CAIRN JUDGE CRUFTS 11

CRUFTS MARCH 2011

Cairn Terriers – Judge Norma Newton

Thank you for an excellent entry swelled by exhibitors from several countries and with very few absentees. Many thanks to my stewards who were instrumental in my finishing in good time.

I found the entry quite varied in type, but I was still able to find many who fitted the standard as I see it. Bitches were as usual stronger in quality throughout than the dogs. Movement remains a problem, with many otherwise very good Cairns remaining unplaced because of wide fronts or close hind movement, lacking drive.

Mouths were mostly ok, a few cairns were too thin, temperaments were excellent, most coats were double and of correct texture, clean and tidy, not too ‘sculptured’

I was delighted to find exactly the Cairn I was looking for in my beautiful Best of Breed, Cannwood Remember Holly JW, she didn’t put a foot wrong and was superbly shown and presented by her handler Alison in the group, and they received a great reception from the ringside.

VD 6 (2 abs)

A good first class with 3 worthy Champions

1. Catto’s Ch/Nor/Fin/Dan/Swed Ch Birselaw Billy Fury – what can one say about Billy that has not already been said? So well made throughout, today he was in great form and condition, he never stopped showing and moved so well. A top ambassador for Cairns

2. Parker Tucker’s Ch Uniquecottage Tidy Shoes – lovely type, one I admired as a youngster, and still in very good form and coat, moved well when settled.

3. Ehrenberg’s Ch Carradine Master Tigger – Red Brindle, still very showy, masculine head, good front but lacking hair, otherwise in good coat and condition, moved well.

Special Puppy Dog- 8 entries

1. Robinson’s Cruzo Bilbo Baggins (BP) – Very nice 10 month old cream in short coat of correct texture, beautifully balanced puppy, correct neck and shoulders, top line & tail set, moved well front and rear with flowing movement. Showed well in this class but was ‘over the top’ in the challenge, a typical puppy character and I really liked him, should do well when he settles down.

2. Templeton’s Larchlea I Want to Break Free – Dark Brindle, another promising puppy, attractive head, good mouth, moved and showed well, would like a bit better spring of rib & to mature in body.

3. Waugh’s Tribannon For Your Eyes Only – liked his head and expression, good mouth, moved well, keeping his top line but dropped his tail when standing.
