OPPOSITE GRADUATE IN SHOW
1. Crumptons Jonthill The Coalminer
Very appealing head and expression on this classy brindle and white pied dog. He has exquisite pigmentation, well placed dark, round eyes, neat ears, a good stop and a strong, clean foreface. His muzzle is of correct length, and clean with a good underjaw. A lovely straight, well boned front, his topline is great, his angulation is spot on, for me, I would just prefer him a shade broader throughout.

3. Jonthill the Coalminer
Very nice white/black pied dog, who fits the standard very well. A little bit on the top of the breed size with not enough bone for his size. Lovely head with very nice expression. Good pigmentation also around his eyes. Dark eyes, neat rose ears, definite stop. Proportioned muzzle, broad skull with good depth of underjaw. Well muscled neck and angulation of shoulders, straight front, good depth of chest. Level topline, his rib should be more rounded ribs. Hindquarters well angulated. Moved parallel front and back.

OPPOSITE MINOR PUPPY IN SHOW
1. JONTHILL THE COALMINER.
8 month old brindle and white dog. Only exhibit in the class. An upstanding dog at the higher end of the standard for size, there is lots to like about him. His head and expression is very correct, with round eyes, great depth through the skull, correct muzzle to skull proportions and a deep stop. He is well angulated and well muscled throughout, however he needs greater depth of chest which will hopefully come in time. Level topline. It was difficult to accurately assess his movement as he was quite unsettled in the ring on the day. It is always a delight to see a dog so alive to his surroundings and with the typical Stafford clown-like temperament on display, but he'll need to settle down as he grows if he is to fulfil his potential as a show dog.
