CAIRN JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 13

Cairn Terriers

A very nice entry of 95 dogs & only one absentee among the males, most unusual these days. I found the lower dog classes very difficult & a little disappointing but OD more than made up for it with 10 contenders & close decisions. The bitches were much better, more even for type, size & quality. I had to use a whole packet of wipes as some were shown dirty – natural appearance yes but sticky, smelly coats no, not in my book.

Lovely temperaments throughout, Cairns like to participate being bright & inquisitive & I never have much trouble getting them to respond.

Some are getting far too big though & that needs watching.

MPD (1)

1 Mears’ Glenmear Looks Like Fun Gethlee, 7½ months, well up to size, masculine head, dark expressive eyes, fit & well conditioned, happy relaxed showman. Still has a lot of puppy coat & needs to settle in movement.

PD (4)

1 Day’s Cherrycrack Ludo at Trekhilli, 11 months, son of CC winner, excellent profile movement, good coat texture, well bodied, high spirited showman. Well handled & conditioned, dark eyes. Reluctant to use his ears. Well proportioned, up to size. BP;

2 Rouillon Stephanie’s Hummer De La Terrardiere, 11 months, personality plus, eyes full of expression. Could move with a bit more reach in front. Good coat & body, showed non-stop. Front needs to strengthen;

3 Robets’ Cannwood Royal Appointment.

JD (6)

1 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Borgen, 15 months wheaten, quality head, good body & bone, moved & showed quite well, well fitting coat, well set & carried tail;

2 Currie’s Stirlingview Stunning, 18 months, serious showman, good bone, legs & feet, keen expression, excellent coat texture, moved OK, well handled. Doesn’t want to carry any more weight;

3 Pearson’s Cloverbrook Special Effect.

ND (4)

1 C Special Effect, attractive head, keen expression, good body, coat & condition. Failed a little in topline. Moved & showed OK;

2 Shopland’s Hjohoo’s A Kind Hjo Can’t Find at Cherrycrack, just 12 months, harsh jacket, showed well, good body, looked well from the side going round. Ears a bite wide set when not fully focused;

3 Coffell’s Cloverbrook Crusader at Ometto.

GD (4)

1 Burgin’s Noncom Hugo First, splendid showman, in good form, typical head, dark intelligent eyes, very good coat, firm body, well muscled, moved well. Comfortable winner;

2 Coffell’s Ometto I Am The One And Only, young looking, attractive head, excellent pigment, well proportioned, moved & showed OK. Not using his tail, needs time;

3 Fortune’s Eglish Spitting Image with Essdeeeff.

PGD (3)

1 Fortune’s Eglish Willies Wee Man with Essdeeeff, no more weight please like his brother who was 3rd in GD. Masculine head, good ribcage & depth of body, showed steadily. Coat coming in;

2 Brennan’s Milindack What News Watson, failed in topline to 1 & not putting all in on the move. Pleasing head, dark eyes. Coat could have been better presented. Feeling warm under the lights.

Lovely class.

2 Felters & Rumens’ Ch Landbuck Tillisch, when they first went round I thought this could be my winner. Good to go over, attractive head & eyes, well proportioned, great coat & condition, moved well, strong quarters, moved well. I took too long judging this class & Tillisch lost a bit of his sparkle at the end. RCC;

3 Roberts’ Cannwood Cut Above.

JB (12)

1 Petts’ Doonrae Lexicon Of Love, won a very good class. 16 months, real eyecatcher who performed well throughout. Broad skull, very correct in head & expression, coat just right, firm body & topline. I liked her size & type, moved well, consistent showgirl. Gave the CC winner a good run for her money & was not far behind. Bright prospect, well handled. RCC;
