CAIRN CRUFTS 2010 Cairn Terrier Judge(s): MRS S DOLAN It was a great honour to be asked to judge the Cairn Terriers at Crufts. I was very impressed with the overall quality of the exhibits shown under me and thank the exhibitors for letting me judge their dogs. In some classes I wished that I had had more first prizes to go around. Movement on the whole was very good although there were a few dogs moving close behind and without the necessary drive. Temperaments were excellent. My main winners were:- Middlehurst’s Zalazar Un Zipped! At Starveren (IMP DNK), Dog C.C. and B.O.B. Theodorsson’s Hjohoos Hjo Are My Gold Nugget, Res D.C.C.
