Afternoon Show

Judge; Rev Gwynne Wright (Glenmont)

 

I got my first cairn in 1984.  He was to be a pet but life turned out otherwise.  With wonderful and generous mentors, I made him up as an American champion as well as achieving obedience titles. 

 

In researching his pedigree, I learned about English Cairns and eventually met a certain David Wright (Ljekarna).  As life unfolded, we eventually married.  Together we bred and successfully showed several American champions.  We’d often enjoy attending dog shows here when we were visiting family. 

 

I have judged several Sweepstakes and Match shows in the US.  (That would be roughly equivalent to judging Open shows in the UK.) 

 

When I retired in 2014, I moved to England with two of my cairns.  I’ve continued my love of the breed and am grateful for their companionship especially in this lockdown.  

 

I have been a member of the Midland Cairn Terrier Club since 1994 and joined the committee in 2017. I am also a member of the Cairn Terrier Club of America and the Cairn Terrier Club. I am also on the committee for Cairn Terrier Relief Fund and York City Dog Training Club.  I’m very much looking forward to being able to be out again with my dogs. 

 

It will be a privilege to judge MCTC’s open show in October.  I am very much looking forward particularly after it has needed to be reschedule.  It will be wonderful to see your dogs and meet up with friends.

Judge; Bob Blackley (Vaevictus)

 

I have been showing dogs since 1985, I started with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, but I was interested in all terriers.  My judging career started in 1989 with Staffords, but with my interest in other terriers I progressed to judging other breeds.

I first judged Cairn Terriers in 2004 and passed the breed specific seminar in 2016.

I first awarded CC’s in Staffords in 1998, and I   judged Stafford bitches at Crufts in 2017.

I judged my first Terrier Group in 2017, and I am now passed by the KC to award CC's in 21 of the Terrier Breeds and awaiting KC confirmation on another.

 

I have studied all the terriers, and have taken Breed Specific Seminars with Assessment on all of the terrier breeds with the exception of one, and have also taken and passed all the KC required seminars although I wasn’t required to, and am now a Policy Judge as well.

I have been active on the committees of 5 different Breed Clubs, and currently 2 Breed Clubs and a Sporting Terrier Club, plus a General Championship Show committee, and pride myself in putting as much as I can back into dog shows as I take out in my enjoyment in dogs.

I wish to thank the club for inviting me to judge this prestigious show, and will give an honest opinion.
