Joint Cairn Terrier Clubs Open Show, 15^th July 2008, Hasland Village Hall , Derbyshire

 

As we aspiring judges make our way up the ladder, we can only hope to get good appointments and quality Cairns to go over and judge. I was thrilled when the CTA asked me to Judge the Joint Cairn Terrier Clubs Open Show. I was also thrilled with my dogs. I only had two “Iffy” mouths but found plenty of forechest & good stops. Movement was on the whole ok. But gosh did I get some beautifully presented and superb headed exhibits, In our breed standard dark points are said to be “Very typical”, they really do make for a wonderful expression. No problem with temperaments today. I was shocked to find a couple of glinting green eyes but was relieved when told they had just been for veterinary eye testing!

Super coat  He moved steady fore and aft, such a lovely cheery character who even at this young age was in tune with his handler. My BPIS
