Critiques
Judge: Ms Celeste Meier
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Northern Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club for the opportunity to judge your specialty show. It certainly did take some time to finally get into New Zealand with all the distractions over the past several years.
Thank you to all the exhibitors on the day who allowed me the privilege to judge your dogs and supported me and the club with your entries and accept my decisions gracefully on the day.
Thank you to the committee for their efforts to ensure everything ran well on the day.
Thank you to my steward Kirsty and my show manager Cathy who kept the show ticking over nicely on the day.
Thank you all for your hospitality until next time, enjoy your Staffords.
