“Someone
once said that quality was what no-one could describe but everyone
wanted!
Call it class, refinement or whatever, but when you see it, you
will recognise it.
It is the difference between a good dog and A GREAT DOG.”

BEST
OPPOSITE SEX PUPPY
" Very promising black brindle with first class head.
Muzzle broad, deep and of correct length in relation to
skull of broad and deep proportions. Eyes dark, ears neat
and good expression well enhanced by powerful cheek bumps.
Neck short and strong. Well placed shoulders ensuring
soundness in forehand and front movement. Short in back
with well angulated rear quarters. Well developed first
and second thighs emphasised by correct bend of stifle".

CHALLENGE
CERTIFICATE, BEST IN SHOW & BEST HEAD
"Brindle dog of substance. Very much liked his head
and expression. Width of skull in balance with the whole
dog, well defined stop, good width and depth of foreface,
strong underjaw. Dark, round well placed eyes. Strong
bone, without looking overdone, clean shoulders, strong
pasterns, fair feet. Nice spring of rib, with good tuck
up at waist. Not ultra short in couplings, but level topline
and moved with legs parallel fore and aft and economy
of front foot action which is so typical of the Breed.
A very masculine Dog which won him the top place in the
final analysis - CC and BIS as well as Best Head".

CHALLENGE
CERTIFICATE & BEST IN SHOW
"I do feel sorry for other exhibits coming up against
this dog every time. For me an excellent specimen who
is one step above everything else. Won this class, CC
and BOB with a bit to spare over some very good exhibits,
so not just a dog who stands out in bad company, but also
stands out in good company. And, these dogs don’t come
along very often. Excellent head shape, well pronounced
cheek muscles, neat ears, dark round eye, good fill under
the eye, strong muzzle, strength of underjaw, strong well
boned front. Feet okay, well padded, depth of brisket
, well sprung ribcage, short back, close coupled. Very
strong well angulated hindquarters. A dog who I still
look at his photographs now weeks after the show. A true
Champion. Thank you. ".

"Brindle,
although his teeth are now a bit discoloured he still
retains an excellently shaped, strong deep head. Good bone
and front, short coupled and squarely built. This was my
CC winner last time I was in SA".

BEST VETERAN (4)
"Brindle dog. I had the pleasure in judging him in
puppy in 1997. I then gave him first and said what a lovel
dog he was at the time. A great joy to go over him now in
veteran and so pleased he made Champion. He still looks
great.".

powerful head with well proportioned neck flowing well
into top line and shoulders. Good strong ample bone in

BEST VETERAN (2)
"What a lovely old man! Very typical Stafford with
a powerful underjaw, great weight of bone with terrific head
shape and deep through skull. I would have loved to see this
dog a couple of years ago in his prime. Very seriously
considered in the final line up."

VETERAN DOG (1)
"Black brindle and white. Stood alone but a worthy winner, bang
in the standard and well balanced, a kennel that can turn out
quality and type, time and time again, the key word here is
'consistency'. A real pleasure to go over their exhibits. |
