Cairn Terriers  Manchester Ch Sh

Purposely not having judged the breed for a year or three, all of the exhibits were unknown to me. The entry of 73 for a workaday Thursday was indeed flattering. Weather conditions, particularly in the North of the country plainly brought about a small number of absentees. Mouths were good. All had scissor bites, some exhibits might have owned larger teeth. Two or three low placings were affected because of black and small eyes, others being somewhat cow-hocked, lack of front extention and /or rear propulsion, or obvious coat failings. However it was most satisfying from a judging point of view That the junior dog, both puppy winners and eventual CC winners were by the same sire.
