*Alport Fire Cracker; star of the day, judged him as a young dog and I’m pleased to see he has matured into the finished article that I expected he would. Terrific head and wicked expression, shortish /strong foreface with large teeth, best of fronts with good width and ample bone, short back, wide at shoulder tapering through ribs to light loins and powerful rear quarters. His conditioning was unsurpassed today and he exuded an image of power and athleticism.

*Brindle with white front. This dog’s biggest virtue is his balance – no part is exaggerated.
A “hard as nails dog” who might benefit from not being quite as fit as this.
Beautiful clean cut head with a great expression. Very alert and on his toes all the time. Isn’t that how a Stafford is supposed to be?
Enough width in front with well- muscled neck flowing into a short coupled, strong body. Well- angulated hindquarters and a good bend of stifle. Leans more towards the terrier than many of today’s exhibits but this didn’t deter me from awarding him the CC, his 3rd I believe. Congratulations.*

*Fit and athletic looking black brindle dog with beautiful head shape and deep through skull, leading to strong under jaw that housed big canines in a nice length of muzzle.His straight and clean cur front is so noticeable. He has a deep rib cage and is well tucked up in the loins. Nice length of body but short coupled due to good angulations. Up on his pasterns and well padded feet and walked with a free flowing action whilst holding his top line level.
