WEST OF ENGLAND SCOTTISH TERRIER CLUB.
Saturday 17th April 2010
My thanks to the Club for inviting me to judge their Spring Open Show and for arranging such a lovely sunny day to complement their delightful venue. In days of falling and disappointing entries I was pleased with mine and thank all those who attended.
I was pleased with the condition of the dogs – and also that I only found two “doubtful” mouths – this has been a concern in the past. My concern and has been for some time,is in movement – lack of angulation -front and rear – we are losing the drive that Scotties should move with - so important.
