Scottish Collie Club

I would like to thank the committee of Scottish Collie Club for inviting me to judge it was an absolute honor. Also a big thank you to Karen for keeping everything ship shaped and making me laugh. The weather wasnt the kindest so windy and cold but the rain kept off. Thank you for the wonderful gifts and to exhibitors for bringing their beautiful dogs. Teeth needed some attention but temprements were good, movements were also good on the whole and I was so proud to see my main winners take top honours thank you to Ms L Maxwell.
