CAIRN CRUFTS 14 Cairn Terrier Judge(s): MRS S V WATSON
CAIRN JUDGE CRUFTS 14 Cairn Terriers My thanks to Crufts for the appointment to judge at this prestigious show & the exhibitors for a quality entry especially from the Continent. Thanks also to my stewards who did a sterling job. On a general note, temperaments were fine. There were some poor mouths with not so straight teeth & very small teeth. Movement left a lot to be desired especially from the rear. Heads in most had the desired stop & correct placed ears. We have some good young stock coming through so it bodes well for the future.
