Scottish Kennel Club

Scottish Kennel Club - General Championship Show My grateful thanks go to the officers and committee of the Scottish Kennel Club for inviting me to judge at their double show. It is always a pleasure to judge at this show, which although a very busy show is run with absolute professionalism and good humour. Thank you also must go to my very efficient ring stewards who kept the ring running smartly all day with smiles, despite the early disruption of a fire alarm which held up judging for a while. Most of all I thank all the exhibitors who entrusted me with the evaluation of their dogs, and accepted my decisions with grace and sportsmanship.
