BRITISH BULLDOG CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP  SHOW 2 1 " November 2004

Judge: Mr Norman Davis (Ocobo/MyStyle)

1 would like to thank my two excellent stewards who made my day run smoothly. Also, to all of the very helpful committee that contributed to making my day so memorable.

Light eyes are a big problem ! This in itself is a fault, but it also ruins the expression. This fault is so easy to breed in but is difficult to breed out. So please beware. Jaws appear to be improving, at last.

Minor Puppy Dog

1 st Norris' Jumano Johnny be Good. Red. Upstanding dog who is well up to size for age. Super head, with lovely length of skull, correct amount of wrinkle, deep stop and good furrow. Darkest of eyes and super pigmentation. Neat rose ears. Wide true underjaw with good turn up. Straight bone to neat feet. Strong arc of neck. Excellent body shape, with big ribs. Correct topline, and tail set. Coat in excellent condition and of correct texture. Well angulated hind quarters. Moved soundly. A very nice puppy without any exaggeration.

2ndPeacock's Coatesmar It's George's Day Heavier type than 1. Nice head with excellent underjaw. Lovely front. Body shape OK. Lost to 1 on movement not lame or unsound but reluctant to move.

3 rd Booth's Hobtop White Knight White with red markings. Good body shape. Moved well, but is narrow in underjaw and his eyes could be darker.

Puppy Dog

1 st Johnson's Trimbull True Grit Lovely red and white puppy. Super head with correct skull. Rose ears. Correct amount of wrinkle. Massive underjaw, being both wide and true, with excellent sweep. Dark, clean eyes of the correct shape and size. Super neck flowing into a lovely body with big ribs and correct topline. Excellent, heavy bone with neat feet. Excellent movement, possessing the typical roll. In the challenge for the RCC, he pushed hard, but 1 personally think that you are putting too much pressure on the owner and dog to give such a high honour on a very young dog. This dog has a very bright future. (Best Puppy in Show).

2nd Allen's Bronom Naughty Neptune

Fawn. Lovely headed dog who needs to body up, and would benefit from a lot more ring training. Good bone and neat feet.
