KC Breed Standard

STC Ch 22 Judge

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Skye Terrier Club for fulfilling a lifelong dream to judge the breed specialty on the Isle of Skye. As one of only three Americans to do so, I feel that I am in rarified company. Thank you for the hospitality shown to me and my fellow American friends. The entry as a whole was outstanding, as was the sportsmanship from the exhibitors and spectators. When one considers the numbers, I think the breed is in good shape. The one troubling trait that was evident was the tail carriage of several dogs. Thank you again to the club members and those who exhibited their dogs. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you. —
