, others excelled. I will always judge the dogs on the day. Another show will always bring different results. Cocker Spaniel.

Res BOB One of the best ladies in the ring, I have judged her before and she does not disappoint in any department, but…. Today, she lacked overall condition. An important point for this breed, I understand she has had pups, and it may take her some time to regain full condition, which I have absolute empathy with, bless her heart. I have no doubt she will regain condition and return 100% Today she had to give way to a young extremely fit young Viszla.
