CAIRN JUDGE BORDER UNION 10

CAIRN TERRIER

Since it is some time since I judged the breed, this entry gave me much to think about.
There were concerns, but on the whole much pleasure, and I was pleased to see that overall things were going well.

I was pleased to see that mouths, with one exception, were excellent with large clean sparkling teeth and plenty of width to the jaw to contain them. Anyone who knows me will be aware that I have a 'thing' about mouths - they must be correct.
I think this is essentially a part of any terrier and for me comes under the 'fit for function' heading.

Coats were of good texture, clean and presentation on the whole very good. Movement, as was expected, varied from excellent to patchy wide fronts and close rears were both evident.

As I was a substitute judge, I must thank the exhibitors for accepting me with their usual grace and charm.
