Callastaff Lakeland Lad

DCC & BOB

A dream of a class to judge with places decided by the narrowest of margins!
1st. Higham CALLASTAFF LAKELAND LAD managed to tick 9 out of 10 boxes for me. What a quality dog this is. As an overall package this boy blew me away! His size and balance is there for all to see. Standing four square he presents a picture in my minds eye of the almost perfect Staffordshire Bull Terrier. In his gleaming short black coat this boy has a broad skull of depth with small rose ears and dark round eyes which are placed correctly in the head. His strong muzzle and defined stop is complemented by the tightest of lips which all add up to a picture perfect expression. Regular scissor bite with large white and strong canines. A short muscular neck flows into a gun barrel front assembly and his tight well padded feet enhance his latent power when viewed head on. Enough depth of brisket here to give ample daylight without appearing "shelly". His rib is well sprung and of length to a strong loin. Hindquarters have plenty of musculation which powers him along with effortless ease. Up on his toes all the time this boy seems to know how good he is! A natural showman it won't be long before he gains his title. It was my pleasure and a privilege to award him the CC and in agreement with my co-judge BIS.
