"My sincere thanks to the Committee of The Scottish Kennel Club for inviting me to Judge at their superbly run show. I have always enjoyed the SKC shows right back to my early showing days and to me the shows get better. My thanks also to my two superb stewards who stayed with me throughout all six hours I took to complete my three breeds, never a complaint, always there, thank you ladies, you were excellent.

To the exhibitors, I thank you one and all, you presented your dogs in excellent condition and made my day with your superb sportsmanship, thank you all for entering, for without you there would be no show. My congratulations to the winners with the top honours, but I have to say my job was difficult as all the dogs were of excellent quality and presented beautifully groomed."
