RESULTS OCTOBER 2001 OPEN SHOW
Judge: Mr. Terry Monro (STORNUM)
56 Dogs, 62 Entries, 10 Absentees
I judged The British Bullmastiff League Open Show at Ashby-de-la Zouch on Sunday 7th October 2001. It was a pleasure to judge this quality entry of Bullmastiffs, more enjoyable because most classes contained a depth of quality making me work to decide placings. Mouths in general were better than I had seen and been led to expect. There were a few cases of unsoundness but I understand how difficult it can be to raise large breeds. Type, as in many breeds was varied but I was pleased with my line. My thanks to the very able stewards, the officers & committee for their hospitality and help collecting me from my broken down car. Much appreciated!
