I would like to thank the WMTS for giving me the opportunity ,to judge the 10 classes of Staffordshire bull terrier at there premier open show.

This was also sponsored by the Sedgley &Gornal ringcraft club who gave the BOB , RBOB and BPIB rosettes. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club gave rosettes 1st to 5TH

And kindly donated £20 for BOB ,£15 RBOB and £10 for best puppy.

The show itself I feel was a credit to its hardworking committee who made my day a very enjoyable one, many thanks to my ring steward John who was a pleasure to meet and made his job look so easy , which in turn made mine. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the exhibitors who brought there dogs / bitches for my opinion many thanks.
