There Are
Angels Among Us
There are angels among us
whose wings may be seemingly silent yet their tails
telegraph deeply felt emotion. As I look upon this photo
yet again, I am reminded of the dog’s innate ability to
lighten hearts, dry tears, elicit laughter, and brighten
lives. |

The
Perfect Stud Dog
Oh, how we all dream of
encountering the "perfect stud dog." I am sure that if
we gathered ten people together to discuss this subject
there would be at least fifty opinions. So, as I only
have to worry about my own thoughts on this matter at
this time, here goes a very personal outlook from
someone who has been fortunate to have had more than one
good stud dog over the years. |

Judging
the Skye Terrier
As this breed enters the
show ring the judge assesses the class looking for Skyes
of style, elegance and dignity: agility and strength
with sturdy bone and hard muscle. |

The
Lady is for Showing
The Skye Terrier Club of
American National Specialty Sweepstakes is always an
eagerly anticipated part of the Montgomery Weekend. The
Sweepstakes competition is a wonderful opportunity to
benchmark your young Skye against the other youngsters
coming along and to present your Skye to a knowledgeable
audience. Skye breeders and exhibitors view the
Sweepstakes as a bit more relaxed opportunity to simply
enjoy the exuberant puppies as they make their way
around the ring filled with youthful promise. |

Showing Your
Skye Terrier
You have been fortunate to
win the trust of a Skye Terrier breeder and have waited
seven months for your puppy to be born and mature. You
now are the owner of a promising young show-quality male
Skye. For years, the conformation ring has intrigued you
and you have finally decided to give it a try. Your
sales contract states that the dog will be finished to
his championship. Take a deep breath….now the fun really
begins! |

Training
Your Skye to be Groomed
I had the honor of being
invited to give a grooming seminar for Skye Terriers at
the Potomac Skye Terrier’s booth at the Devon Dog Show
in October, 2003. I have been asked to share some of the
tips exchanged with the attendees. |
