CAIRN TERRIERS

 

SUNDAY 11^th SEPTEMBER 2005

 

 

It has been two years since I last judged and I must say that the heads on our lovely breed have not improved. I was also disappointed in the lack of quality in the dogs.

I judged the dogs on the day as I saw them, with the breed standard foremost in my mind.
