RESULTS 2004 CHAMP SHOW
Judge: Mrs R Higginson (Rodekes)
100 Dogs, 105 Entries, 34 Absentees
Although I was pleased with the quality of the winners, I found that we are losing the the depth of quality in our breed. There are to many puppies being sold as show quality when they are obviously pets. We cannot put all the blame on the breeders when judges are rewarding these dogs that do not fit the standard, so why aim to breed better stock. Dentition does not seem very high on the agenda, weak and even collapsed pasterns are getting the norm instead of the exception, undersize is being ignored, there is no room in our breed for nervousness but it is being excused, all these faults have been rewarded with top honours in the last twelve months. Surely it is time that judges read the standard and judged to it instead of looking for their next C.C. judging appointment or being afraid to offend their influential friends. Perhaps then there will be more Bullmastiffs that look like bullmastiffs and less that look like any variety mishape. The Bullmastiff is a noble breed suffering because of peoples greed and incompetence. (there goes my chance of judging again). May I add that this does not reflect on many of the dogs I judged it is something I have been observing for quite some time.
