North Of Scotland Sheepdog Club

THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND SHEEPDOG CLUB

I was delighted to be able to support the Committee of the North of Scotland Sheepdog Club as a last minute replacement for Ms Jayne Clegram who very sadly had to withdraw from her appointment and excellent entry to judge border collies at the North of Scotland Sheepdog Club open show on the 9th April 2022. Very sadly Jayne contracted Covid and had to withdraw at the last moment and this ghastly disease also affected a number of people who had entered under Jayne and therefore the entry on the day was very much reduced.
