𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻!
The critiques from our March 22nd Championship Show, judged by the ever-discerning Nico Du Preez, have officially landed! Exhibitors, check your inboxes—we’ve emailed them directly, and they’ll also appear in the upcoming club bulletin (available to all financial members).
It was an absolute delight to welcome Nico to judge for our humble (but mighty!) little club. He’s penned a thoughtful and charming note alongside his critiques, proving once again that he has an eye for dogs and a heart for detail.
Prepare to read, nod, and maybe blush a little—your pups got some serious praise (and maybe a polite suggestion or two)!
"What an absolute privilege it was for me to have judged this prestigious championship show. I would like to thank the committee for the invitation and the trust they put in me to adjudicate at this event and to the exhibitors who showed their lovely Bullies under me with such excitement and good sportsmanship. It was absolutely delightful to have judged your beautiful dogs. Congratulations to all the winners on the day with taking home the honours, well done!
The Club Committee presented a super “world class” event, with beautiful prizes and awards, taking meticulous care of every little detail with all the trimmings and paraphernalia. The sponsors were also just marvellous and very generous indeed. Thank you to one and all who supported this event. Congratulations to this very hard-working team, it is, nowadays, rare to find people who are absolutely dedicated and task orientated and hell bent on making the shows a pleasant and memorable occasion. Well done, you guys rock! (I just love the front page picture of the catalogue!!)
A special word of thanks to my very colourful and able Ring Steward, Rob Ellis, for being such a great sport and for creating a lovely amicable atmosphere around the showring, it was just a marvellous experience working with such an astute gentleman and dog-lover.
To all my newly acquainted Bully friends, it was an absolute pleasure meeting one and all of you and for sharing so many laughs and good times. I trust that we shall meet again in future. I had an absolute great time in NZ and I am looking forward in continuing the wonderful opportunities and experience that Bull Terriers have brought to my life. Take care and good luck to you all!"
