THE BARBADOS KENNEL CLUB All Breeds Championship Dog Show 10 th October 2010 Judge: Mr. Stuart J. Mallard Our last Barbados visit was very special giving us both treasured memories. It is a great honour to be invited back to judge your show and wonderful to renew old friendships and to make new ones. The weather was sublime and a real bonus, not having to plod around in mud! Whatever the breed the first rule of thumb is temperament, I congratulate all exhibitors for showing charges that were exemplary in this respect. I was also impressed by the manner in which all dogs were active, fit for function and able to cope with the climate, in particular the heavier and bull breeds. All exhibits were in good condition although a few lacked muscle tone. Thank you for allowing me to go over your dogs and for accepting my placings in a sportsmanlike manner. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with you all and look forward to meeting up either here or in the UK. Bull Terriers Terrier Group OD(1) Ist No 1, Mr. N.
