CAIRN JUDGE PAIGNTON 11

What is becoming the norm at far distant venues a small entry awaited me. I thank the exhibitors for their entries and giving me the honour of judging their cairns.

I have great concern that we continue to lose the qualities of what the Cairn Terrier should represent as our breed standard sets, not only in the males but today I found this creeping into some of the bitch classes. The lower classes in both sexes was disappointing. The true Cairn head and expression was hard to find. Variation in size, type, unsound conformation, heavy shoulders and excess weight, together with lack or incorrect exercise can give rise to poor movement, which was much in evidence today. On the plus side dentition has improved as had presentation, no signs of aggressive behaviour but a couple of the exhibits were overawed by the noise and atmosphere of the hall. As caretakers of our breed we need to take urgent action before it is too late.
