Critiques By Mrs Donna Jobe (NZ)
I would like to give my sincere thanks to the club members who organized this show. It was an honour to be asked to judge your 30th Championship show, thank you for all of your support and the hospitality shown to me throughout my stay. It was my first overseas appointment awarding challenges – a very proud moment.
I take the judging of Bullmastiffs very seriously - my job is to judge the dogs as close to the standard as possible. The quality of the Bullmastiff was excellent, your sportsmanship and exhibiting was of a high quality.
As in N.Z. - EXHIBITORS need to remember, Clean throat - keep your choke chain clear of any loose skin, let your dog move into the stack and keep square. Please slow down on the move - he was designed to cover ground - not move as quickly as some of you think. My critique will be based on the qualities I like in your dogs and maybe a hint or two. Many thanks once again for the opportunity and thanks for your beautiful gift (I may not smile much judging but I can assure you I enjoyed every moment). Kind regards, Donna.
