Windsor 22 Judge

CAIRN WINDSOR 22 Judge: Ms Louise Peers CAIRN JUDGE WINDSOR 22 Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge at one of my favourite shows, having judged here previously when the breed had no CC’s. I found the welcome and hospitality just as warm, and the show well run. The new layout worked so well too. Thank you to all exhibitors for giving me the honour of going over your dogs - not all my decisions will have been welcomed, but hopefully you all realise that this is the opinion of one judge, and another will see things and prioritise them differently to me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, however, have noticed a few issues creeping into our breed, and lack of quality in stud dogs is most worrying for our future. Having said that, I am pleased with all my main placings. 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Bireslaw Dark Charmer For Macmoon ShCM VW. 8 year old male Grey brindle, good head shape and nice expression, good length of neck, leading to good lay of shoulder, giving a good straight front. Holds a level topline on the move, nicely muscled hind quarters. Won the class on his showmanship. BV. 2 Keeves’ Ch Seveek Hopes ‘N’ Dreams. Seven and a half year old bitch, lovely head and good eye shape giving a sweet expression. Correct angulations both front and rear, moved well, lovely harsh coat, but just didn’t look like she wanted to be there today. 3 Paige’s Glenrood Trojan Prince. 1 Hiam’s Carradine Arfa Pint. 9 months old red with dark points, head of good proportions, good stop, with broad muzzle and correct scissor bite, correct length of neck well set onto clean shoulders, correct shape of ribcage, loin and rear angulations good, with well set on tail. If I was to be picky, would like a touch more length of forearm (but not a lot), and obviously for one so young, he still needs to mature. Moved with drive and so much to like about him and his overall showmanship won him top honours today BPD, BP and later challenging to win DCC. JD (3,1) 1 Lucas’ Seveek Country Lad. Brindle with correct skull, good stop, dark eye good width of muzzle and correct size and neat ears. Nice size, with correct bone, length of neck is correct, placed onto good shoulder angulations, ribcage of correct shape, and loin ok. Movement is good, but still needs to tighten slightly in front held a level topline. Nice harsh coat. 2 Waugh’s Glenrood Galaxy At Tribannon. Dark brindle, loved his head, not as balanced as first, moved close in the rear. 1 Parker Tucker’s Uniquecottage Grey Borage. Wheaten with dark points, masculine head with strong jaw. A lot to like about this boy, correct bone, nothing overdone on front or rear angulations, held a level topline and moved soundly, showed well and at one with his handler, and stood well forward giving a lovely outline. Double coat. 2 Byrne’s Carradine Howzat Howard. Dark brindle, nice size, but possibly not settled in himself today. Nice head and eye, good ribcage, and length of loin, held level topline on the move, another steady mover, but preferred front movement of first. 1 Parker Tucker’s Tom Trick’s Incredibly Ilay Of Uniquecottage (Imp Swe). Such a pleasure to go over this boy. Masculine head, with good expression, good width of muzzle and infill under eye. Good lay of shoulder, good depth of rib, correct bone, and good feet. Correct size all over, moved with a level topline well set on tail and moved with rear drive. Coat of correct texture, and profuse! Just missed out on top honour but pleased to award him RCC. 2 Hiam’s Carradine Podgy Paddle. Not as balanced as one, had a tendency to move slightly wide in front, didn’t have the bone or forechest of first, also not the coat quality, although well turned out and handled well. 3 Weinberger’s Cruzo Chorister With Correnie. 1 Weinberger’s Cruzo Copper Coin For Correnie. Red brindle, lovely expression, good length of neck, would like a little more lay of shoulder, level topline, and good tail set - a little tall for me, but showed well. 1 Felters & Rumen’s Bireslaw Caol Ila. 10 month old red brindle, feminine head still developing, good stop, cheeky eye, and good dentition. Good length of neck set onto well laid shoulder. Moved with purpose, holding her topline and to finish the picture, tail well set. Nice harsh coat. Still some maturing to do, will watch with interest. 2 Bubb’s Wandris Please Yourself. 7 month old dark brindle, this girl has a gorgeous dark eye, and pretty feminine head. Not as balanced and I preferred the movement of first. 3 Rasse’s Show Me The Ring Du Cercle Des Enchanteurs. 1 Rasse’s Show Me The Ring Du Cercle Des Enchanteurs. Eightand a half month old petite, immature pup, with harsh wheaten coat with dark points, eye of correct colour, and good stop. Sadly unable to assess movement on the day. These two girls had me wanting two first place cards as I like them both almost equally. On the day the movement of one just pipped second to first place. 1 Inett & Harrison’s Carradine Wilma. Red brindle, feminine head and loved her expression and the width of lower jaw. Possibly best forechest of the day, and lovely balanced angulations and bend of stifle showed in her movement, which was effortless. Good double coat. 2 Percy’s Winetta Frankly My Dear. Love this pretty feminine girl, with cheeky expression, a tiny touch larger than first, but well within standard for size and has just as good balance as first place. On the move was slightly narrower in the rear than first, and didn’t flow quite so well from the side view today. Good depth of rib, and length of loin, held a level topline and tail set good, giving a good picture on the stand. 3 Osborn’s Tweslam Be Gin The Magic (AI1). 1 Thompson’s Castleline Maitree. This girl was a surprise to go over on the table, very pretty head, with good stop and correct eye. Good length of neck, set on to shoulders with good layback, slightly smaller than most but pleasantly balanced, which showed in her movement. Showed well to gain first place. 2 Jobling’s Ariom Full Of Sass, which she has in abundance, another feminine bitch, with correct head and stop. Pleasing eye and expression. Neck ok, sat on good shoulders, correct rib and level topline, carrying a little weight which showed over the rear end. Rear movement was better than front. 3 Robinson’s Cruzo Classical Dream. The first three in the class caused me a challenge... sadly third place just didn’t shine today, but such a sound mover! 1 Felters & Rumens’ Ch Landbuck La Voix. Red brindle, beautiful feminine head, good dentition, strong lower jaw, and cheeky expression finished off with neat ears and good head furnishings. Neck set correctly on good lay of shoulder, length of back to height good ratio, and nice length of loin. Tail set correct. Moved well with animation, caught my eye the moment she entered the ring, so pleased to be able to award her BCC and BOB. 2 Waugh’s Glory Daze At Tribannon. Wheaten bitch, another with feminine head. Slighter build than first, angulations ok and moved well. Would prefer a little less neck length. 3 Inett & Harrison’s Carradine Jo. |
