CAIRN DRIFFIELD 23 Judge: Mrs Pat Clarke CAIRN JUDGE DRIFFIELD 23 I would like to thank the Driffield committee for inviting me to judge the Cairn Terriers 2023 and a big thank you to all the people who entered and gave me the lovely opportunity to judge their Cairns, which I enjoyed so much. The ground and grass were not even today so making it more difficult for handlers, but all did well. 1. Jones & Arnold’s Thomas Tycadno Tom Foolery. Lovely well balanced wheaten with correct jacket on this young boy. Correct bite, stop, eye colour, correct ear placement with super strong male head leading into correct length of neck on to well-placed shoulders, lovely spring of rib, keeping his top line on the move and good angulation front and rear. Standing well forward and moving around the ring with drive and in tune with his handler DCC. 1. Hiam’s Carradine Arfa Pint JW. Another nice brindle male, 22 months, in good coat texture and the correct mouth, muzzle and stop. Lovely head and eye shape and enough neck with a good top line and good tail carriage, moved well around the ring with drive, a lot to like about this boy, RDCC, just preferred head of DCC today. 1.Petts’ CH Doonrae Sentinel. Dark brindle, masculine head with dark eye and good correct stop, large teeth with good scissor bite, nice lay of shoulder and level top line and tail set correct. Would have liked a little more fore chest but I think will come with maturity, angulation was good and moved OK, just decided to play handler up in the challenge. 2. Shannon & Storr & Midddlehurst’s Brenndarcy It’s Magic. Wheaten with dark points, good bite and stop, correct ear placement. Good flow of neck into level topline, good fore chest and spring of rib, moved OK, just in need of more coat to complete which will come with maturity. 1. Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Dark Charmer For Macmoon. Dark brindle male with typical Cairn head and correct bite, has good stop and very neat ears, everything in correct place with this veteran boy and moved OK with his handler but just I thought a little tired today in the warm weather so lost out to the veteran bitch on movement, but a very nice veteran boy. 1.Percy’s CH Winetta I’ve Got a Feeling. Dark brindle, very attractive girl. Very feminine head with that cheeky Cairn expression, lovely length of neck into correct lay of shoulder, top line and tail set all good, and still moved with such drive around the ring. 1. Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Witches Promise. Red bitch puppy, very appealing and feminine baby with correct scissor bite and stop with lovely eye shape. Coat texture good and good reach of neck and carrying her tail well on the move and nice angulation. Enjoying her day, look forward to seeing her develop in the future. BPIB. 2. Wright’s Brenndarcy Spellbinding for Glenmonte. Litter sister to 1, not as mature as 1 yet, even though same age but sure she will catch up. Good bite and dark eye and good top line and moved ok but needs more confidence in the ring, I hope will come with practice. 1 Goud’s Vale of Atholl’s Snug in the Blanket. Lovely feminine wheaten young bitch. Caught my eye in this class, she has correct bite and very good stop with ideal reach of neck into lovely lay of shoulder and nice spring of rib, kept topline on the move. Correct tailset and very good angulation fore and rear, coat coming in correct and strong, moving well with handler. One to watch for the future. 2.Dennis & Waites’ Svendalens Snow Drop. Another clear wheaten girl with good bite, good stop, a little longer in muzzle then 1 but still maturing. Topline level and tailset correct, nice front movement but a little close behind today when moving but moved well. 3. Parkin’s Svendalens Dancing Queen. 1. Goud’s Breezy Kingussie Molly Connell. Dark brindle girl with lovely expression and head. Correct in bite and stop, neat ears and nicely bodied up, profuse coat and correct texture and showed OK. 1. Percy’s Winetta Frankly My Dear, a very attractive feminine wheaten bitch with super head with dark points. Loved everything about her but can be a little naughty in ring but today was her day. Correct bite and eye colour and shape, skull strong but feminine and neat ears. Good reach of neck into correct lay of shoulder and level top line into correct tailset, very good angulation and good movement. Well balanced. In excellent harsh jacket, groomed to perfection and handled well. BCC & BOB. 2. Soper’s Elitecharm Showgirl. Grey brindle bitch, liked her size and shape. Good bite and head shape, medium length of neck into good shoulders and level topline, nice depth of rib, moved OK with handler. 3. Inett, Harrison & Bateman’s Carradine Precious Pumpkin Pie. 1. Felters & Rumens’ Ch Birselaw Caol IlA at Landbuck, brindle bitch which I have watched with interest around the ring. A lot to like about the girl with profuse coat and typical Cairn head with correct bite and good stop. Straight front and held top line on the move and correct tail carriage, a very nice balanced bitch but today was a little off her stride and not her usual enthusiastic self but did enough for RBCC. 3.Lund’s Cairngold Brandy Snap by Jorvikairn
