CAIRN DARLINGTON 13 Judge: Ms B Shannon BEST OF BREED : 1103 PERCY Mrs J Winetta Stand And Deliver CAIRN JUDGE DARLINGTON 13 Friday September 13th, I never knew there were so many triskaidekaphobics in our breed! Joking apart, I cannot say I wasn t disappointed with my low entry. But on the day I was pleased and relieved that I had some good quality Cairns to go over and that I had some difficult decisions to make. I was also pleased to see folks who had travelled from Scotland as well as the South, so a big thank you to all my exhibitors. I would also like to thank my very efficient stewards and Darlington Dog Show Society for asking me to judge and for finding such a lovely new venue, those all weather rings adjacent to the benching are definitely the way to go for all dog shows. A shame we lose tickets in 2015. VD (2,1a) 1st Lynch s Fieldron Call My Bluff At Linacrelads. 7 year old wheaten full of himself today. Good coat, lovely head and expression. Needs to lose a little weight. Two pups of very different types and stages of development. 1st Percy s Winetta Sir Ivor. A well balanced alert 8 month old wheaten brindle. Good reach of neck, correct ear set and dentition. Plenty of forechest, standing well forward, tail set bang on. Still a baby so sometimes movement a little wayward but moved well fore and aft when settled. BPIB 2nd Miller s Cornton's Starr Of Hope. Larger all round wheaten, another wayward young boy not behaving in the smelly grass so it was difficult to asses his movement. Uses his tail well, shown in full coat. 1st Saich's Lindcoly I Believe I Can Fly. Bright red 11month old boy shown in short coat but good quality coming through. Moved ok, well balanced, desirable dark points giving that typy Cairn expression. Good forechest. Liked him. 2nd Carter s Cloverbrook Top Of The Bill At Carernwil . Lovely headed 11 month cream boy of good size, not as steady on the move as 1. Coat not of a good texture making him look larger than he is. Would prefer a better tail set as this spoils his overall appearance. 1st Waites Svendalens Snow Knight . Very attractive all male 18 month old wheaten brindle boy. Moved with drive, love his side action. Dark ears set correctly, good stop, correct mouth with large teeth. In good coat and body condition. Handled & shown well. 2nd Felters & Rumens Landbuck Bytheway . Wheaten brindle 15 months, smaller type and not as showy as 1. But well balanced with a good coat, super side gait. Attractive head and expression. If only he had a smidgeon of his litter sisters personality. 3rd Drew s Tycadno Thriller At L'Artiste 1st Miller s Cornton Coulter. Light red brindle, masculine, balanced, won this class on movement. 2nd Saich's Lindcoly Dark Knight . Grey brindle smaller all round than 1. Looks well when stood. All my eggs in one basket! Spoilt for choice. A lovely class of good Cairns. 2nd Catto s Birselaw The Thrill Of It All. Super headed wheaten brindle shown in a full coat of harsh texture. Not a large dog but well constructed with good bone and in tip top condition. Steady mover. 3rd Lamb & Saltmarsh s Renshaw There And Back Again Sh.Cm OD(1,0a) 1st Lamb & Saltmarsh s Birselaw Fable Sh.Chm . Dark brindle who for me excels in head, good size, all round male. Moved and showed well for is handler today. Coat and body in good condition. A nice honest Cairn. 1st Harland s Winetta Anticipation At Thackeston , Another veteran who loves the show ring. In good coat, slighlty overweight but not enough to spoil her steady movement. Good mouth and plenty of forechest. 1st Carter s Lentrica Secret Passion At Carernwil . Cute Wh brindle baby, only 6months and 3 days but full of confidence. nice outline, tail never flagged, moved steadily, a little on the petite side but not flimsy. No coat at present but hopefully this will come through to finish the picture. BPB 1st Ball s Tweslam Jazzing It Up At Calamondin . Love this 11month old cream pup, she moves well with drive, shown in full coat of good condition. A nice size, good forechest and reach of neck. Only lost out to MPB on ring presence. 2nd Saich's Lindcoly Golden Trouble . 10 month old in need of a new coat. Bit of a handful on the table but checked mouth ok and moved ok when steady. JB (1,0a) 1st Felters & Rumens Landbuck Xanthe . Cream with those desirable dark points. What can I say that does this beautiful Cairn with the best of heads justice? Coat texture and condition, excellent, when she stands (for an instant) she is stunning. To go over her is a treat, so well made and balanced in every place. Her tail that never stops wagging is set well on. Topline not needing a spirit level. At only 15 months she is still an unruly teenager and I for one cannot wait for her to focus on the job in hand. RBCC 1st Keeves Seveek Living The Dream Jw Sh.Cm . Another super young bitch, a coarse red coat of good condition, with dark ears, good forechest, stands well, her side movement is lovely to watch as she effortlessly glides around the ring. Good to go over, correct mouth. I would prefer more head furnishings to complete the picture. 1st Hewitt s Littleacorn Stay In Touch. This grey brindle ultra feminine bitch oozes quality. I love her make and shape, super head with a good mouth, correct earset, good stop & dark eyes. Coat of good texture and condition. Handled, presented and shown well. She won this difficult class on movement. I was pleased to award her the BCC. 2nd Percy s Winetta Miss Independent. Red brindle of similar proportions to one. Good head and expression. As ever from this kennel put down to perfection. Level topline, correct tailset, good bone and confirmation. Moved well when settled. 1st Byrne s Little Miss Tonka. Wheaten with dark points. Shown as ever in tip top condition. She has that beautiful varminty expression. So well made and balanced, good mouth, forechest, topline, correct coat of good texture, nothing overdone. Moves well, stands and shows, a super show girl. Brenda M Shannon (Judge) |
