I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Officers and Committee for the endless hospitality afforded to myself and Yvonne during our two day stay in Ireland. In addition a much appreciated thank you to the exhibitors who had travelled from the mainland.

With regards to the Cairn Terriers it was a compact entry with the bitches having the overall edge on quality over the dogs. Temperaments without exception were good, a few new coats required, movement still an issue, front and back, the odd narrow skull and small teeth plus some exhibits with distinct lack of muscle tone and substance, however, on a positive note there were some very fine exhibits also there.

Puppy Dog – 2

1st - Catto's – Birselaw The Thrill of it All: Smart wheaten brindle with a good outline, moved OK on strong legs and feet, top-line and tail set fine, awarded Best Puppy in Breed, and achieved Group 3 in the Terrier Puppy Group.

2nd – Miller's – Cornton Coulter: Very similar to 1 in all departments, showed very well, needing a new coat.

Junior Dog – no entries

Post Graduate Dog -3

1st – Byrne & Inett's – Carradine Brian the Lion: Very showy brindle, moved well both ways, nice length of back and loin with good bone, jacket past it's best and would benefit from more head furnishings.

2nd – Hogarty's – Cadagio Someone like you: Rich copper brindle with strong head and expression, dark eye and correct ear placement, first rate muscle tone, however, would not settle either way on the move.

Limit Dog - 5

1st – Robert's – Cannwood Cut Above: Sound wheaten well put down in good coat, first class head, reach of neck into good shoulders, nice spring of rib drove well off strong rear quarters, awarded RDCC.

3rd – Catto's – Birselaw Bobby Darin

Open Dog – 1

1st - Hogarty's – Cadagio More than a Feeling: A first class looking male up to size, super reach of neck with a strong well furnished head, level top-line and well set on tail, powerful rear quarters resulting in good rear movement, correct textured wheaten double coat. Awarded the CC and BOB.

2nd – Hogarty's – Cadagio Turning Tables: Copper brindle in harsh coat, up to size, very alert and full of ring presence, super dark mask well boned and would not settle on the move which affected the front action.
