National Dog Show Handler Kilted

[Thunderbolt]

I happened to see him. Full get-up evening wear, PC, black fur sporran and bowtie. Didn't recognize the tartan, but it was a dark blue or green based one.

I usually only see the terriers because I like the Westies (I have two of them).

I wonder if the swing of the kilt helps to emphasize the swing and length of the puli's coat...

I was pleasantly surprised to see this dog handler wearing a kilt. The tartan appeared to be blue with wide purple stripes and thin white stripes, something like the Pride of Scotland tartan. One of the announcers said the handler always wears a kilt when showing dogs.

I thought the PC made him look overdressed, but he wore the kilt well. I don't think I would have been brave enough to wear a fur sporran around a large number of dogs.

To a owner of a Westie there is only one breed IMHO. I was blest with one for ten happy years.I like you always watch for the Westie and cheer them on.
I didn't see the dog show and missed the kilt but have wondered if someone would ever show a Westie while wearing one, it would indeed be a winning combination! Whatever the breed though good on the handler for wearing the kilt.

Disclaimer: I am hoplessly and forever biased when it comes to the West Highland Terrier and Kilts. They are among the best that has been bestowed on humble mankind,

Slainte!
