My sincere thanks to the hard working committee of the East Anglian Staffordshire Bull Terrier club for a lovely day & their company , and to all the exhibitors who entered their dogs/bitches for my opinion. My selections were made with correctness of construction/conformation in mind coupled with my interpretation of a `typical` Staffordshire Bull Terrier devoid of unhealthy exaggeration
MINOR PUPPY DOG ( 4, 1 )
1st Woolett's ASHSTOCK RED MILLER
Nice young red dog , showing good proportions . Clean chiselled head , dark round eye , short muzzle , good bite. He has good width and straight bone to his front , good rib , level topline , correct angulation to his rear quarters. Unruly and took time to settle on the move, but I saw enough to mark as correct. Nice pup who will catch a few admiring glances from ringside I imagine. BEST PUPPY DOG
2nd Moss & Taylor's MOSSTAFF RAMON
Nicely constructed puppy with good bone , a little more substantial/stronger all round than the winner but a sound specimen. Lost out to the cleaner look and balance of the class winner.
3rd LONGDRIVE POSITVE ACTION AT WELLSTAFFS
PUPPY DOG (6,2)
1st ASHSTOCK RED MILLER
2nd Emery's MAYBACH BLUE
An athletic looking b/brindle , displaying very good angulation front and rear , Good topline and in a reasonable condition for a young pup. Good head properties & strong blunt muzzle. A real handful of a pup , but one that should mature into his already sound construction
3rd MAI REBEL
Res THE WILD COLONIAL BOY
JUNIOR DOG (7,2 )
1st Watkins' VEKLORRA FLAMING
ARROW 
B/brindle ,Good example of a soundly
constructed adolescent male. Visually he has nice height to weight balance & pleasing
outline , lovely clean head with correct skull/muzzle ratio the latter housing ,large
teeth. He has correct fore/aft angulations , good topline and correctly angled croup
allowing low set on of tail and the rear feet to sit just behind his pelvic line.
Effortless on the move , covering the ground with an air of authority & with minimum
effort.
2nd McGrath's JAJCA PHOENIX FROM THE FLAME
Striking red who I have watched mature
nicely . Cracking head , clean and unexaggerated , short blunt muzzle with tight lips . ,
neat ears & dark eye well placed giving piercing expression. Good body properties with
correct topline and depth to brisket , good angulation to his rear which gave good drive
moving out. But Lost out to a dog who had better angulation to his fore providing less
inhibited movement on the forehand.

MAIDEN DOG (5,1 )
1st Watts' RYURAN VOLTAGE
Powerful but soundly constructed red.
With Good bone , sound angulation fore/aft , strong but clean head and muzzle of correct
proportion. Very good mover holding a strong topline. In my opinion a pound or so lighter
could/would make a difference to this dog.
2nd Graham's MAI REBEL
A nice red/white who displayed good all
round construction head/body/limb, still holding a little puppy fat ( he is a puppy)
, and he can appear lethargic by leaning back on his collar ruining what is correct
in natural profile. Confidence and conditioning on maturity will allow his attributes to
come to the fore.
3rd THE WILD COLONIAL BOY
Res BOLD BLACK JACK FROM GOLDCARISMA
NOVICE DOG (6)
1st Mitford-Barberton's
ARAIDH JACQUES AU BOITE 
b/brindle , A terrific example of what in my opinion is a Stafford meeting the standard . An Athletic looking dog , perfect front of correct width and weight of bone . Clean , defined head with correct ratio of skull/muzzle , clean lip and decent sized teeth/bite. Correct rib giving taper from shoulder to loin when viewed from above. Well muscled and correctly angulated rear giving purposeful drive on the moving out , it took some time for this exhibit to settle on the move and only after repeated attempts did I see enough to convince me what his correct construction should have done previous. ( but it was worth the wait !) RESERVE BEST DOG
2nd Boggins & Burton's THE WILD COLONIAL BOY
Strong b/brindle , stronger than would
be my preference and yet still a puppy. Powerful bone on front , strong well muscled rear
, deep rib/brisket , proportionate head which balances with his powerful frame.
Although overly powerful for my liking his correctness in Angulation and soundness
are evident especially on the move and his young handler certainly got the best from him
which earned him his place.

POST GRADUATE DOG (15,3)
1st Clark's DAVID BROWN
Very nice deep red dog , showing
excellent conformation throughout . Intense looking expression enhanced by his dark
pigment and eye. Typical head of clean unexaggerated proportions and short clean muzzle.
Correct width and depth to his front , with good reach/angle to humerus ( upper arm)
this coupled with correctly angulated and muscled rear provided effortless movement . He
can appear a little lethargic at times (well today he did to me) and I feel a
pound or two lighter would show his excellent construction off all the more.

2nd JAJCA'S CHALLENGER
Lovely b/brindle I have admired from ringside on occasion. Standard in size , with good head properties clean and defined (although a little stronger than I had anticipated) Strong bone on front of sufficient width , nice taper from shoulder to loin , low set on of tail ( but carried a little high on the move) , good angulation to his rear but not the purposeful drive from this dept that the winner displayed. Very nice dog though

2nd Turner's TIDESTAFF FIRECRACKER
Very sound brindle , much of what ive
written about the winner of the class applies here , however as she matures a watchful eye
should be paid to her condition as it can/does hide what should be her obvious virtues (
balance/construction)

OPEN BITCH (13,2)
1st Wild's WILDSTAFF JO BLACK
Beautiful Black Brindle that epitomises
my ideal in a Stafford bitch , strong but clean/proportionate head properties. Visibly
feminine without being `Weedy` !! She possesses a lovely front , width/bone and
depth all balance , in profile she shows good fore angulation with brisket sitting
just below the elbow. A desired degree of tuck enhancing her underline , her
topline is correct showing strong withers and slight rise over the loin , low tail
set is accommodated by correct angulation at pelvis from which (with well bent stifle) her
rear feet sit just behind giving stability. She moves well both ways , with
purposeful drive from the rear especially ( perhaps a little close , but a lesson in sound
ergonomics in this dept , none of your cycling , knitting or stabbing actions with this
girl )
Cracking bitch well deserved; BEST BITCH & BEST IN SHOW
2nd Hopkins' TRUFFLESTAFF TOFFEE TRUFFLE
Beautiful brindle/white pied with very sound properties throughout . Placed her highly some years back as a puppy and she still impresses me now with her obvious feminine but correct features. Very unlucky to meet a bitch such as 1, who is at present ahead in her game.

1st Waters' ASHSTOCK EASTER
ROSE 
Nice red of good construction , wide front with ample brisket . A little stronger in shoulder than my preference making her appear somewhat overdeveloped in this area front on , however In profile her correctness of angulation is evident here. Good rib , underline and correct topline , correctly angulated rear .She moved better on the rear than on the forehand.
2nd Bassford-Lane's JOJALANE DIAMOND BLUSH
very typey skewbald ( red/white)…
pleasing outline , feminine look/expression . Nicely boned , good rear. A puppy with
lots to look forward to on maturity.

Pleasure to be afforded the opportunity
to go over this lovely old girl ! Her typiness and virtue are still evident at 12plus
years , lovely front with great bone , feet and width. Head is just typical Stafford
,with good stop , muzzle of good width and depth ,& round dark eye ( with
still a glint of mischief there ) only seems like yesterday she was flying round the
agility courses. thank you !
