Darlington 14 Judge's Critique

CAIRN DARLINGTON 14 Judge: Mr D G L Winsley BEST OF BREED : 1119 THOMAS Mr G Ch Tycadno I Spy CAIRN JUDGE DARLINGTON 14 Cairn Terriers My general comments are meant as constructive, heads remain quite mixed in good type, many lack the correct proportions & muzzles are getting quite snipey! There were a few mouths with small teeth & I found small black eyes creeping into the breed. Coats & presentation were mixed, movement remains poor & needs serious attention from breeders. Dog showing is an expensive past-time, the Standard asks for the dog to stand ‘well forward on forepaws’, so why are so many stacked like ‘rocking horses’? Many dogs are untrained & poorly handled? VD (2,1a) 1 Parkin’s Roachdee Mystery Of The Full Moon, 8 year old of a nice size, pleasing head with a good stop & keen expression. Good neck & shoulders, a little wide in his front. Nicely balanced body with good hindquarters, correct tail set & carriage. In good coat, moved well behind. BV. MPD (3,1) 1 Currie’s Stirlingview Play The Dice, wh/br who has a nice head & expression, well placed ears. Good neck & shoulders, front OK & good topline. Nicely constructed body but could carry a little more body condition. Tailset correct, moved well behind, in nice coat just needs to be taught better showmanship. BP; 2 Clarke’s Svendalens Perseverance with Lentrica, silver & a raw baby, has lots of time on his side. Needs to improve in front, would have preferred a slightly shorter foreface. Lovely body shape, good turn of stifle, correct tailset. In nice condition. PD (2) A. JD (0). PGD (6,1) 1 Inett & Engebretsen’s Carradine Dexter, this r/br commands your attention as soon as he enters the ring. On his toes a little too much which affected his movement at times. Masculine head, keen expression. Good neck & shoulders, nice front with a really well balanced body. Excels in turn of stifle & knows how to use his backend on the move. Tailset a touch higher than I like but carried his tail bang on top. In very nice coat & condition. He should gain his title very soon, today was the RCC winner; 2 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Limited Edition, red with a very pleasing head & expression. Correct body shape, size & condition, pleasing front construction. Not in the best of coats today & needs to settle when moving; 3 Currie’s Stirlingview Superhero. LD (6) 1 Shopland’s Hjohoo’s A Hjo Can’t Find on Cherrycrack, r/br, medium size with a balanced shape. He has a pleasing head, well defined stop & good expression. He has a nicely made body, good profile when on the move. Good turn of stifle, correct tail set, correct textured coat. Could be more positive in his front action, but no problem with his driving hind action. Showed well; 2 Waite’s Svendalens Snow Knight, pleasing black masked wh/br, nice dark eye & keen expression. Good neck & shoulders, correct topline, showing & moving well; 3 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Renshaw There & Back Again. OD (4,1) 1 Thomas’ Ch Tycado I Spy, wheaten of the correct size & shape. Masculine throughout, nice head with the correct eye colour, earset, well defined stop & well filled muzzle. Good length of neck which blended into his well angulated shoulders. Correct body length, good depth of ribs, level back & tailset in the correct place. I liked his turn of stifle, short hocks & well defined parallel driving action. In nice coat & condition, showing well. CC & BOB; 2 Percy’s Ch Winetta Stand And Deliver, another nice male, r/br with a nice head. I thought he was a little short of head furnishings, which detracted from his expression. Good neck, well made body & balanced shape. Disappointed me in front, his hindquarters are well made & he has a good driving action. Shown in nice coat & condition; 3 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Fable. VB (1) 1 Ball’s Tweslam Izz Wizzy Get Bizzy, red girl of 11 years, pretty feminine head & expression. Would have liked a little more neck for balance, well covered body. In nice coat & condition, moves well in both directions. Showed well. MPB (4) 1 Drew’s Miketos Marvelous Fiona at L’Artiste, I loved this red baby, all together for one so young. She has a very nice head with a well defined stop, correct eye shape & colour. Nice length of neck which blended into her topline. Well made body & balanced shape, good turn of stifle. Correct tailset, nice tight coat of the correct texture. Moves well both ways, I shall watch her future with interest; 2 Thomas’ Tycadno Miss Moneypenny, a r/wh who is still quite raw at present. Nice outline, good body & well made hindquarters. Needs to be more positive in front, but very sound behind. Just needs time to mature; 3 Shannon & Storr’s Fortune Teller . PB (3,1) 1 Thomas’ Tycadno Morning Star, wheaten with a lovely balanced outline. Pleasing head & expression, good length of neck with correct shoulder angulation. She possesses a very good body having the correct length of back & depth of body. Well made hindquarters which she knows how to use. Showed steadily; 2 Osborn’s Tweslam Born To Bewitch, wheaten, unfortunately not in the best of coats today. Pleasing head, nice dark eye & expression. Good front, balanced body with correct tailset. Moved steadily but not in the condition of 1. JB (1) 1 Waites’ Seveek Snow Angel with Svendalens, silver/br, not long out of puppy, of the correct size & nicely balanced. One of the few here with good feet! Well made body, good bone, correct tailset & good double coat. Moved & showed well. PGB (6) 1 Percy’s Winetta Duchess Dora, feminine r/br who has a very nice head with a dark eye & good expression. Good in neck, shoulders & front. Well balanced body, correct outline with good tailset. Well made hindquarters, in nice coat & condition. Positive mover both ways, showed well & in unison with her handler; 2 McGrath’s Brenndarcy Cinnamon Girl, red with a nicely made head & expression. Feminine outline, nice body with correct tailset. In nice coat & condition, moves & shows well; 3 Inett, Harrison & Clayton’s Carradine Secret Snowdrop. LB (6,2) 1 Carter’s Brenndarcy Dizzie Lizzie at Carenwil, very nice wheaten, very pleasing in head & expression, correct ear placement & dark eye. Keeps her well balanced outline on the move as well as when standing. Mature in body, nice turn of stifle with a good tailset & carriage. In excellent coat & condition, well handled to get the most out of her, a soundly moving girl; 2 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Dizzee Rascal, red daughter of 1. Similar in head type to 1. Not as balanced in body but good in neck & shoulders. She has the correct coat & condition. Not so positive in movement as her dam, showed well; 3 Shannon & McGrath’s Brenndarcy Bit Of Bother. OB (7,2) 1 Bateman & Inett’s Carradine In Love With Amy, silver who is not overdone in any way. She has a nice feminine head, dark eye, well defined stop & correct width of foreface that many lacked. Medium length of back, good spring of ribs & enough coupling to give flexibility. Straight front, nice depth of bone, strong muscled hindquarters. Correct tailset, in nice coat & condition, moves & shows well. CC; 2 Felter & Rumen’s Ch Landbuck Xanthe, wheaten who stands out, unfortunately she can be her own worst enemy. She is so full of herself that it’s difficult to assess her movement. She is very feminine & has the head to go with it. Good neck with a nice body shape. She has two coats so needs some attention there. Showed in an excited manner but still worthy of the RCC; 3 Osborn’s Tweslam Thistle Be Magic. DAVID WINSLEY |
