Thank you for the invitation to judge at East Anglian Bull Terrier Club. My stewards were both helpful and knowledgeable and I would like to extend my appreciation to them. A little concerning for the future of our breed that there were no puppies, dogs or bitches, but overall, there was a very high standard of animals present. I very much enjoyed the day.

1st RAGNAROK FJALAR (MR & MRS M & A TAYLOR)
Powerful 15-month-old red & white boy, a pleasing deep rich red colour. Strong profile, excellent fill with no indentations, ears well placed that just need to firm up a little, small eye and good expression. Lovely round bone, straight front, decent feet, well angulated front and rear, correct fore chest, deep brisket, strong hindquarters. When moved correctly, he moves very well with drive while holding his topline level. To be picky, he was a touch loose but should tighten with age. Quality dog, one to watch. BD

Very well handled.
