Best Puppy SHANTALLAH MORNING DELIGHT
I thank the committee of the Bulldog Club of Scotland for inviting me to Judge their Championship Show on the 5th October 2013 and for the hospitality provided to my wife and I, also to my stewards (how often does a club provide Championship Show Judges as stewards?)for their sterling work on the day, not forgetting the exhibitors many of whom had travelled many many miles to get to the show entered 100 dogs with 107 entries and who accepted my decisions in a sporting manner, there were 25 absentees... Although much has been done to improve the health and bodily characteristics of our breed we seem to have forgotten that the head is also very important. Some of the youngsters had very narrow forefaces lacking filling under the eyes and several exhibits in many classes possessed round heads and not the brick shaped head with good length of skull which defines the breed, lighter eyes are becoming more noticeable and although may be forgiven momentarily according to degree it is important these are bred out and last but not least too many had narrow nostrils. Bulldogs need to be walked on firm ground preferably concrete or tarmac and this will benefit feet, several were presented with long nails and toes beginning to splay.
