Leeds Championship Show – Cairn Terriers

 

I should like to thank all those exhibitors who were sporting enough to enter under me.  I found coats to be variable, some really good, others very short and some, quite frankly dead. Mouths on the whole were very good indeed, many with large teeth.  I found no incorrect bites and no fronts were unacceptable. Movement again was variable, some rear movement was poor.

 

I was very pleased with the applause which was forthcoming at my placings in a large number of classes.  This is something I have noticed is quite rare around the Cairn ring these days.

 

The wording on the Challenge Certificates, (for those who have not won one yet) says that the recipient exhibit must be considered by the judge to be worthy of becoming a Champion.  It was my great pleasure to be able to award 2 C.C.’s and give 2 quality examples of the breed their titles (subject to K.C. regs.)

 

As both had already got 2 CC’s each, at least 4 people should agree with my top placings.  Again thanks to all who entered under me and commiserations to those who could not get to the show because of the dreadful weather conditions.

1. Butterfield’s Camasmor Can Do, light red, coat in good condition, correct mouth & eye.  Alert expression, correct tailset.  Moved well and very composed for one so young.

1. Smith’s Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle, dark brindle with a hint of red.  Good mouth, correct eye & earset. Short jacket but of good texture.  Well set on tail.  Well muscled, level topline.  Very mature for age, moved well when he finally settled down.  Excellent showman.  Best Puppy

 

Junior Dog (4, 1A)

1. Stephinson’s Twohoots Barnabas, wheaten with dark points, good mouth, correct eye, pleasing length of neck flowing into clean shoulders.  Coat of correct texture and in good condition.  Proportionate length of back & correct tailset.  Moved well & showed steadily.
2. Watson’s Fieldron I’ve Got News For You, dark brindle with a head to die for.  Excellent mouth, correct eye and earset.  Nice length of neck, clean shoulders, excelled in topline and tailset.  Brilliant showman and perhaps too full of himself on the day, making movement difficult to assess.

Open Bitch (7, 3A)

1. Petts’ Cannwood Kasta Spell at Doonrae, dark brindle, this bitch has now reached full maturity and was on top form today, full of life and looking well.  She ticks all the boxes of the breed standard.  But for me she excels in general make and shape & balance.  She has adequate muscle, straight front, well laid shoulders, good spring of rib and well let down hocks.  She moved with animation, true at the front with drive from the rear.  Showed with verve.  BCC & BOB
2. Osborne’s Tweslam Kalamazoo, dark red brindle, very similar in stature to winner.  Feminine head, good topline, nicely balanced.  Coat not as good condition on the day as winner.  A lively performer, handled well.
