Terrier Club Of Scotland

Staffordshire Bull Terriers 

The Terrier Club of Scotland Championship Show Sunday 11th October 

My thanks to the committee for their kind invitation and hospitality throughout the day and to the exhibitors for their support and sporting acceptance of my decisions. Although absentees affected several classes, I was pleased with the overall quality of the exhibits present. I found dogs exhibiting good breed type, sound construction and correct temperament, with my principal winners demonstrating many of the qualities sought in the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
