WELSH K C CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

CAIRN TERRIERS

Many thanks to everyone who entered and travelled to Builth Wells, with the rising fuel costs etc. 

I was delighted with the entry which was third top in group.  I had some really promising youngsters in both sexes, although I happy was with both line-ups.   It is quite evident that there is quite a gulf in quality between the dogs and bitches.

The negatives today were too many dogs were overweight, which affected their movement and again eye colour and shape.  I appreciate the breed standard does not give a shape, but I have always understood that it should be almond shaped (that’s how Peggy Wilson explained it to me) and not round and beady.  Temperaments were super and presentation first class. 

Puppy ( 5 – 1ABS)

1^st        King & Leighton’s Carradine May Be The Moon At Harkinleigh.

Nice head and expression.  Level topline good tailset shown in good coat.  Moved fairly well on a loose lead.  Needs to loose a bite of weight best balanced in this class.

2^nd       Felters & Rumens’ Landbuck Colour Code

Very much a baby.  Wheaten good head and expression.  Nice neck and shoulders.  Topline and tailset moves well once he settles.  Hope he grows on.

3^rd        Thomas’ Tycando Starman

Junior Dog ( 5 – 2Abs)

1^St       Pollocks’ Larchlea Licence To Thrill at Stanedykes

This young R/B certainly ticked all the boxes for me.  I found his head and expression breath taking.  At 15months he is obviously maturing, but he is so well constructed when he moves it is effortless.  Good depth and spring of rib.  Topline level with tail on top.  Super-coat and was shown to perfection.  He screams breed type and looks every inch the standard.  Delighted to award him the  CC AND BOB.   I hear he was shortlisted in the group on this performance; it is easy to see how.

2^nd    Mosley & Innett’s Spawyche Elizabethan Onyx

Another smashing youngster.  So well put together, lovely head and expression.  Super mouth, excellent neck and shoulders.  Good legs and feet.  He was shown in super-coat and his presentation was spot on.  He moved around the ring with drive, I felt compelled to award him the RCC.  Must have a bright future

3^rd        Barney’s Alfie Lunar Hopper

NOVICE DOG  ( 3 – 1 Abs)

1^st            Peers’  Tweedside Guy Mannering

Brindle nice type, lovely head.  Eye and ear placements level topline and good tail set well presented.  I would like a bit more width across the chest and more drive from behind

2^nd   Barney’s  Alfie  Lunar Hopper

Very much a baby attending his first show. Typy head with good mouth.  He has a wicked personality and obviously gives his owner a hard time, but with training and patience could be a fun dog to show.

POST – GRAD DOG ( 5 – 1 Abs)

1^st        Waugh’s Tribannon Warlord

Lots to like here, brindle super head and expression, good neck and shoulders.   Good depth and spring of rib, level topline with tailset.  Moved with drive to be critical, I would like him a shade longer in back for a more balanced picture.  Nice type

2^nd       Rheads’  Copseleaze Chesterwood Boy

I liked this R/B, again he has a nice head and expression.  He is very well put together, was shown in good coat and very well handled he was a bit heavy and this affected his movement pity.

3^rd       Dolan & Inetts’ Glenrood Iceman

LIMIT DOG ( 6 – 1Abs)

1^st Ward’s Vanajam Pop Idol

I was surprised to see this youngster in this class not because he is not quality but he looks very much a baby.  Wheaten, Rangy, needs to fill out, I would like more width across the chest.  He has a lovely masculine head and expression.  Super topline and tailset.  He has a quality coat and presentation was A1.  Moves around the ring with drive and confidence with maturity should progress.

2^nd Grainers’ Devil and Disguise

Red masculine head and expression, good mouth, level topline, good tailset.  Good depth of spring of rib and moved well.  Needs a new jacket and could loose a pound or two. Good honest dog.

3^rd Sopers’ Uniquecottage Ring Plover

OPEN DOG (3)

1^ST       Thomas’s Ch. Raskens Romping Playboy

I have long admired this brindle. He has a super head and expression. Level topline and good tailset.  He is always well presented and has quality coat.  He drives from the rear and covers the ground well. Today he lacked sparkle, never the less he’s out of the top drawer and will always demand a second look.

2^nd       Hooton &  Shorters’ Penticharm Prince Charming

Attractive headed brindle that is well put together.  Very well presented he has a good depth and spring of rib, good topline and tailset.  I wish he would put more into his showing.

3^rd       Peers’ .Tweediside Piper Boy

MINOR PUPPY BITCH  ( 5 – 1 Abs) Nice Class

1^st        Roberts’ Cannwood Danish Affair

Wheaten -  lovely head, eye and good mouth.  Super neck and clean shoulder balanced outline moves very well for one so young.  Presented in good coat of correct texture.  BEST PUPPY  with a bit to spare.

2^nd   Wards Vanajam Disco Diva

First time out for this baby, but she did very well.  Sweet head and expression nice shape moved very well and showed all out with maturity could become a real prospect.

3^rd      Confue’s Anjofra  Welcome and to La La Land

JUNIOR BITCH – ( 4)

1^st           Dolan’s  Glenrood Mystic Topaz

Wheaten /Brindle nice type of cairn although short of coat.  She was hiding nothing.  Moves well for and aft.  Attractive head and expression.  Level topline, tail on top. showed all out.

Beautiful head with varmity expression balanced throughout.  Good neck and shoulders, straight front, level topline good depth and spring of rib.  Shown in super coat and condition very free in movement on her toes and showed all out.  I thought in the challenge for B.O.B. they made a good looking pair very well deserved CC

2^nd       Munday’s Birselaw Firebird at Stradivarius

R/B lovely head and expression shown in good coat and well presented.  Not much wrong with this young lady just has to mature, moves well on a loose lead.  Promising. Should start to pick up top awards soon.

3^rd        Moseley’s Carradine Sapphire at Spawyche

LIMIT BITCH ( 9- 1 Abs)

1^st     Thompson’s Castleline Tiger Lily

A lovely type of cairn most of my comments on crazy for you apply here.  There was little to separate these quality bitches.  A little more coat would complete the picture but delighted to award her the RCC   and hope she progressed to her title which she thoroughly deserves.

2^nd       Waugh’s Razzle Dazzle Glory at Tribannon

Another quality cairn shown in full coat.  Lovely head and expression very well balanced, moves well lots to like here.

2nd      Lindbore & Norstrand’s  Su (u) Ch Rasken’s Rich Grey Lark.

Brindle slightly bigger all round than Jazztalk.  Lots to like and presented to perfection.  Again she could lose some weight to advantage.  Handled very well.
