Northern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of New Zealand

I would like to say what a privilege it was to be asked to judge the Northern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club.
The dogs on whole were good and in condition, just need to trim the nails and tails, not many overweight which I was pleased to see.
It was nice to see most of the exhibitors were smartly dressed and accepted my decisions sportingly.
I would like to thank my very competent steward Dennis Rowlands for making the show run smoothly.
At the night after the show it was nice to sit down with the committee and friends and talk about the dogs in general, there and at home
On a personal note we would like to say a very big thank you, to the show manager and his charming wife Neil & Rita Bloomer, which we with, for our entire stay in NZ, of which they gave 110 percent to the club and there guests.
