om skotsk terrier under krigsåren. Intressant att notera restriktionerna angående utställningsresandet i slutet av texten. Kanske är vi med dagens miljötänk, snart tillbaka dit?



The birth of the Scottish Terrier Breeders & Exhibitors Association taken from an article written and researched by Miss Catherine Owen and I quote :-



"After the south of England Scottish Terrier Club amalgamated with the parent club STC(E) in 1925, it was felt that the large Scottish Terrier community in the south were not being catered for in an adequate manner. So a group of dedicated 'Breeder and Exhibitors' applied to the Kennel Club for recognition. This application was granted on April 10th 1934 and so the STBEA was born.



It was decided to hold a sanction show at Handel Street Drill Hall, Bloomsbury, on Friday July 6th with judging commencing at 5.15 pm. Judge Mr J. Walsh (Electra) past on an entry of 123 made up from 72 dogs in the 12 classes. Best Dog Albourne Valorous, Best Bitch Albourne Veronica and Best puppy Albourne Happy Man- a clean sweep for Mr Cowley!



Three or four member sanction and open shows were held annually until Championship status was granted and the initial event at this level was held on May 10th 1939. Mrs Caspersz was elected to judge the 130 entries from 57 dogs. Best In Show went to Heather Independence, a two and a half year old, dark reddish brindle, owned by Mr James Chapman.



All activities in the canine world were severely curtailed during the war and it was not until Mrs Ivor Jones and Miss B. Penn-Bull called a general meeting in June 1943 that a new committee was appointed and the club was re-established and Miss B. Penn-Bull was elected Secretary.



Throughout the war, dog shows remained restricted to a 25 mile radius and in the London area, apart from breed shows, consisted of 25 class variety events. In spite of the uncertain situation including the flying bomb attacks, packed crowds attended and competition was hot. At the close of 1944 membership stood at 107."

Att Humphrey Bogart var skottefantast har vi nämnt flera gånger, men idag har Skottebloggen till sin stora förtjusning lyckats hitta en tidigare okänd bild! Den är från komedin "Stand-In" från 1937, en hejdlös drift med nöjes- och filmindustrin. ...
