Northern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of New Zealand

I was greatly honoured to have been invited to judge at this very well run Show and generally pleased with the overall quality of the exhibits. My thanks to all for the hospitality which was second to none and to my ring steward who helped to make my day run without a hitch.
