Crufts

I would like to thank all exhibitors who decided to show at Crufts in these very difficult times. Most exhibitors took my decisions with grace and I believe most enjoyed their day. really enjoyed judging your lovely dogs. It is good to see that there are some outstanding stud dogs out there to help keep the breed maintaining the required standard as set out by the KC. I have been in Scottish Terrier for 42 years and judged the dogs on the day. My BOB and BOS winners were exemplary, my decision for BOB was awarded to the bitch, being lower to ground than the dog, therefore closest to the KC standard
