I was very pleased to be asked to judge Scottish Terriers and BIS for
this Club as I was a founder member and its first secretary.
I got even greater pleasure to see that the club was in fine form with
a hard working committee dedicated to putting on a first class show.
The refreshments were exceptional!
Scottish Terriers
Unfortunately the overall quality of the entry was not high,
particularly in the dog classes. The same faults cropped up time after
time . Poorly angulated and loaded shoulders were the order of the day
and many exhibits were overweight. Fronts were poor, many out at elbow
with feet turning out. There was a distinct lack of drive on the move.
On a positive note, heads were not too bad, clean skulls, balanced with
the foreface and no light eyes. Very few dentition problems.

BIS.
It is always an honour to be asked to judge BIS.
I went into the ring looking for something very special to beat my BOB
Scottish Terrier.
I found it!
The 13 month old WHWT Ash’s Hillcloud Drizzle.
Wherever I put my hands on this bitch, I found exactly what I was
looking for.
She excels in breed type . Lovely head, darkest piercing eye, correct
balance between skull and foreface. Correct ear placement. Super neck
and shoulders well angulated and with a perfect lay back.. Level
topline which she holds well on the move. Her hind action is a joy to
watch. Must have the brightest of futures.

edge and went BPIS.
