CAIRN MANCHESTER 14 Judge: Mr Richard A Rumens BEST OF BREED : 1265 THOMAS Mr G Tycadno I Spy CAIRN JUDGE MANCHESTER 14 Cairn Terriers My thanks to the Committee for inviting me to judge the breed and for their hospitality. I would also like to thank my stewards for the efficient way they kept proceedings running smoothly. Finally, my thanks to the exhibitors without whom there wouldn’t be a show! Sadly I found a couple of exhibits who needed a good bath as coats were greasy, dirty and smelly. It was especially pleasing that there were 14 puppies and 13 juniors entered with only 1 absentee. It’s good that there are youngsters out there which bodes well for the future. PD (4, 0 abs) 1 Steele DOONRAE MONBEG DUDE. BPD. Lovely cream/brindle, 11 ½ months with good head, stop, eye, expression. Correct bite, teeth. Liked his balance, reach of neck flowing into good shoulders, level topline, correct tailset. Moved with drive and purpose. Very promising. 2 Miller CORNTON DARK CORRIE. Very dark 7 months. Appealing, balanced, true Cairn expression. Liked his carriage, eye, teeth, strong jaw, bite. Coat a little soft (but should change). A little unruly and movement was not as positive as the winner but still a baby. 3 Brennan MILLNDACK MASTER CLASS JD (8, 0). 1 Thomas TYCADNO I SPY. CC & BOB. Cream/brindle, 15 months. A most appealing young dog who excelled in every department. Superb balance. Loved his head, stop, eye, ear placement, strong jaw, big teeth. Medium bone. Profuse, double coat of correct texture. Level topline, tailset as it should be and tail carried at correct angle. Pleasure to handle on the table. Muscled rear quarters. Spot on front and rear movement and never flagged. 2 Inett & Engebretsen CARRADINE DEXTER. Dark red/brindle, 13 months and still maturing. Liked his head, ear placement, eye, expression, teeth, bite. Coat is shorter than winner. Good balance, topline and movement. 3 Currie STIRLINGVIEW SUPERHERO PGD (1, 0) 1 Waugh TRIBANNON WAR DANCE. Standing alone, well presented light red/wheaten, quality coat, dark eye, pleasing head and expression. Moved well fore and aft with the necessary drive. Retained his topline while going around the ring. Good reach of neck but a shade long in the back. LD (5, 0) 1 Waites SVENDALENS SNOW KNIGHT Res CC. Balanced wheaten/brindle, masculine head, liked his eye, stop, strong jaw, good reach of neck, level topline retained throughout, profuse double jacket with harsh outer coat. Moved true, going and coming. A typical workmanlike Cairn who should be troubling the best. 2 Bradshaw & Shannon NEWFIELD HARVEST MOON OVER BRENNDARCY. Lovely red brindle with a typical head and expression. Big teeth, proper bite. Good bone. Excellent coat, put down well but tail needs some attention. 3 Byrne & Inett CARRADINE BRIAN THE LION OD (5, 1) 1 Bateman & Gompels CARRADINE TERRIES TIPPLE. Cream/brindle, balanced, presented well with a good quality coat. Keen expression. Liked his eye, bone, front, topline, tailset. Front movement and side gait good but a little less positive from the rear. 2 Confue U’JINN MACDONALD. Dark grey/brindle. Balanced, in profuse, harsh coat.

Carrying her age well. Good coat, head, dark points, dark eye, mouth, bone. Moved steadily. Little separated these two. PB (10, 1). A well filled class of delightful youngsters. In the absence of a minor puppy class age difference was obvious. 1 Confue ANJOFRA MAD ABOUT ME BPB & BP. A lovely 6 1/2 month red/brindle who is for me exactly how a puppy of this age should be. Eye catching, with charisma. Right for size, I liked her balance, head, mouth, ear placement, inquisitive expression. Alert. Quality puppy coat. Lovely back end, super driving rear movement. Very promising. 2 Waugh TRIBANNON ON TIP TOES. Another of 6 ½ months. Light red/wheaten, bigger than winner. Balanced and in good coat. Liked her head, keen expression, good mouth. Another who knows how to move with that all important drive, and another to watch as she matures. Two lovely puppies. 3 Shannon & Storr BRENNDARCY TOMMALISE JB (5, 1) 1 Shannon & Storr BRENNDARCY DIZZIE RASCAL. Red, 13 months with super quality coat. Liked her bone, teeth, alert expression, topline and spot on tail set. A balanced Cairn underneath the coat. The visual effect could be improved by removing some coat from around the neck. A little naughty on the table. 2 Weinberger CORRENIE LUCK BE A LADY. Nearly 16 months dark red brindle. Good mouth, teeth, bite reach of neck. Liked her tailset and coat. Well muscled rear end and moved steadily. Slightly shorter in back than winner 3 Randall CLOVERBROOK WOT A SURPRISE PGB (7, 0). 1 Petts DOONRAE LEXICON OF LOVE. CC.

Liked her feminine head and expression, teeth, strong jaw, bite Correct tailset and level topline which she retained on the move.. Correct rear angulation provided good drive and movement. Handler got the best out of her to advantage. 2 Keeves SEVEEK LIVING THE DREAM JW Sh.CM. Red bitch, proper double coat, harsh outer coat. Handled well on the table. Good reach of neck, rib cage, muscled rear and angulation. Level topline, correct tail set and good bone.
