23 April 2010 - Our Dogs


The Papillon (Butterfly) Dog Club of Scotland Championship show will celebrate the club’s 50th Anniversary this year. It will be held at Lanark Auction Market. on Saturday 22nd May with Judge Mrs. E. Anderson (Northlyte). As a memento each exhibitor will receive a specially commissioned crystal pendalogue engraved with either a Papillon head study or in repose. All Class Winners will receive a keepsake plaque specially designed and donated by Ann & John Cooper, (Ancojo). Ruth Johnston has worked hard to provide a photographic display which will include past winners at The Papillon Club Of Scotland Championship and Open Shows over the past years. Schedules are available from Ted Whitehill Tel: 01592 260872 or ted@twhitehill.freeserve.co.uk. I am sure this show will be a great success, so do support the Club, if you can stay the weekend, you will be able to show the following day at SKC.

News of a club that held its first show recently, comes from the Netherlands.

The PPVN (Papillon en Phalène Vereniging Nederland) is the new Papillon and Phalene club that has been created in the Netherlands by a group of very dedicated members and they held their first show, with gifts for every exhibitor and food prizes for all the dogs. Carine Rutten’s - Powdermill Touch the Night went Best in Show. The club has great support and has produced a super Newsletter which I believe is the work of Fransien van Linder (Fransien is a regular visitor to our shows in the UK), if you have internet access, do visit the Club’s website at www.ppvn.nl .
