CITY OF BIRMINGHAM CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW 4^th SEPTEMBER 2004

 

Cairn Terriers

I thank the exhibitors and Committee for making my day so enjoyable, a special thanks also to my two excellent stewards.

A good size ring which was carpeted this covered the ill-fitting drainage gratings which were unfortunately off putting for the handlers and dogs.

The general overall quality of the bitches was superior to the dogs.  Temperaments were very good, a few bad mouths with small teeth, coats on some were inbetween,there was quite a variance in size in some classes.
