Debbie (Caspersz Lakeland and West Highland White Terriers) sent to me this picture of Roscoe where he won Best of Breed at the Sydney Royal 1999.

Looking at my youthful little Red man, I can’t help but feel a lump in my throat. Roscoe is now 12 years old and he is still as youthful and feisty. I can’t believe that time has passed by so quickly.
I still remember vividly Roscoe at his first show. He beat the very competitive smooth fox terrier who had won BIS at the previous show and took the Group under the late Mr Harry Jordan (U.K.). To say that I was pleasantly surprised is indeed an understatement. I also remembered that on the day before the show, I took a break while grooming him and brought him into the washroom for his toilet break. To cut the long story short, Roscoe managed to turn on the tap and got himself slightly wet. When I went into the washroom to bring him back to the grooming table, he was sitting on top of the toilet bowl and wagging his tail at me!
