Because of the heavy showers judging was inside but fortunately the ring was of good size and meant that movement for good or ill was easy to assess. There were many good Cairns in Post Grad, Limit and Open classes of both sexes. The competition in those classes was strong and on a different day the placings may have been different. There were a limited number of puppies entered (especially dogs) perhaps due to the ever rising costs of entries and travel. I hope there are some good Cairns waiting in the wings at home to be brought out later as they mature and their elders, in the more senior classes, leave the stage. Movement, while seemingly better in the senior classes, was still somewhat of a problem. I like a Cairn to be free flowing which is best seen when moving with drive on a loose lead and in a straight line going towards the judge and away. Several Cairns were pulling on the lead causing them to move in a crab like fashion. One or two others were strung up causing their front feet to lift off the ground. I also like a Cairn to be alert with a natural inquisitiveness and curiosity about what is going on around them. Although some Cairns will stand like statues this, for me, isn’t important, but they should, nevertheless, be aware and responsive to their handler. MPD (3, 0 Abs) 1 Newton’s STRATINVER SPECIFICATION. Balanced cream, 8 ½ months in full coat. He is a big dog for his age. Big teeth with correct bite. Wayward on the move. 2 Goldfinch’s KANAWHA WHATATHRILLER. Raw red/brindle baby just 6 months old. Balanced with level topline, big teeth, good eye (shape/colour). Plenty of time to develop. 3 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s RENSHAW THERE AND BACK AGAIN PD (1, 0) 1 Carter’s CARRADINE ALFIE THE GREAT AT CARERNWLL. Standing alone. 11 ½ months grey/brindle. Liked his reach of neck, shoulder placement, tailset, topline, coat OK but lacked drive from the rear. JD (4,1) 1 Templeton’s LARCHLEA I WANT TO BREAK FREE. Dark brindle, excellent balance, dead level topline, correct tailset, standing well forward as he should. Liked his head, eye, mouth, bite, teeth and his mischievous expression. Very sound mover. Should have a bright future as he continues to grow and mature. 2 Braybrook’s CLOVERBROOK CODEBREAKER. Grey upstanding dog in full coat nearly out of Junior. Another with level topline, proper Cairn head, good jaw, big teeth, ear placement. Not quite the expression of the winner and less settled on the move but a quality specimen. 3 Peer’s TWEEDISLE SEA SCOUT PGD (7,0) 1 Inett & Bambridge’s CARRADINE CRACKAWAY JACK. Balanced red/brindle with a good (but short) coat. Moved very well while retaining his topline. Good head, deep stop, dark eyes of correct shape giving the desired Cairn expression. Handled well on the table. Res CC. 2 Tutchings’ TRIBANNON GYPSY KING AT CROWNEAST. Balanced cream up on the leg with good reach of neck, well set on tail, short of coat. Keen expression and very alert. 3 Confue’s ANJOFRA I’M NOT GOING JW LD (8,1) 1 Thompson’s CASTLELINE BANG ON TIME. Lovely type of wheaten/brindle. Not a big dog (not a problem) but balanced. Moved very well fore and aft. Reasonable coat and liked his head/eye/stop/ topline and tailset. 2 Shannon & Storr’s BRENNDARCY TROUBLE AT MILL. Red/brindle balanced in good coat. Liked his head, topline, tailset, ear placement. Seemed to be a little lethargic today and lost out on movement to the first. 3 Catto’s BIRSELAW FOLLOW YOUR DREAM OD (7,1) An impressive line up of top quality Cairns. 1 Shopland’s CHERRYCRACK BLACKADDER. Dark red/brindle masculine workmanlike and balanced Cairn who fits the standard perfectly. Medium in everything. Good coat, well made through and through. Liked his head/eye/stop/mouth/bite/neck. Showed well today and moved with drive and purpose. Delighted to award him CC and BOB. 2 Weinberger’s CH LARCHLEA COME FLY WITH ME TO CORRENIE. Similar type to 1. A dark red/brindle dog in lovely coat of correct length and texture. He has a good head with the correct eye shape, colour and ear placement giving him that desireable expression. Today he didn’t move as effortlessly as I would have liked. He is a worthy Champion and pushed hard for the Res CC. 3 Smith’s CH ROCASOVALE RAZZLE DAZZLE MPB (4,0) 1 Moseley’s SPAWYCHE ELIZABETHAN DREAM. Likeable 7 ½ months cream puppy with good reach of neck. Mischevious expression, sweet head, tail well set on, showy and moved very confidently. Promising. 2 Shannon & Storr’s BRENNDARCY SNEDRONNIGEN. Similar type to 1 and only just 6 months. Very much a raw baby but is balanced and has a good coat. Movement a little erratic and needs time to develop. One to watch. 3 Ballinger’s CARRADINE MINNIE THE MOOCHA PB (6,0) 1 Yates’ & Johnson’s PENDLEY PLAYAWAY. A very nice cream/brindle quality bitch. Nearly 12 months. In good coat, balanced. Has a keen expression, nice dark eye and another who handles well on the table. Good spring of rib, muscled hindquarters which propelled her with drive. Best Puppy 2 Thompson’s CASTLELINE PEGGY SUE. A lovely wheaten with an excellent head and good expression, ear placement. Good coat. Carried herself well and floated around the ring.

Short of coat. 2 Weinberger’s CORENNIE I DO BUT I DON’T. A nice type of Cairn. Balanced with a good coat, typical head and wicked expression. Decided not to move well so lost out to the class winner. PGB (16,3) 1 Dolan’s GLENROOD MASQUERADE. Quality wheaten in good coat, excellent condition all round. Liked her reach of neck, topline, tailset. Good head/eye. Alert, showed and moved well. I see she has the same sire as the BOB winner and is not yet two years old so another to watch with interest. 2 Yates’ & Johnson’s BIRSELAW ONLY MAKE BELIEVE TO PENDLEY. Heavier build than the winner but a balanced, sound grey/wheaten. Liked her tail set, topline, bite, teeth and in good coat. 3 Osborn’s TWESLAM WINTER MAGIC LB (11,3). The first four in the class displayed all the qualities one would expect at this level. 1 Harding’s CANNWOOD REMEMBER HOLLY JW. A wheaten of excellent type. Superb balance, so feminine with a beautiful head and expression. Ears with lovely dark points and a dead level topline. Coat in good condition and presented to perfection. Her movement was true and she showed all out to win CC. 2 Catto’s BIRSELAW ANY DREAM WILL DO. Heavier built than the winner but another class Cairn from this kennel. Lovely wheaten in full coat with a beautiful head giving that essential Cairn expression. Pleasure to see moving across the ring showing her level topline, spot on tail set.

CAIRN JUDGE THREE COUNTIES 11

Three Counties Championship Show

Wednesday 8th June 2011

My thanks to the exhibitors for their entries, especially as this was a mid-week show and many exhibitors had travelled long distances. Because of the heavy showers judging was inside but fortunately the ring was of good size and meant that movement for good or ill was easy to assess.

There were many good Cairns in Post Grad, Limit and Open classes of both sexes. The competition in those classes was strong and on a different day the placings may have been different. There were a limited number of puppies entered (especially dogs) perhaps due to the ever rising costs of entries and travel. I hope there are some good Cairns waiting in the wings at home to be brought out later as they mature and their elders, in the more senior classes, leave the stage.

Movement, while seemingly better in the senior classes, was still somewhat of a problem. I like a Cairn to be free flowing which is best seen when moving with drive on a loose lead and in a straight line going towards the judge and away. Several Cairns were pulling on the lead causing them to move in a crab like fashion. One or two others were strung up causing their front feet to lift off the ground.

I also like a Cairn to be alert with a natural inquisitiveness and curiosity about what is going on around them. Although some Cairns will stand like statues this, for me, isn’t important, but they should, nevertheless, be aware and responsive to their handler.
