Cairns

An excellent entry both in numbers & quality of most of the exhibits. Only three untypical mouths, they were penalised as this is an important part of the make up of a Cairn. We were delayed in starting by almost three quarters of an hour but managed to finish judging in time. I really cannot appreciate having to wait for exhibits to come into the ring, after the exhibitor has been ringside throughout the day, sheer bad mannners which I was quick to point out. I have to admit the overall quality of the exhibits was a pleasant surprise & I loved every minute going over them.

Thank you for a very pleasing day & giving me the chance to go over your Cairns, you know we still produce the most typical.

 

MPD (4,2a):

 1 Weedall's Clairevona Vibrant Knight, in an excellent red coat, correct texture & double coated, pleasing head, nice dark eye, good ear placement, should make up into a very pleasing Cairn, moved & showed well. BP;

 2 Wall's Shearwater Harry Potter, preferred the head & expression of 1, in a very good coat of excellent quality, lovely big teeth, nicely made throughout, needs to strengthen in hind movement, happy show boy.

 

 PD (8,2):

1 Thomas' Vanajam Three Wishes for Tycadno, lovely headed youngster with very good expression, excellent mouth, excellent construction throughout, topline & tailset very good. Shortness of coat (in preparation for Crufts) went against him in the line up, but I predict a rosy future for him in the breed. Flowing movement resulting in a steady topline;

2 Braybrook's Cloverbrook Ultimate Force, lovely dark brindle with excellent body construction, good reach of neck, layback, topline & tailset, in a excellent coat, sound in movement. Just preferred the head & expression of 1; 3 Leese's Cloverbrook Silver Rebel.

 

JD (4,1):

1 Fairweather's Ock Ross I'm The Boss, beautiful head & expression with correct shaped dark eye, in a very good coat of excellent texture, correct angulations to fore & rear, he's made right so moved right, good showboy;

2 Tracy's Crowneast Landing Light, very similar in type also colour, nicely made in construction, excellent expression. Could have been a shade heavier in bone. Good movement;

3 Bennet's Maximal Don't Stop The Music.

 

YD (1):

1 Berrecloth's Sybster Sophora, beautiful head & expression, nicely made throughout, in a good coat. Would have preferred him to be stronger in hindquarters on the move.

 

PGD (8):

1 Thompson's Castleline Prince Harry, lovely headed wheaten with a correct dark eye & beautiful expression, excellent presentation, very good coat structure, correct for angulations, moved & showed well;

2 Ward's Vanajan Halloween, another with that beautiful expression, nicely balanced with a good stop & good ear placement, in good coat, very good in overall construction. Splitting hairs on placings here, movement was the deciding factor;

3 Crosby's Tohmaura Chace.

 

LD (6):

1 Kinton's Woodthorpe Just Bedazzled, excellent wheaten with a lovely head & expression, in a very good coat, correct in angulations, nicely muscled quarters, very good in hind movement winch was the deciding factor.,

2 Birch's Kinkim Wattlug typical of this kennel, showmanship plus, lovely head & expression, not a big one in stature & more correct in size than many, presented in a very good coat which was well prepared, front movement is good but could do with a little more strength in hindquarters;

OD (4): Only a small class in numbers but each of the four were of the highest standard & all fitted the Standard beautifully, it really was a case of splitting hairs & quite a headache to arrive at a decision.

1 Wall's Ch Shearwater Cae de Sonhas,  I know him so well. I made him World Champion in 2002. Today he was winning his 25th CC. He has a magnificent head & expression, perfect presentation in a copper/br coat, correct length to height, lovely to go over as he is so confident in himself which he transmits to the judge, pleasure to see him again & to award him top awards.
