Cairn Terrier

 

I must say what a glorious day I had judging such wonderful quality Cairns this day. I commend all; you are doing a much better job with your Cairns than I am currently seeing in the U.S. In an effort not to repeat myself I found the entry to be very consistent. I had only good eyes with that piercing keen expression we desire. Bone was strong but not heavy and only a couple a bit too fine. You’ve done well improving your size with only a couple I found a bit over the top size-wise. Thank you to all exhibitors for their lovely entry.

His rear movement was particularly strong. It was good seeing him enjoy himself. He showed with great pride and enthusiasm proving what a youthful breed we have, they just refuse to get old.
