I would like to “THANK” The Officers & Committee of Manchester Dog Show Society for inviting me to judge BULL TERRIERS & MINIATURE BULL TERRIERS to your All Breed Championship Show on 20th January 2024, which was an honour and a pleasure for me, and the kind hospitality shown to me. I would also like to “THANK” the Exhibitors for their entries and the opportunity of going over some very nice dogs and the sporting manner in which they accepted my decisions (which after all is only my opinion). A special word of Thanks to my two Stewards – who made sure everything ran smoothly, which made my job much easier. There was a very good atmosphere around the ring in a spacious Venue. I would like to mention one or two personal observations, which come to mind and which I would like to point out - “INVERTED CANINES”, “HIGH TAIL CARRIAGE” , which were evident in a few exhibits and need attention!!!! The “” STANDARD”” says .. teeth sound, clean, strong, good size, regular with a PERFECT , regular and complete sissor bite; TAIL set low and carried horizontally .
