CAIRN JUDGE SOUTHERN COUNTIES 12

Generally I was unhappy with the quality of the males exhibited under me at this show

I looked for a typical well formed head, free movement with a firm topline held on the move. I believe that a level topline is essential -low set tails mean that the pelvis is at the wrong angle and this hampers good hind movement and there is lack of drive. I forgave closer than ideal hind movement in order to place exhibits that had the freedom of movement and overall balance that I was looking for.

As many judges have recently commented I am also worried about the poorly constructed heads in this breed. The top skull is too narrow (sometimes flat) and the stop is poorly defined with a weak foreface.
