We are David Anderson and Ian Watt and we are based in the Lanarkshire countryside. For many years we have been active in the "dog scene", both showing dogs and David has also been involved in Obedience, competing at "B Level".
We have shown (either separately or jointly) a variety of breeds, on a very small scale, including Bichon Frise, Bulldogs, Tibetan Spaniels, Tibetan Terriers, Bouvier des Flandres, Siberian Huskies, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Standard Poodles, Shetland Sheepdogs, Leonbergers and Great Danes, spanning across the past 25 years or so.
At present, we are campaigning Japanese Chins, Chinese Cresteds and King Charles Spaniels and have always felt the strongest affinity for the Toy Group, where we have enjoyed considerable success, having won CCs in all three of our present breeds as well as Bichon Frise in the past. Having always owned a large dog in the past, we felt that we wanted to have another and we have imported an Ibizan Hound from Germany, that we absolutely adore, and hope to show him too! This is our first venture into the Hound Group.
David has also competed in Show Jumping, and owned the Ardenclutha Welsh Pony Stud where he successfully bred and showed ponies in "In Hand Classes", winning many championships. David continues to enjoy judging at Horse Shows.
We both enjoy combining hectic professional lives' and our hobbies. David works in Graphic Design and Ian was a University Lecturer for many years , having a BA Degree in Health Studies, a BSc. Degree in Biology and an M.Phil in Law & Ethics in Medicine, before pursuing a career in healthcare management. David is also an accomplished artist, painting in oil, where he specialises in animal portraits.
