I would like to thank the Committee of East Anglian Bull Terrier Club for appointing me to judge their show and the exhibitors who entered their dogs in the show, despite the difficult times that we face now, in terms of economy, which unfortunately affects our breed too. Thank you to my stewards for the excellent teamwork and thank you to everyone who made the show run so smoothly and pleasant. I was very pleased with the quality of the dogs entered and, what is worth mentioning, the physical and mental condition of every dog was just excellent, what a pleasure to go over such happy and well looked after dogs.

1st CIGANO DARK KNIGHT FOR AFANBULL (MR J SHEEHY)
10 years old black brindle and white whom I always admired and judged a few years ago in his prime. I was pleased to see he is so well looked after and in such great mental and physical condition. A true showman, square and cobby, ample of bone, screams power, masculinity and type, the qualities I always look for in a male. His head is well packed, well filled and curved, expression to die for, thanks to his gorgeous little wicked eyes and small ears bang on top. Beautiful, powerful front with round bone, lovely tight feet, short back and well angulated hindquarters. Not the tallest of dogs, could probably do with a bit more leg , to be critical, but his beautiful virtues outweigh this, without a doubt & made him best veteran in show. Expertly handled and showed his full of fire temperament.
2nd TEIRWGWYN PHANTOM JESTER FOR UKUSA (MISS F MILLS)
Beautiful red and white, 7.5 years old, bigger in size then 1st, in fit condition, masculine, very good bone, not the head of the winner but still a very nice, strong head with good fill and profile, beautiful straight front, correct make and shape, nicely held top line, well angulated back. Happy and attentive dog. Presented very nicely, his temperament is a perfect example of the correct, true bull terrier temperament.

1st BEEBEEMI IN THE GHETTO (MISS DONNA MITCHELL)
Stunning brindle and white puppy dog, a lot to like about him! He is so well put together, typy and smart, he took my attention straight after entering the ring. He has a great, masculine head, still in development, so even more fill and curve to come, perfect mouth, very correct make and shape with short back and lovely angulated, strong quarters. The only small detail I would prefer better is he tends to stand with his front feet slightly outwards but I am sure that will tighten and improve with age. He moves very well and shows like a pro already. Well handled, presented in immaculate condition. Credits to his breeder/owner. RBD BP
2nd BILBOEN TRIAL OF A PICKPOCKET (MISS S FOSTER)
Beautiful, white with ear marking ,10 months old male puppy, very typy, clean, straight front, tidy feet, piercing eyes and lovely ears bang on top , everything I love in the front look of a bull terrier, he has got it. Perfect mouth. Correct make and shape, obviously at this stage immature yet and so much to come, all he needs now is time. Moves very well. Handled expertly.

1st KARMARA'S SUGAR DADDY (MRS & MR R & T KARTA-WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS)
Upstanding 13 months old white male, with well curved head, beautiful eyes, stunning straight front and tidy cat-like feet, lovely front picture, the only detail that would complete his expression is a full nose pigmentation, but it always improves with age. He is still not fully developed yet and lots more to come. He has a very nice bone, very correct shoulder placement and overall make end shape is top drawer. Moves very well both ways. Superb temperament and shows like a pro. Professionally handled. Lovely to watch. Pity for his tight canine but his many virtues outweigh this fault.

1st DEVARCA ANYTHING GOES (MRS & MR R & J SULLIVAN)
Brindle and white superb typy male with lots to offer. He has very smart markings and presented in pristine condition. Naughty on the day and made his handler work hard for his title. Due to this it was initially hard to assess him in movement, however in the final line up he settled and moved well, typically for the breed. His head is wide and masculine, enough profile, correct dentition, straight tidy front, beautiful cat-like feet. Good bone for his size, he is short backed and very well made, I have an impression that he isn't in his prime yet so more to come with time. I love his balance and type. BD

1st BLAZINBULLYS WHITE WARRIOR (MR M D HIRD)
White male with marked ear, strong and masculine, his head is powerful and well filled, he could perhaps do with a little more curve to his profile, nevertheless he is a great example of the breed, typy and very correct. Perfect teeth. Great bone. A proper male. Lovely make and shape, very correct which made him win the class. Moves lovely both ways. Shows like a real showman, full of spirit and in tune with his handler. Pleasure to watch.
2nd RUBBISE BIG AL (MR A HAASE)
Absolutely lovely marked brindle and white. In perfect condition, gleaming coat, a pleasure to see. Head is great in profile and well filled in front. He has lovely small ears and eyes. Front is nice and straight, very tidy. His top line could be better. Very laid back in temperament, he didn't want to show for his handler, but what a lovely disposition. Needs more ring practice. Overall his biggest strength is his great type. His markings are very attractive.

1st BILBOEN QUANTUM OF SOLACE (MISS SARAH FOSTER)
Stunning, flashy dog, lots to like about him. It was not easy to judge him due to his lack of ring experience, we was unsettled which nearly cost him the 1st place . Fortunately for him, he eventually stood properly and reveal all his stunning virtues. He has a very well curved, long head and absolutely striking expression. His well carried ears of a great shape and absolutely stunning eyes giving that punching expression is something I absolutely adore and always look for in a bull terrier. When standing settled and in correct position, he is a beautiful picture of a very well made short body, really quality dog in gleaming condition.
