Just sayin'...don't mean to go over the line...history stuff....

Irrelevant in this day and age, and in this country. So, I'd say "ancient" history stuff....

Lookin' good, Scout!

I like your kilt and the shirt you picked to wear with it. I'm a fan of drip-dry tech and fishing shirts with the kilt for casual wear.

Is Katja a pure-bred shepherd? I know you live in Maine, but even for this time of year, her coat looks too thick for a GS. I had two as a boy and love the breed very much.

Keep up the good work. You will get compliments every time.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks.

That was my thought too. Around here I'm happy that folks can identify it as a kilt more often than not, let alone identify the tartan or make a connection to any political implications it may have had. I intentionally chose a Black Watch as my first kilt since it seemed (from my research here on the forum) that it had become more or less “universal”.

Yes, Katja is a pure bred Shepherd. Her coat stays pretty thick year round which is surprising given the amount of it that she leaves all over my house! At eleven she's a senior citizen but she's a good girl and she's still got my back.

That's a good looking outfit, all you need is a German Heritage tartan for Katja !

**tulloch** · 16th June 12, 10:29 AM

Good for you. That looks like a fine kilt.

What a beautiful Shepherd. Male or female? I used to have a Dobie. Big, friendly beast he was. I miss him every day.
You sir, look great in your kilt. Carry on and great job!
