Critique
My thanks to the exhibitors for the wonderful entry. It was
both a pleasure and a privilege to judge the quality dogs here today. I was
impressed with type and the excellent temperament. My main concern was that
some otherwise quality exhibits had heads which although well furnished lacked
stop, which is an essential part of the correct Cairn Head structure.

young dog fits the standard so well. Dark grey, style and presence combined

progress with interest.
2nd: Waites’ Seveek Country Rambler at Svendalens. Grey brindle with
most attractive head, firm topline. Needs to tighten in front movement.

considered it a privilege to judge this class.
1st: (DCC & BOB) Catto’s Ch Birselaw Billy Fury. Proud, purposeful,
with tremendous ring presence. This wheaten brindle conforms so well to the
breed standard in all aspects. Superb head, deep stop and therefore correct eye
placement, eyes dark and slightly sunk giving that captivating true Cairn
expression. Balanced firm body with good angulation and muscle tone. Presented
and handled to perfection.
2nd:Wall’s Ch Shearwater Cae de Sonhas. Captivating red brindle
impresses with good static balance. Correctly constructed dog, firm and well
muscled, good angulation and body proportions. True Cairn head and expression.
Today preferred front movement of 1.
3rd: Cameron’s Ch Stryveling Ivanhoe.

1st: Shaw’s Honeyhall Hijinx. Showing all the signs of future promise. Confident and
charming this six month old red brindle has type and quality. Well constructed
with correct angulation and body proportions. Superb head and expression. From
the catalogue I see she is the daughter of B.O.B. winner. Well handled and
presented, just lost best puppy award on maturity.
2nd: Pollock’s Stanedykes Diva. Another
promising puppy, dark grey brindle. Well balanced, attractive head, good body
construction. Another who conforms well to the standard. What a pleasure it was
to see this puppy presented and shown in full Cairn coat.

quality class
1st: Harrison & Formosa’s Spawyche Forever Amber At Carradine. Demands
attention, this red was active, alert full of confidence and energy. Balanced
with correct head and expression, good length of neck and leg, level topline
and well angulated quarters. Cooperated so well with her handler. Should have a

topline. Showed with confidence.

with type, energy and character. Attractive head, neat ears, expressive dark
eye with keen expression. Good bone and balance, nice reach of neck, well
angulated quarters, firm body, level topline held her outline on the move.
Pushed hard for top honours, just needs more coat and furnishings to complete
picture.

1st: Firth & Jones’ Cairngold Charcoal. Aptly named grey brindle,
balanced and beautiful. This extrovert excels in breed type. Head, typical,
well proportioned, correct eye, neat ears good mouth. Correct body angulation
and bone. I liked her a lot.
2nd: Shaw’s Honeyhall Headway. Impressive red, a superb bitch with wonderful head
and expression. Well constructed throughout, moved with style and never stopped
showing.
3rd: Weinberger’s Correnie Keep My Secret
OB (5 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: & BCC, Dolan’s Rossarden Glenmoira. Dark and delightful
feminine grey prepared and presented to best advantage. True to type and
fitting the standard so well. Really impressed on the table where I found her
forehand to be close to perfection, strong level back, good rib and hind
quarters. With this superb construction and muscle tone her movement, as I had
expected was a pleasure to watch, free and fluid with good extension to front
and drive from behind. With this construction, combined with attractive head
with that cheeky Cairn “ Yes I’m ready” expression it was a pleasure in very
strong competition to award her the C.C.
2nd: & RBCC, Jones’ Ch Penticharm Celtic Princess. Beautiful
wheaten brindle excels in breed type. Loved her head and expression. So well
constructed, lovely neck, good layback of shoulders, firm level topline, well
angulated hind quarters. Moved and showed with enthusiasm. A worthy champion.
3rd: Short’s Ch Glenchess Night Owl
