Best Female (BIS) & Best Male (BOS)
Judging the Raduno Dell'Anno for the Circolo Italiano Bulldog was an honour on 19th October 2024. As always, the event was marked by Italian hospitality's signature warmth and friendliness, which never faltered despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions. Unfortunately, the chill in the air and persistent rainfall resulted in severe weather warnings, which may have impacted some exhibitors' ability to attend. Additionally, some of us also faced difficulties departing from Bologna Airport due to the unusual flooding in the region. I guess this all adds to the fun!

Thanks to the committee for asking me to judge and also to my ring steward Sue.
It’s been 18mths since I last judged this breed, size was a little variable. Obviously having mixed classes always throws its challenges, but after assessing the dogs that were present males were slightly oversized and the females just a tad under. The larger dogs seemed to be longer cast in back and loosing toplines. Many of the noses had tight but not pinched nostrils, though breathing seemed unaffected. Tails were present but I would have expected them to be 1 or 2 vertebrate longer. With that said overall movement was sound, even on the wet uneven sand, eyes were clear, dark with very little wetness and heads pretty clean all-round with no unnecessary wrinkling.
Thank you for the entry on a working day for many, I was happy with the overall quality of my exhibits particularly Limit and Open classes. Also thanks to my stewards David and Mary and to the Darlington committee for my first time CC appointment.
I looked back at my foreword from my last breed appointment and I have to say the same applies even as this level. I found the quality stronger in the bitch classes then the dogs, the standard of grooming was high but the amount of chalk used was excessive, my trousers demonstrated that. Jaws need to be looked at on many levels not just with regards to the lack of width but with regards to hygiene. Too many dogs had bad breath, sore or aggravated gums due to a build-up of debris including large tuffs of fur! Eyes on the whole were large and clear, but I observed a few lashes that could be easily plucked and some lacking a well-fitting eye conformation. The most noticeable observation was the backwards step we seem to have taken with the importance of tails, I would expect to still see this as a necessity in any of the younger dogs being shown and this was taken into consideration with respect to my placings.
East of England Ladies Kennel Society Open Show - 30th July 2017
French Bulldogs Puppy (7,3abs) 1. Kuredeux Don Dada, 7mth old brindle pied. Lovely clean silhouette displaying good length of neck and topline. Well put together which was shown on the move, sound with beautiful front movement to his natural square width. Good bone to compact feet and the shortest of nails. Giving away his maturity in his head but I’m sure all will come, dark round clear eyes, well sized nose and good jaw. Correct set and shaped ears which were used well. He was shown superbly and didn’t seem phased at all. Pleased to award him BP. 2. Feniton Fredrick at Raglenary, Br male. Only young but extremely naughty/lively! Appealing expression due to correct ears, dark eye and good width of muzzle. Coat in good condition which was well marked and finished with jet black nails. Moved sound but have no doubt showmanship will improved with age, but saw enough of him to place him 2nd. 3. Winuwuk Smart Lady of Casemates |
