Thank you to the officers and committee for inviting me to judge this show, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you to all exhibitors for attending and it was a pleasure to find some very nice , well presented bulldogs, notably tails are certainly straighter in number and most were loose , there were no dogs showing signs of breathing difficulties on a very warm day and my only overall criticism would be that one or two just need to find the strong tacked on shoulders typical of the bulldog.

                  MPD. ( 5 ) . 1^ST Bellerbys Jaybelabee Armstrong.  F/w 7mth ,youngster showing lots  of potential taking a very good class . Strong head qualities, length and width of skull , lots of substance and strode out with a certain confidence.
