Southern Cairn Terrier Club February 5 2005

 

Looking through my records I see that 40 years ago, when I judged for the Southern Cairn Terrier Club for the first time, my BIS was a Uniquecottage, so perhaps it was fitting that on what will be my last time I should once again put up a Uniquecottage.  The first time the winner was a wheaten dog, U Gold Goblet, winning his first CC, and this time it was a light red brindle bitch, Uniquecottage Glengettie, winning her second CC, so I cannot claim any more similarities, but I certainly hope that Glengettie will soon claim her title as Goblet did.  Something not so good for Judy Parker Tucker & me is that this record tells me that we have been around a long time!

 

It was a great honour to be invited to judge the Southern’s Ch Show for the third time & I enjoyed the day very much.  Thinking of that marvellous Limit Bitch class will give me constant pleasure.  I wish we could have a few more really good dogs, but for me the bitches are far more important & I don’t think there can be much wrong with a breed which produces the calibre of the top bitches seen at this show.  Also I was impressed with the best dogs headed by the Junior, Cannwood As If By Magic to Starveren.  BP was Cairngold Condoleeza.

 

There have been a number of changes in the management of the SCTC & I congratulate Pat Carlton Smith and Sue Kinton on their teamwork in running their first show as Secretary and Assistant Secretary so successfully.  It was an honour for me personally to have our retiring Secretary, Mary Towers (now our President) & retiring committee member Ruth Wadman Taylor (thankfully she is still our hon vet), as stewards.  The National Society for Epilepsy at Chalfont St Giles is a handy venue being so close to the M4 and M40 & of a good size for the entry of 144 exhibits with excellent parking facilities.

Puppy Dog (5, 2A)

1. Thonpson’s Castleline Jackard, attractive wheaten, very good eye, ears & mischievous expression, nice dark points, needs more furnishing to finish the picture but not yet 9 months.  Pleasing neck, shoulders, topline & tailset.
2. West’s Junetta Victor, well boned grey, good body & rib, I liked his head, eyes & expression, good feet.  Just preferred 1 in shoulder but well let down hocks, nice coat.
3. Poiles’ Kedvaiy Harlequin

 

Junior Dog (4, 1A)

1. Middlehurst’s Cannwood As If By Magic To Starveren, loved this young silver grey & his great quality took him through to the CC.  Well balanced, good length of leg and back, lovely head, eye, ears & expression, good neck, shoulders, topline & tailset, in good coat & condition, moved & showed well.
2. Peers’ Tweedisle That Special Man, nice typical light red brindle, pleasing head, nice bone, legs & feet, stands well over his legs.

Novice Dog (1)

1. Laker’s Wizz Oz Rory, happy wheaten, I liked his natural, pleasing Cairn appearance & attitude, very attentive to his handler, moving out well.  Good ears, alert expression, good bone, nice coat texture.

 

Undergraduate Dog (3, 1A)

1. Birch’s Kinkim Kernul, well grown young wheaten, nice neck & shoulders, well set & carried tail, coming into good coat.  Very good mouth, nice dark points, needs a little more face furnishings.

Graduate Dog (6)

1. Berrecloth’s Sybster Spring Time, lovely grey, good length of leg with back to balance, good neck, shoulders, topline & tail, good coat & condition, pleasing head, excellent mouth, moved & showed well.  Had the edge on maturity so pressed the CC winner close & took the RCC over the good OD challengers.

3. Brown’s Cruzo Gold Charmer

 

Post Graduate Dog (6, 2A)

3. Mears’ Glenmear Malfoy

 

Open Dog (6)

Very competitive class.

1. Hooper’s Ch/Am Ch Birselaw Super Trooper, I admired him as a youngster in the US and he has more than fulfilled his great promise.  All male, mature, good head, very good bone, legs & feet, excellent body & rib, super coat, moved soundly.  Just thought he looked a touch heavy against the young pretenders.
2. Short’s Glenchess Black Tie, very nice wheaten, good neck, shoulders, topline & tail.  I congratulate this owner on the movement of her Cairns.  Black Tie moved with great drive & reach which put him in second place.
3. Roberts’ Ch Cannwood Augurey

 

Veteran 7 – 9 years (2,1A)

1. Fairweather’s Ock Enchanted Shadow, feminine 8 years wheaten bitch, very nice head, good eye, pleasing coat texture.  Going through a phantom pregnancy but still doing her best for her owner.

 

Veteran 10  years & over (4, 2A)

1. Confue’s Ch Anjofra Charlie Tango, lovely light red bitch of 12, still retains all her quality, free movement & joie de vivre, good head.  Best Veteran.

Minor Puppy Bitch (17, 4A)

Good class.

1. Short’s Glenchess Made to Measure, beautifully made grey, moved & showed so well for such a baby, good neck, shoulders, topline & tailset.  Needs time for her head.
2. Carter’s Tarcret Bobby Dazzler, very promising, pleasing head & expression, nice body, good forehand.
3. Cameron’s Stryveling Georgie Girl

 

Puppy Bitch (11, 5A)

1. Firth & Jones’ Cairngold Condoleeza, very nice red brindle, good head, eye & ears, pleasing neck, shoulders & front, good outline.  Lost a little sparkle by the end of the show but her head carried her through to Best Puppy.
2. Thompson’s Castleline Calico, very nice wheaten, needs more face furnishings to help her head but is well made & moves well.  Good coat texture looked the part.
3. Waites’ Seveek Country Lover at Svendalens

 

Junior Bitch (10, 2 A)

3. Templeton’s Larchlea Remember Remember

 

Maiden Bitch (6, 2A)

1. Cameron’s Stryveling Meg Merrilies, pleasing bitch just out of Junior, has a will of her own which I liked but I guess her owner did not!  Good head & expression, well made, good red coat.

3. Ough’s Ocedar Will o The Wisp

 

Undergraduate Bitch (8,2A)

1. Ward’s Vanajam Hokcus Pokcus, most pleasing wheaten, lovely head, ears & eyes, nice forehand, good topline & tail.  A bit reluctant to move at times but went well when she wanted to.
2. Beanoak Snug in The Blanket
3. Berrecloth’s Sybster Spring into Summer

 

Beginners Bitch (6)

1. Waites’ Seveek Country Lover at Svendalens, this promising wheaten was third in Puppy Bitch.  Typical all through with good length of leg & back making for good balance.  I hope she comes on well.
