BATH SHOW 2008    CAIRN TERRIERS

                       

We were lucky with the weather for most of the day apart from a little rain and a loud bang of thunder which did not upset any of the exhibits, in fact it sparked them up. At other times some needed a bit more “oomph”.  I found some rear movement disappointing but there were those who were very, very good and a pleasure to watch. There were a couple of bad mouths and some had light and protruding eyes. Please watch feet, I found one with long thin feet with flat pads. Temperaments were excellent and there were plenty of top quality specimens. I went home happy.

Limit Dog(7/0)

 

1.       CAMERON  STRYVELING ROBB RUADH  Red with dark points. Maturing to become a grand dog with bearing. Good head & expression. Big teeth. I liked his size and shape. Good spring of rib. Always alert and a happy showman but it is his movement that impressed me, its spot on, his strong quarters and drive take him round effortlessly. CC & BOB

Very good class, I was spoilt for choice

1. CHAMBERS & EXTON   CAIRNGROVE CLEVER CLOGS I really like this ones shape. She has a good head & expression and moved very well. In the challenge she just lost her topline and that changed my mind about awarding her Rcc. A lovely bitch who should do very well

Postgraduate Bitch (9/0)

 

1. THOMPSON   CASTLELINE BONNIE JW Gorgeous wheaten with dark points. Good reach of neck, level topline. Showed & moved well in this class. In the challenge she lost interest for a while and I thought she has blown her chances for Rcc, She must have realised this and became alert, showing all out and looking a treat.  RCC
