Skye Terrier Club

The Skye Terrier Club Championship Show 23/9/2023

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to the STC for inviting me to judge the Championship show, it

has been an honour. Even though I have not been around the ring for some time it was nice to see a

good turnout of Skyes' on the day. Secondly it was lovely to see lots of new faces in the breed as well

as people I have known and have grown up around, still showing.
