Thank you to all those exhibitors who chose to enter their pride and joy under me. It was a very cold and wet Scottish Kennel club and the officers and committee I thank for working so hard under difficult conditions to make the show work so well. I was looking for an elegant well muscled marathon runner that would be able to keep up with a carriage for upwards of 30 miles a day.
