The following is meant as constructive criticism, which hopefully helps the Breed!Heads in many were plain and forefaces too long and snipy, a few also had doubtful bites. Front construction has not improved in the majority since I last judged, incorrect shoulder angulation the cause and many lacking reach. Many dogs were too narrow in body, lacking the spring of rib so required for good lung capacity. Hindquarters in many were lacking in flexibility and drive, looking quite stilted in movement. While I know coats are just a temporary part of the dog and vary with individuals, condition and time of the year, many require a good ‘tidying up’ to be more presentable. Sadly handling in many disappointed and left much to be desired, poor handling lets the dog down and the breed. Many require more table training, the breed standard calls for “standing well forward on forepaws”, not stacked like a rocking horse. Lead training is poor with many pulling all over the place, unable to walk in a straight line, letting themselves down when we had such a large ring to use. Come on Cairn breeders, time to improve. VD 1(0) 1. Lamb/Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Come Dancing with Macmoon. Dark brindle with a really nice head, well defined stop, dark eye. Well place ears and correct width of skull. Good in neck and shoulders, good depth of body but needs to carry a little more body weight. Well made hindquarters, correct tail set, good double coat, nice sound mover, BV. MPD 5(0) 1. Lamb/Saltmarsh’s Tycadno Star around Macmoon. Wheaten, I thought he had a lovely balanced shape, nice size for his age. He has a nice head, still needs to finish. Need to carry more body, Hindquarters nicely made, in good double coat but requires improvement in his presentation. Showed quite well. 2. Inett/Harrison’s Carradine Bright Cider Life. Red brindle, outline spoilt for me by his tail carriage. Nice expressive head, nice dark eye and well placed ears. Good balance in body, double coat but not at its best. He’s a youngster so hope his movement settles. 3. Pett’s Doonrae Ursa Major. PD 2(0) 1. Munday’s Furythor Reluctant Villain. Grey brindle, nice size with a good head and expression. Well made body with balance and nice overall shape. Nicely made hindquarters with a correct tail set. In a nice coat and a steady mover. 2. Saich’s Lindcoly Outta This World. Silver brindle, was VHC in MP.In this class had gained more confidence, he has a nice head and expression. Good shape once he relaxes. He actually is a nice mover when he goes and in good coat. Just needs time. JD 3(1) 1. Sinclair and Tothill’s Tycadno Quick Shot. Wheaten with a very nice head and expression. Upstanding attitude, nice balanced shape. Well balanced body with a strong backend. Nice side gait, front action needs to improve but moves soundly behind. A little too proud of his tail for me, coat requires more attention. Showed very well, BJ. 2. Shopland’s Sanderfield On The Rocks for Cherrycrack. Dark brindle with a really nice head, good stop and well placed ears. Good length of neck, nice body with a strong rear. Fails in front for me but when he settled moved with good width behind. One of those who pulls all over the place! PGD 2(0) 1. Keeves Seveek Guided Dream. Red of a smaller size, though nicely balanced. Pleasing head with a good stop and keen expression. Good in neck and shoulders, nice body with correct tail set. Coat a little open. Stands four square and a smart mover. 2. Harrison/Inett/Bateman’s Carradine My Way Lenny. Brindle with a nice head which needs to finish. Good overall shape. Has a good turn of stifle. In a nice double coat. Needs more training so his nice movement can be seen. LD 4(0) 1. Yates-Johnson’s Pendley Seafarer. Dark brindle with a really lovely head and expression, defined stop and dark eyes. Good length of neck, level back with a correct tail set. Appears up on the leg to me. Moves steadily, unfortunately his coat is in between. 2. Lucas’s Seveek Country Lad. Grey brindle of a nice size, with a pleasing head, dark eyes and well placed ears.
