of Auction of the “Wildmoor Cairn” on 4 December
2021 (Proxy
bids accepted)
Approximately 40 years ago Alan’s brother Bill introduced Alan
to a gentleman called Johnny Matthews who was a woodwork teacher at the local
school. Johnny was a very talented person who worked
on the wood panelling on the Orient Express. Johnny mentioned to Alan that he
knew a Latvian gentleman who was an extraordinary woodcarver. This
is the person who carved this Cairn model. During the Second World War,
the Latvian was forced to fight for the Germans. His company was
overrun by the Russians who he was then obliged to fight for. He,
along with the Russian troops, went into Berlin where he saw an opportunity
to escape to the British sector. He knew that if he was taken back
to Russia he would be shot. He was incarcerated in England in a
British POW camp, during which time he made use of his leisure and became a
woodcarver. When the time came for him to be released to go back
to Latvia he applied to become a British citizen and became domiciled in
England. Alan asked Johnny if his
friend could carve a Cairn model if he supplied him with some photographs,
which he did. There were three models made, one is in the US and
the other two were donated by the late Albert and Mrs Jean Price and the late
Lil and Alf Arrowsmith as trophies for the DCC and
BCC winners at our Championship Show. However, these trophies are
never taken by the winners and the committee has decided, with the agreement
of those concerned, that they should be auctioned at our next two
Championship shows. The first one will be
auctioned in the lunch interval at the show on 4 December and the second one
at the 2022 Championship show. Sadly, Alan cannot remember the
woodcarver’s name and as Johnny is no longer with us, we will never know his
name, but I think you will agree that his work is exceptional. We shall look forward to seeing you at the show. Regards Linda Firth |

My vet introduced me to Joan Hodgson, (Scarthroyd),
she took me to S.C.T.C. Championship show at Slough - that was enough, I was sold. With
the help and guidance of Ann Waugh (Tribannon), Gerry Robinson (Cruzo), Barbara Clark (Petersden),
Hazel Small(Avenelhouse) and
Betty Morrison(Velora), I bred my first champion, Correnie Warrior in Silver, out of Velora
Quick Silver by Ch Robinson Crusoe of Courtrai. He won the RCC at Crufts
under Ronnie Irving.
I have bred 8 champions, 2 with BOB at Crufts and a Champion bitch
winning a CC at Crufts. I have made up
a Larchlea dog, thanks to Carole Templeton.
I was given the honour of judging Crufts in 2017. I have loved
my time breeding and showing Cairns.
With the help and support of my dear friend Mandy Francis, we have
travelled far and wide, these are wonderful memories. I look forward to an enjoyable day judging
the Midland Cairn Championship show. After
such difficult times let’s hope we can all look ahead to happy, healthy days. Susan Weinberger |
