CAIRN LKA 22 Judge: Mr P Horspool (Adaires) CAIRN JUDGE LKA 22 Firstly I would like to thank the Exhibitors for their entry, it is some what 5 years since I last judge the breed, I thought that the Limit and Open classes of both sexes contained some outstanding quality and it was a pleasure to judge them. 1 Ballinger’s Cloverbrook Game Set N Match, a silver brindle of just 6mths, great pity he was alone, however he is pleasing in make & shape, typical head & expression, good bone, correct harsh coat, moved & showed well once settled, an interesting prospect. 1 Petts’ Doonrae Sentinel, a well balanced red brindle dog, he has a good head & expression, fair reach of neck & well laid shoulders, liked his well made body & shapely quarters, moved freely & with purpose, well presented & showed well, he is still a youngster & given a few more months of maturity I’m sure he will certainly trouble the best. 2 Hiam’s Carradine Arfa Pint JW, a classy red with dark points, of a smaller frame, has masculine head with good stop, pleasing in make & shape, moved with drive, preferred front movement of 1st, good showman & was well handled. 3 Jones & Arnold’s Tycadno Tom Foolery. 1 Waugh’s Glenrood Galaxy at Tribannon, a quality dark brindle dog full of vitality, very masculine in outline, liked his keen expression with neat ears & the desired stop, good reach of neck, pleasing in body, correct harsh coat, free easy mover with good stride, another given time to mature, should do very well. 2 Lucas Seveek Country Lad, a harsh coated silver brindle, his head is typical, nice neck & shoulders, level topline & correct tailset, not the movement or showmanship of the winner. 3 Bingham’s Carradine Bumbling Boris. 1 Shannon / Storr & Middlehurst’s Brenndarcy It’s Magic (ai), a typical wheaten, standing well on forepaws, scores in head & expression, level topline, good overall make & shape, moved freely & showed well, I liked this dog very much, just felt his coat was between stages compared to those placed above him in the challange, however he was a contender for the RCC, one that can never be over looked. 2 Munday’s Lentrica Mystic Warrior, a dark brindle one that was in good condition with correct harsh coat, nicely proportioned outline, well formed head with dark eye & well placed ears, a truly honest exhibit that moved well both ways, a close decision, just prefered the forechest of 1st. 3 Byne’s Carradine Howzat Howard. 1 Firth’s Ch Cairngold Chico JW, a well known mature red, loved his size & stance, obviously seen him before & sometimes from the ringside I thought he appeared a little short of neck, however after handling him & watch him show to advantage, this is not the case, his head is masculine with a good expression, excellent depth of body with well sprung ribs, his quarters are strong with a correct tail set, moves really well, he was shown in good form with correct double coat, won the CC over some strong opposition, in the challenge for Best of Breed, I thought the bitch put a touch more effort into her showmanship. 2 Inett & Harrison’s Ch Carradine In ‘N’ Out Mr Sprout, a well made dark brindle dog of quality, first class presentation & performance, a lovely dog to go over, great outline, moved freely, RDCC, these 3 exhbits could easliy change places on personal preference, the 3rd has many fine attributes & a champion in his own right. 3 Dennis / Goddard & Waites Ch Good Times Ahead with Oudenarde. 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Dark Charmer For Macmoon Sh.CM VW, a dark brindle 8 year old, pleasing outline with typical head & expression, good confirmation, moved well. 2 Paige’s Glenrood Trojan Prince, another dark brindle of 9 years, slightly heavier in build than the winner, shown in full harsh coat, moved with drive. 1 Ballinger’s Cloverbrook Forget Me Not, a silver brindle, litter sister to the puppy dog, & the same comments apply, full of confidance, moved & showed well for one so young. Best Puppy. 2 Dennis & Waites’ Svendalens Snow Drop, a nice sized wheaten one, typical in outline, level topline & correct tailset, prefered winners head & expression, moderate bone, moved ok in profile. 3 Saich’s Lindcoly Here Comes Oh Shi (NAF). 1 Felters & Rumens Birselaw Caol Ila At Landbuck, a real eyecatcher, feminine head with a keen expression, she is shapely in outline, well set & carried tail, her red brindle coat was harsh, moved true, given time, one surely destined for the upper house. 2 Dolan’s Glenrood Midnight Spell, a dark brindle, a nicely proportioned outline, good in make & shape, moved freely & showed well. 3 Firth’s Birselaw Cora at Cairngold. 1 Tester’s Airytykes Excuse Me. 2 Metcalf-Sault’s Cannwood Can’t Get Enough, I thought these 2 were of similar in make & shape, both typical in outline, both moved with drive, the winner had the better front & coat hence the placing. 1 Inett & Harrison’s Carradine Wilma, very classy brindle with outstanding qualities, excellent coat & condition, beautiful head, appealed for outline & proportions, good medium bone, moved with purpose & put on a good performance. 2 Dolan’s Glenrood Dance Til Dusk, a good type of silver brindle with lots to like, nice head & correct expression, pleasing in make & shape, moved & showed very well, not disgraced standing 2nd in this class. 3 Soper’s Elitecharm Showgirl. 1 Felters & Rumens Ch Landbuck La Voix, a pleasure to judge this shapely silver brindle, she oozes quality & breed type, loved her head with well placed ears, good stop & strengh of muzzle, quite a naughty wicked expression, fair reach of neck, good spring of rib & level topline, well made quarters which she uses on the move, in great form, I thought her most impressive & of ideal size & balance, pleased to award her the CC & Best of Breed. 2 Firth’s Ch Cairngold Chiquitita, a beautiful balanced red bitch, perfect harsh double coat, again lovely head & expression, sound mover & assertive show girl, overcame some strong opposition in this class & the winners of Junior & Limit.
