HANDS ON SEMINAR
On Sunday September 25th 2005 we held our third seminar. During our seminar this year we organised a 'Hands on Assessment' for those wishing to be included on the Coton de Tulear Judging List.

It was a lovely day and thank you to everyone that attended, in particular Eli from Italy who generously gave up her time once again to share her vast knowledge with us. Also thanks to Peter Jolley our President and Mary Farnes who made the day most enjoyable. Thanks also go to Chris Lawson and Aina Sherer for putting on a lovely buffet and to the two junior members whose help was invaluable on the day.

A gathering of Cotons and Coton owners was a joy to behold - 19 cotons in total with their 'servants' in tow plus two interlopers (see photos taken by Peter Jolley)..........the Maltese and a Bichon!!!!! Mia the black Standard Poodle too, but of course she couldn't come up with a too impressive impersonation of the Coton de Tulear.

Well done to those taking and passing their assessments - Ian and Val Blore, Dr. Mhairi Brown, Lesley McLeod, Hazel Gill, Chris Lawson and Zena Wallace.
