South Wales Scottish Terrier Club Open Show 14th October 2017

Judge Eileen S. Foy.

My thanks to exhibitors and committee for a most enjoyable show, I was pleased with the overall quality of the entry, size was pleasingly uniform and great quality in the bitches which bodes well for the future of the breed. My Best in Show was Norton’s Divadell Izzy Wizzy, an absolute joy and a credit to her owner breeder who also was responsible for the best dog. The Junior Handling class was a further family affair with Frances Norton just pipping her sister Eloise
