2006 (OCTOBER) BULLMASTIFF CLUB OF VICTORIA CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW RESULTS & CRITIQUES
Judge - Mr Andrew Burt (Vic)
Firstly, thank you very much to the committee of the Bullmastiff Club of Victoria for the invitation to judge at the show. I have attended every one of the past Championship Shows since the first one, back in 1974, at the Dandenong Showgrounds, judged by the late David White of Queensland. It is 28 years since my New Zealand import, Ch Arabella of Arapeti won this show just a month after returning from Queensland, ten months after she was stolen and three weeks after she returned to Melbourne! Thus, as you will appreciate, this particular event holds many great memories for me.
I would like to also thank my stewards, John Thompson and Annie Briglia, together with the ticket writer Debbie Parker and the VCA representative, Sue Emary. Particular thanks to Jessamy Morrissey for her outstanding effort as typist for the critiques … I am not sure she realised what a long and demanding job it would be!
Hopefully my critiques were accepted in the manner they were given – an honest and constructive assessment of each exhibit. Of course each judge has their own perspectives, and interpretations of the breed standard, and critiques and gradings will vary accordingly. The only variations in placings to gradings occurred in situations where dogs, once critiqued and graded, failed to continue to move consistently, or in one case, improved their movement as the show progressed. In the case of several exhibits who were lame on the day, I was happy to provide a critique for them, but not a grading on this occasion.
My general impressions …. well there have certainly been improvements. Generally heads were pretty good, with few very plain heads or long and snipey muzzles. Some exhibits could still improve in muzzle, and I was fairly harsh in penalizing muzzles that tapered considerably. There were some outstanding heads, which were mainly on the dogs. For me, in dogs, Ch Treebrook Desert Oak, Ch Anmenta Blonde Ambition and Bramarley Gameguard (Imp UK) were the stand out heads, with excellent square skulls, full and broad muzzles, good rise of stop and generally correct eye shape. The bitches, although generally fairly good, lacked the ‘extra something’ of a great head. Ch Grizzmuffley Scandalous together with Nightquest Makybe Diva were very good and from memory the most typical of the bitches’ heads. This is not a gender related issue, as in the past there have certainly been bitches with fantastic feminine heads that could hold their own with any male of the breed.
Toplines still need some work, but the ‘hooped over the loin’ toplines, which are something I really dislike, were much less evident on the day. However, in saying that, there were far too many steep croups for my liking, and this is an area that I feel breeders need to watch in the future. The Bullmastiff tail should be set on fairly high, with only a very slight slope of croup (the part of the back from the front of the pelvis to the root of the tail).
Mouths were generally quite good, but as usual some exhibits do need to have wider underjaws. I did spot a couple of wry mouths (type of mouth with some twist of the jaw so that upper and lower jaws are out of alignment). This is an area where breeders and exhibitors need to become more proficient in being able to detect the defect, mainly in terms of being able to correctly assess their breeding stock and make appropriate decisions as to whether to breed, and if so, what dogs and lines to breed to.
The two areas that did concern me were in the front assembly:
There were many exhibits with varying degrees of ‘east west’ feet. This problem, in examination, related to pinched elbows which result from a lack of breadth of the brisket area between the front legs, and thus generally to chest width overall.
I was also concerned at the number of exhibits with short upper arms (this is the humerus bone which runs from the elbow to the point of shoulder, meeting the scapula). When the upper arm is short, this brings the front legs forward, rather than them being placed under the withers (the highest point of the shoulder blades and the point where the dog’s height is measured). This misplacement of the front legs means that exhibits have less forechest than the ideal and the reach in front movement is somewhat restricted in many cases.
In most cases, bone and feet were pleasing. Light eyes were in the minority, and masks were dark, orbits (dark colour around the eye) were good, and ears were darker than the overall body colour, providing the correct expression desired in the Bullmastiff.
Overall, I was very pleased with the quality entry and my Challenge and Reserve Challenge winners were in my opinion excellent specimens. I would like to thank all exhibitors for the sportsmanlike way they accepted my decisions together with what appeared to be a positive acceptance of my critiques and gradings.
I must say, that it was a rather exhausting day, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was very happy with my winners. I found some classes difficult, but tried to work the classes consistently, but as is always the case in judging, there were some decisions which I found easy and others where I had to weigh up positive and negative points and make a decision accordingly.
I was aiming to find reasonable heads, good balance and substance, together with specimens with good reach, drive and construction and I felt that I was able to achieve this in my overall winners on the day. Thankyou for a great day, and below is my assessment of exhibits that placed on the day.
Good luck to you all with your future exhibiting and breeding pursuits.

Australian Bred Dog
I found I had quite a lot of weighing up to do in making my final decisions in this class.
1st: Lofthouse & Spice’s - Aust. CH Bullvalour Jacks Pryde
7 ½ year old red male. Good body proportions but a little longer than tall. Excellent headpiece. Good breadth and depth of skull. Good stop. Square muzzle. Could be a little bit more cut off in front. Excellent mouth. Good eye shape and colour. Good breadth of chest. Needs more forechest and needs to be longer in upper arm. Good spring of rib. Strong loin. Reasonably well angulated behind. Good topline and tail well set on. Well coloured but some smuttiness on the chest. Excellent head markings. Very good going away. Tends to converge coming towards me. Good side action but could do with a little bit more reach and drive. Excellent topline on the move. If this dog’s temperament is a little more ‘up’ we would see a better side gait, but pleasing for a seven year old. I actually expected him to throw the class away on his last move, but he ‘bucked up’ and moved round very well, thus beating the second dog on head qualities.
2nd: JA Valentine’s - Aust. CH Nightquest Rising Fast
4 year old fawn male. Good height and length ratio. Reasonable headpiece. Good breadth of skull. Good depth of skull. Stop could be more defined. Tapers slightly in muzzle.

Strong loin. Excellent topline. Well angulated with strong thighs behind. Good set on of tail. Excellent fawn colouring and excellent head markings. This dog is a good mover. A little close behind when going away. Good reach and drive in side action. Good topline on the move. Lost to the number one on head qualities.
3rd: A & M Smith’s - Aust. CH Anmenta Chaka Zulu
4 ½ year old brindle male. Excellent body proportions. Reasonable breadth and depth of skull. Reasonable stop. Plainer in muzzle and slightly longer in muzzle. Muzzle could be broader. A little more undershot that desirable. Good breadth of chest. Reasonable front angulation. Reasonable spring of rib and he could be ribbed back a bit further. Strong loin. Reasonably angulated behind. A little bit steep in croup. Excellent brindle colour. True movement coming and going. Good reach and drive from the side. Holds his topline well on the move.
Open Dog
1st: Marion & Sickerdick's - Aust. CH Treebrook Desert Oak
3 year old red dog. Very good proportions. Large and upstanding dog with an alert and happy temperament. Excellent headpiece. Broad and deep skull. Correct stop. I would like to see a cleaner eye shape. Broad and deep muzzle of correct length. Excellent mouth. Broad well developed chest. Reasonable front angulation could be slightly longer in upper arm. Reasonable spring of rib. Strong short loin. Correct hind angulation. Good strength of thigh. Correctly set on tail. Excellent topline. Nicely coloured apricot although somewhat two toned. Excellent head markings. Good rear action Slightly wide in front coming back towards me. Correct reach and drive in side gait. Holds topline well on the move.
This dog’s two toning was not pleasing to me, however, it is a cosmetic point, and the overall package, in my opinion, is excellent. As judges, we are not faced with perfect specimens, and its all about weighing up points, and what each judge sees as most important. This dog is large, well constructed, moves with sense and purpose and without exaggeration. His reach and drive is correct for the breed, and the topline exhibits the correct characteristics; level, but with muscling over the loin, and it remains the same on the move. Top this with a typical head, excellent expression, and he won me!
I was happy to be able to award him his Dog CC and Best In Show.

Reasonable hind angulation. With the topline, there is a bit of a dip over the loin. Nice fawn colouring with slight smutting. Excellent head markings. True coming and going. Reasonable reach and drive from the side but he appears to be a lazy mover.
3rd: B & S Wehmeier’s - Aust. CH Grizzmuffley Delirious
2 ½ year old fawn male. Good height to length ratio. Good breadth of skull. Good depth of skull. I would like a deeper stop. Nice eye shape and colour. Good breadth of muzzle. Slightly long in muzzle. A level bite. Reasonable breadth of chest. Well angulated front. A little pinched in elbow. Slightly east west. I would like to see more spring of rib for the size of the dog. Reasonable hind angulation. Would like to see a stronger thigh for his size. Nicely coloured fawn with correct head markings.
