JUDGE – JANET MATTHEWS (JANJOMA)
I would like to thank the North West Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club Committee for the invitation to judge at their Breed Open Show. I consider it a privilege to have this opportunity particularly as it is the club that I have served on the committee for a number of years. My thanks go also to Kay my steward for the day for all the help and support and to Claire who assisted when she was able. Thank you also for your hospitality and the gift. Most importantly I would like to thank the exhibitors for bringing their dogs and accepting my decisions. I am grateful to you all as without you there would be no show. I hope you all had an enjoyable day and of course you all took the best dogs home.
