Judge: Mr Tommy Curd (UK) - Knockon
Result: 1st in Australian Bred Dog
Critique:

Super, brindle and white that I gave a CC to in his prime.  Punishing head, good front, perfect top line.  This dogs condition and muscle tone still puts most of the young guns to shame, a credit to his owners.

Judge: Mrs Justine Blyth (AUST) - Bustabones
Result: 1st in Open Dog 
Critique:

Brindle – Nearly 6yrs. A striking dog who stood and watched me the whole time - he never stopped showing. He was in very good condition. He has a lovely clean head, with dark round eyes and the correct short, blunt muzzle, giving him typical Stafford expression. He is well boned, but not overdone in anyway. Scissor bite. He moved with economy of effort, with reach and drive. Stood on a strong straight front, with good depth of brisket and forechest. His hindquarters were well muscled. Won a strong class on his balance and overall breed type. A quality fellow.

Judge: Mrs Lesley McFadyen (UK) - Araidh
Result: 1st in Australian Bred Dog
Critique:

Stylish black brindle powerhouse of a dog – easily the best conditioned dog on the day. He has a very deep through skull with a broad and deep muzzle, very dark eyes and small, neat ears, set just right, however to me the head is just a wee bit too powerful. His well honed body meant that on the move he showed exceptionally well with a particularly good bend of stifle. His condition is an absolute credit to his owners and something others should strive to attain – in what is after all a beauty contest, muscle tone and condition can make the difference.

Judge: Mr Alan Mitchell (UK) - Hoplite
Result: 2nd in Open Dog
Critique:

Black brindle. The great head begins with a deep underjaw, square muzzle filling out to a grand skull, neat ears and correct eyes. Lovely condition and a correct coat. Neat ears enhanced the appearance head-on and I thought long and hard before placing my first.

Critique:

Blk Brin & White. Impressive looking dog. Balanced and very clean in outline. Stationary, still gives the impression of animation. Strong head of width and depth. Neat ears and a dark eye. Defined clean muzzle with tight lips, large teeth meeting in a scissor bite. Short neck. Level topline, good spring of ribcage. Tucked up at the loins which emphasized the close coupling. Straight front, tight thickly padded feet. Turn of stifle at the hind. Moved with power and drive. Exhibited with the greatest of of expertise. Pressed hard for the C.C. however, was my pleasure to award this dog the Res. C.C. C.C. winner nicked it by the width of a fag paper! Deserving of "Runner-up Best In Show". Best Open In Show

Judge: Mrs Anne Goddard (UK) - Tophouse
Result: 1st in Open Dog
  Challenge Dog ~ BEST OF BREED
Critique:

A dark brindle of top quality with a superb head and expression. Deep throughout, showing great definition with well pronounced stop and cheek muscles, strength of muzzle and the best of underjaws. The neatest of ears and eyes set to look straight giving the desired honest expression. Clean fronted, well boned with good shoulder placement. A well ribbed body with powerful hindquarters. An active agile dog, moved and handled to perfection, with that extra special “look at me” quality that could not be denied. I had no hesitation in awarding him BOB

Critique:

31 months old brindle. Another dog of great quality exhibited in excellent athletic hard condition. Excellent head with good strong muzzle carrying excellent bite, round dark eyes, well set on ears of good size giving very nice expression. Very good lay of shoulder and excellent spring of rib, good front and deep brisket, excellent bone. Level topline and good length of back. Well angulated rear and moved well in all directions. Very close to 1st and today only lost on minor points such as tail set on which isn't quite as good as the boy in front of him (CH CHERABAH IRONSIDE (N)- BEST IN SHOW). A very good Reserve C.C.

Critique:

A star for me today. Excellent head. Short deep throughout, good stop, round eye, correct length of foreface to skull. Strong foreface good bite. His well laid shoulders gave him corrected width of front and his strong pasterns allowed him to stand up straight and true. Short coupled body, level topline. Good bend of stifle and good width to hindquarters. Moved OK. On the day this dog showed more than any other that rare blend of strength without coarseness. His alert stance and tight construction pronouncing him a force to be reckoned with. C.C. & BEST IN SHOW
