Australian Silky Terrier

I was a founder member of Australian Silky Terrier Club and attended their very first Open Show which was jdged by Harry Glover at Gilpins Foundry in Staffordshire. It is sad that this lovely breed can’t attract more exhibitors to its ranks.  This is a breed that has over the years produced some top quality animals which have easily held their own in the strong Toy Group. 

I had only two bitches entered but they were both typical and had some quality.
