Cairn Terriers

Judge: Graham S Peers

 

It was enjoyable to judge in fine sunny weather with a light breeze keeping the warmth of the day to a tolerable degree. Yet, it was a pity that the ground of a large area of the outside ring had been spoilt by the contractors vehicles driving over it but after all is said and done; this is an agricultural showground and they should possess the equipment needed to enable these outside rings to be raked over and lightly rolled before cordoning them off  - so why wasn’t this done?

  The entry may have been a disappointment to the show committee but I was very grateful for the support of those who,  on the day, had travelled a good distance to attend; they cannot all have gone away with a good result but trust they will accept that only the dogs affected the placing. Whilst on this subject, after the judging, many asked if the charming young lady wearing a long skirt (split front and back) and displaying legs to rival those of a young Marlene Dietriech, in the Limit Bitch Class, had affected my judging. Not having been aware of this attraction and paying utmost attention to the dogs, I answered by telling of only seeing a very charming pair of ankles alongside a quality Cairn bitch to which I awarded second placing. Though, it was so pleasing of her being in Limit Bitch and not Dog for, from the conversations heard, she certainly took over centre stage.    (smile)

 

 

Minor Puppy Dog  (2)

1st        Stephinson’s Twohoots Allsaints Arthur a light red of good size and proportions with an excellent head,           correct neck and shoulders, moved well and certainly enjoying his outing.

2nd      Tutchings’ Crowneast Mr Frosty a wheaten with black points who is still very much a baby and over-awed by the occasion. Lovely expression in a head typical of this kennel, good bone and substance, nice topline and tailset but held himself too close to the ground with his head and tail down to be able to assess his movement.

 

Puppy Dog  (3 - 1 abs)

1st        Thompson’s Castleline Prince Harry a very masculine wheaten brindle of good size and balance possessing an excellent head with well-placed ears and the correct shaped dark eye to provide the necessary Cairn expression, a slightly better stop would have had me raving about it; good neck, topline and tailset; held his head and tail up and moved with good drive; an excellent future should await him.             BPD

2nd      Tutchings’ Crowneast Hurrican Floyd, good head with excellent mouth, good length of leg, good neck and shoulders, a touch too long in the coupling and would like a shade heavier bone; moved and showed well.

 

Junior Dog  (4)

1st        Templeton’s Larchlea If Looks Could Kill a handsome headed grey brindle of good Cairn type, good neck and shoulders with strong quarters shown in full coat. His topline wasn’t his fortune due to length of rear legs but overall a very showy dog. Like all the others in this class he was too active to wish to keep four legs or himself on the ground when moving but due to the ground and giving all a chance to settle, he finally settled to show good movement.

2nd      Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Grey Leaf,  a good sized cream shown in a good coat who appears to be a late developer but holds himself well and shows well but could be a bit more positive on the move for his handler. Another which needs a slightly better stop to improve upon a nice head of good proportions. Moved freely and showed well.

3rd      Confue’s  Anjofra Bang On The Door

 

Post-Graduate Dog   (10 – 2 abs)

1st        Cadogan’s Dogan Jamesy Cotter wheaten with black points, well-placed ears on a lovely head with dark mask;  good neck, shoulders, topline and tailset, well-bodied to present a nicely balanced dog with good angulation, moved soundly both coming and going. Deserved his award of  RDCC.

2nd      Ramsden’s Cairngold Sparticus dark red brindle of good size and proportions, with good head and typical expression from eyes of correct shape and colour, neck, shoulders, topline and tailset all good; good texture to coat; handled and moved well.

3rd      Birch’s Kinkim Wattluq.

 

Limit Dog   (5)

As when last judging the breed this class was very disappointing and this should be the one from which our future champions are emerging; yet there were ones entered in Open before their time when their prospects were far superior if they had been entered in this class.

1st        West’s Kinkim Devonsludy Three With Junetta

2nd      Keeves & Bennett’s Vanajam Amulet With Maxiveek

3rd      Towers’ Rossarden Ladhroaig           

 

Open Dog   (8)

1st        Birch’s Kinkim Kenza Ruffn Too  wheaten brindle of nicely balanced proportions, not the largest of dogs when compared with some but is as the Standard requires; a good headed dog with correct length of neck, straight front, good shoulders, topline and tailset; coat of good texture; steady but  an excellent mover. I went with an open mind and as all judges must do had some dogs one I was looking forward to going over, he was not one of these but on the day found he very much deserved to win this class and to be awarded the DCC.

2nd      Cameron’s Ch. Stryveling Ivanhoe in many ways an excallent dog full of quality yet marred by a couple of things which to me, he just cannot overcome. An all male dog with an impressive head but loses the necessary expression due to his light eye. Well-bodied and a delight to go over for there is little to fault; in excellent coat, turned out and presented to perfection; covered the ground well and his free movement is as expected from this sound dog but yet, he loses his shape on the move; his head thrusts forward and his tail stretched straight behind him, in no way as eye-catching a dog as the one he left behind, standing.

3rd      Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Tidy Shoes.

Minor Puppy Bitch   (9 – 1 abs)

1st        Smee & Smith’s Ring That Bell a delightful 7 month old wheaten with black points; should have a very promising future before her but unfortunately some get lost along the road but find it hard to believe this will happen to ‘Bell?’. Caught my eye immediately on glancing down the line and didn’t disappoint, either on the table or on the move. Liked the picture presented on the table when looking through her from behind. Head of a size which blended well to body size; neat ears, well-placed and carried erect, good stop, correct shape and colour of eyes with her eyelashes assisting in giving a beautiful feminine expression; good neck, shoulders and a straight front, topline and tailset good; good legs, feet and angulation; nicely presented with coat of a good texture; moved and showed well. Won a hard decision over a very good dog puppy to gain BP.

2nd      Keeve’s Seveek Chasing Dreams  light red with very feminine head well-furnished, good neck, shoulders, topline and tailset, well-made throughout, very lively on the move.

3rd      Keeves & Bennett’s Seveek One Moment In Time with Maxiveek

 

Puppy Bitch   (no entries)

 

Junior Bitch   (7)

1st        Templeton’s Larchlea Looks Like Heaven good type of bitch with a true Cairn head and expression; grey brindle shown in good coat; well-bodied and nicely made throughout; more than met the standard for being agile and having a gay disposition, for strong quarters enabled her to leap freely at will but later moved correctly when finally settled down to the job in hand. One of a good type and certainly possessing the typical lively spirit of a Cairn within her and this was a deciding factor on awarding her the RBCC.

 

2nd      Dolan’s Glenrood Dream Pipit; a lovely rich wheaten coloured bitch which presents a striking outline when viewed from the side; good length of leg balanced by her length of back; head well set on to excellent neck which runs into a level topline and the  final piece, the tail correctly set-on and of a length which balances out nicely to the neck and head; good head with lovely mouth; well handled and showed well; turned out to perfection but the coat could be that little bit more harsher. Today, she was unlucky to come up against the winner, another day who knows?

3rd      Weedall’s Clairevona Victorian Ice

 

Post-Graduate Bitch   (8)

1st        White’s Kervaig Skye Sapphire, a wheaten brindle bitch of a decent size and meets the Standard very well; attractive head but eye a little lighter than I would wish; good neck and level topline; handled and showed well, moving freely; overall, well deserved her placing. Afterwards, learnt that she was my BP when judging the Welsh KC Ch. Show, eighteen months ago.

2nd      Weaver’s Copseleaze Little Gem, one out of our dog but placed on merit; wheaten brindle of a correct size with lovely feminine head with dark points; well bodied and shown in hard condition; her excellent strong hind quarters with  correct space between hocks provided good drive for moving freely on the move; showed in good coat but a little more care is required when preparing her topline for show purposes, too thick a coat was left on both ends of her back so spoiling the necessary levelled top

3rd      Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Celtic Song.

 

Limit Bitch   (10 – 2 abs)

1st        Waugh’s Andrum Carlotta, it was pleasing to see the handler was treating her in a more sensitive and kind manner than at times in the past. Carlotta, instead of her usual resistance, responded to this and for once both worked as a pair and we were treated to a great performance. A quality wheaten brindle bitch of a nice size and balance, shown in good coat of correct texture and presented well. Lovely head of balanced proportions and with a true feminine expression. A very sound bitch to go over on the table, with not much to fault. Always alert and active, paying attention to her handler and responding to commands, it was a joy to watch her free action when moving around the ring. On the day, well deserved her reward of BCC & BOB.

2nd      Liljeqvist & Christi’s Olsakers Carrie at Blueyell (imp). Wheaten brindle of a nice compact shape, nicely balanced with good length of leg and back; a feminine bitch with good head and dark eye; nice reach of neck set into correct sloping shoulders; well presented with correct harsh coat but requiring much more of it then she carried today. Well handled, moved and showed well.

3rd      Osborn’s Tweslam Dot Com.

 

Open Bitch   (6 – 1 abs)

1st        Goldfinch’s Kanawha Listen Again wheaten brindle with an alert and attentive manner of  a good size but balanced; good expressive head; shown with excellent coat and in a hard condition; showed and moved well; held her shape very well when on the move and certainly earned her placing for she didn’t put a foot wrong..

2nd      Phillips’ Sarachelle Just Daisy at Jaeva lovely bitch of a good type; possessing a most attractive feminine head with good expression, good front, well bodied but needing more coat but let down by a very badly trimmed tail and tailset.
