Wonder if any one can offer practical advice, I have let one of my puppies go to a family in St Cyrus (in between Aberdeen and Dundee) and the son of the family would like to show her. My problem is that I am 500 miles away and do not know of ringcrafts in that area can anyone help? Or, is there anyone would be willing and able to offer practical hands on advice to this young gentleman? He is a well mannered 14ish year old and is intelligent and very gentle with both his new puppy and the other ShihTzu that his family have. Thank you Kate Scott

I have contacted the Scottish Kennel Club to find out if there is a ringcraft class in this area and their advice is that the person concerned should write to them requesting a leaflet on Training Classes enclosing a s.a.e. for reply. They were unwilling to provide me with the contact details of any classes in the St Cyrus area in case the location they gave out was unsuitable. Unfortunately, we do not have any exhibitors in this area either that I could phone for info on your behalf. A good source of information about local classes may be the veterinary surgeries in the area, who often have noticeboards providing this sort of information.

Useful Addresses:

Scottish Kennel Club Eskmills Park Station Road Musselburgh EH21 7PQ 0131-665-3920 http://www.scottishkennelclub.org They have a page with some classes listed so may avoid the need to write to them.

Hope this info may be of some help to getting this young chap on his way.
