ABOUT THE AUTHOR Merle Taylor is currently the President of the Champaign Illinois Kennel Club and the Mattoon Kennel Club, as well as the Cluster Chair for the Central Illinois Cluster (formerly the Progress City Cluster) now located in Spring- field, Illinois. Merle is also a member of four all-breed kennel clubs. He and his wife, Carolyn, became involved with Scottish Terriers in 1969. From that point, they began showing and breeding on a limited scale. They have bred and shown numerous Scot- tish Terrier champions, specialty win- ners, and a national and all-breed Best In Show winner under the Jab- berwok prefix. Merle became an AKC licensed handler and has finished champions in all seven groups. He and Carolyn have owned Champion Nor- wich Terriers, Affenpinschers, Brus- sels Griffons, Bouvier des Flandres,
Pointers and a Beauceron. Their household currently includes a rescue Scottish Terrier. Merle has served on the Board of Direc- tors for the STCA. He wrote the first grooming manual published by the STCA, and was judges education chair for the STCA. He has judged numerous specialties, the STCA specialty at Mont- gomery, and the Canadian national specialty. Merle began judging in 2000 and is currently approved to judge the Terrier, Herding and the Toy group. After 38 years, Merle retired from teaching high school business in the public school system. Author’s Note: The diagrams and pictures used in this article have been copied from their original sources as they appeared. The skeleton picture (with double shoulders) and the final picture in the article were modified for their purpose. I must extend my unending gratitude to Darle Heck who, when asked, provided the lines and rul- ers on the pictures making my simple line drawings much more attractive and informative. This article originated from my investigations and viewpoint; it does not necessarily represent the views of the members of the STCA Stan- dard Review Committee.
