A handsome black brindle male of outstanding breed type, whom I have had the pleasure of judging previously, and I continue to be a great admirer of this exceptionally well-made Stafford. He presents a strong yet beautifully balanced outline, free from exaggeration, and exemplifies the ideal combination of moderation, strength, and athleticism. He possesses a clean, powerful head of correct proportions, with a strong underjaw, well-developed cheek muscles, and neat rose ears framing a keen expression, enhanced by dark round well set eyes which complete the picture. A dog of very good substance and bone throughout, with good width and depth of forechest, well-sprung ribs, a firm topline, and muscular, well-developed rear quarters with correct angulation front and rear. On the move he is purposeful, sound, and effortless, covering the ground with ease and positive drive whilst maintaining a solid topline. Presented in excellent condition at 6½ years of age and handled to perfection. A quality male who so successfully combines strength, soundness, and true Staffordshire Bull Terrier type in a very appealing and complete package, his natural showmanship ensuring he never went unnoticed on the day.

A beautiful six-year-old black brindle dog with the correct blend of bull and terrier. He has a classic breed head and expression and embodies everything I look for in a male.

His short, muscular neck flows into the truest of fronts, and he stands foursquare with ample spring of rib when viewed from above. His topline is level, and his excellent forequarter and rear angulation give him true, correct movement. Pleasure to behold watching him move. His tail set is correct, and he carries it low. One of the best conditioned dogs on the day. In complete harmony with his handler, he was a real pleasure to watch. Expressive, eye-catching, and all Stafford, his quality cannot be denied.
