CAIRN DARLINGTON 19 Judge: Mrs C M Roberts BEST OF BREED : 2355 KINTON Mrs S Ch Woodthorpe I Know The Code CAIRN JUDGE DARLINGTON 19 Thank you to Darlington Dog Show Committee for the invitation to judge the Cairn Terriers. Thanks also to Ian and Tom, my stewards who kept things in order. I found that mouths are a bit of a problem at present and that there were quite a few with dirty canine teeth. Movement is still a worry, temperaments were good. Many thanks to you, the exhibitors, for your entries and for your sportsmanship. The breed at present seems to have lost its way, let’s see if we can work as a team and pull together for our fabulous Cairns, their future is in our hands. 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Renshaw There and Back Again Under MacMoon ShCM VWR. Just shy of his ninth birthday. Dark brindle in excellent coat and condition, lovely masculine head, good depth of rib, level topline, which he kept on the move, tail set well on. Well muscled hindquarters, which gave him the drive to move around the ring. Best Vet. 1 Williams’ Glenchess High Fidelity For Sarsen. 11 month old wheaten brindle. A bit short on coat at present, and together with the wet grass it made him look all legs. Good masculine head, with a good mouth, correct, ear placement a bit wide. Good length of neck, level topline and good tail set. Well muscled hindquarters, but a little close behind. Handled well. 1 Felters & Rumens’ Landbuck Kingsman. Still quite a youngster at 14 months, and needs to concentrate, however, he is a very handsome dog, love his outline and conformation. He has a fabulous Cairn head and expression. Good length of neck, level topline and well set on tail. Strong hindquarters, however he has a tendency for his front movement to go wayward when he plays his handler up. He was worthy enough to be awarded the RCC. 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s OSW, Birselaw Come Dancing With Macmoon ShCM ShCEx. Grey brindle in the best of coats. Nice head and expression. Level topline and good tailset. Well muscled with strong hindquarters. Handled and showed well. 1 Firth’s Cairngold Chico JW. Clear red in the best of coats and very well presented. Well balanced and striking outline. I am aware that he is now a champion, so there’s not a lot I can say about this young dog. I personally would prefer him a little bit bigger, however he shows his socks off and is a sound mover. 2 Miller’s Cornton Fyne Fettle. Wheaten brindle in good coat. Not such a showman as first. Good topline and tail set. Not as good front movement as first, strong hindquarters. 1 Kinton’s Ch Woodthorpe I Know The Code. Dark brindle in excellent coat. Fabulous masculine head and expression with correct mouth, eye and ear placement. He was on his toes today and moved around the ring with ease and at one with his handler. Well muscled hind quarters that propelled him around the ring effortlessly. Well deserved CC and BB. 2 Saich’s Lindcoly Holwing Mad Murdoc. Wheaten dog in good coat with correct texture. Head not as good as first. Good topline and tailset. Well muscled quarters, moved and showed well. 3 Waugh’s Ch Tribannon Karamak. 1 Firth’s Cairngold Chiquitita. 6 months and 1 day old, clear red. What a little star. Even though she stood alone she stole the stage. Very feminine head with that cheeky Cairn expression. Everything in proportion, and I know it’s early days, but she has a lot going for her. She thoroughly enjoyed her outing and really set the bar high. She moved better than a lot of the adults. A well deserved Best Puppy in Breed. 1 Kinton’s Cloverbrook Unbreakable At Woodthorpe. 9 months old wheaten brindle. Feminine head, excellent mouth, good length of neck, level topline and good tailset. Her coat wasn’t at its best today. Very well muscled hindquarters. Moved well when settled. 1 Miller’s Cornton Eilidh Dhu. 14 month old grey brindle, nice type in excellent coat. Feminine head and expression, good mouth. Liked her overall appearance, but not as positive in her rear movement as first. 1 Ballinger’s Cloverbrook Maid For Gold. Grey brindle, with a very feminine head and expression. Excellent coat not over trimmed. Best of conformation, lovely length of neck, good topline, which she kept on the move. Best of movers as she went with drive around the ring making it look effortless. Showed well for her handler. Res CC. 2 Saich’s Lincoly Howling Whoopee. Light red, another in good coat. Very feminine head, excellent mouth. Moved and showed well. 3 Lund’s Cairngold Brandy Snap. 1 Saich’s Lindcoly Let’s Just Talk. Red in good coat.
