SOUTH WALES & WEST OF ENGLAND CAIRN TERRIER CLUB

Championship Show

Saturday 17th October 2009

 

My thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge their Silver Anniversary Show. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly and the anniversary cake and wine superb. Credit must also go to the Committee for the choice and quality of the venue. The ring was carpeted which made it feel warm and enabled movement to be assessed easily. I must also thank the Exhibitors for their entries and my Stewards for the smooth running of the Show – good stewarding makes such a difference!

 

The overall quality of the exhibits today was good. I found only one or two with eyes that were lighter than desired and one or two more that were round. Movement, to my eye, still needs to improve – this seems to be a perennial problem. There was a mixture of wide fronts, close hocks and inadequate drive. On the plus side coats (mostly) seemed to be in good order in terms of quality and density. Mouths were mostly as they should be with proper scissor bite, clean and no missing or jumbled teeth. Lack of good bone and overall substance was an issue with one or two otherwise good specimens.

 

As has been mentioned by other Judges there seems to be a lack of younger puppies being shown – especially dogs. This may well be a reflection of the costs of exhibiting and the credit crunch.

 

SVD (7-10years incl) (1, 0 abs)

 

1          Catto’s CH BIRESLAW BILLY FURY (RE-IMP). What a way to start the show! This 8 year old dark brindle dog is superb. Balanced with an excellent head, topline, tailset and coat. Strode around the ring as if he owned it. A wonderful example of the breed. Had to give way to his younger compatriots in the Challenge. Best Veteran.

           

 

SVD or B (11years and over) (2, 2)

 

Absent

 

MPD (1, 1)

 

Absent

 

PD (2, 1)

 

1                    Shopland’s CHERRYCRACK BLACK ADDER. Balanced dark grey/brindle in good coat. Liked his head and dark eye of correct shape. Moved with drive and maintained his level topline on the move. Correct tailset. His last puppy class ended on a high. BPD, BPIS

 

2          Soper’s ELTICHARM DREAM BOY. A good headed wheaten of good type with a good head. Coat good but unfortunately front movement was a little wayward today and he didn’t keep his topline as well as 1 on the move.

 

 

JD (7, 2)

 

A very mixed class.

 

1                    Shannon & Storr’s BRENNDARCY TROUBLE AT MILL. Red brindle with good head, eye, stop and neck. Kept his topline on the move. Movement needs to tighten but is still only 13 months.

 

2                    Warnes’s SPIREBROOKE DAWN RAIDER. Balanced silver/brindle in good coat. Correctly placed ears, excellent mouth, good bone and tailset

 

3          Kinchin’s TYREECES TRICKS

 

MD (No entries)

 

ND (2, 0)

 

1                    Heidecker & Inett’s HYDECASTLE NORMAN. All male red/brindle in good coat and with a good head, eye and bone. Moved with drive and maintained his topline and tailset. Would prefer a little more neck and leg.

 

2          Tutchings’ TRIBANNON GYPSY KING AT CROWNEAST. Nice overall type, balanced with coat coming in. Well up on the leg and moved well. Everything as it should be but lost out to 1 on maturity. Time to improve and develop.

 

UGD (4, 0)

 

1                    Ward’s VANAJAM DIRTY DANCING. Red/brindle with a lovely head, eye, stop and expression. Balanced with good body. Showy. Moved with the desired drive from the rear.

 

2                    King & Leighton’s CARRADINE MAYBE THE MOON AT HARKINLEIGH. Grey/brindle, masculine dog with similar qualities to 1 – head, eye and expression – also moved out well.

 

3                    SPIREBROOKE DAWN RAIDER

 

PGD (7, 0)

 

A good class

 

1                    Catto’s BIRSELAW FOLLOW YOUR DREAM. Grey/red brindle with an excellent head, stop, ear placement, bone, coat, topline. Moved around the ring with purpose.

 

2                    Moseley & Inett’s SPAWYCHE ELIZABETHAN ONYX. Grey/brindle, balanced of good type very similar to 1 with good reach of neck and coat. Pushed 1 hard.

 

3                    Parker-Tucker’s UNIQUECOTTAGE RALEIGH

 

 

LD (6, 1)

 

1                    Smith’s ROCASOVALE RAZZLE DAZZLE. Masculine grey/brindle in good coat. Balanced.  Very pleasing head, neck, shoulders, bone. Moved around the ring with drive. His handler worked hard to keep his attention and showed off his qualities when it mattered. ResCC

 

2                    King & Leighton’s CARRADINE NIGHT LISTENER AT HARKINLEIGH. Another masculine dog of similar type to 1. Balanced with good head, coat. Moved well. Unfortunate to meet 1 in good form -  but that’s showing!

 

3                    Lynch’s FIELDRON CALL MY BLUFF AT LINACRELADS

 

 

OD (9, 2)

 

This was a class teeming with quality and without doubt the best of the day. The first five dogs could change places on another occasion.

 

1          Pollock’s CH LARCHLEA LICENCE TO THRILL AT STANEDYKES. This is a stallion dark red/brindle dog who I have seen in the ring many times. Today I had the chance of examining him at close quarters and he didn’t disappoint. He has an excellent head with good eye (shape and colour) correct bite, big teeth, just right bone. Quality coat of correct texture. Kept his topline on the move. Handler did all that was necessary to keep the dogs’ attention at all times. Didn’t put a foot wrong when asked to move and deserved his CC and BIS

 

2          Templeton’s CH LARCHLEA TIME TO ENTERTAIN. Another super grey/brindle dog. Best of heads, mouth, eye. Went around the ring with a great sense of purpose and drive. Balanced. Correct bone, shoulders. My type of Cairn and a worthy Champion of the breed.

                       

2                    Ward’s VANAJAM POP IDOL

 

BD (2, 0)

 

1                    Warne’s SPIREBROOKE DAWN RAIDER. 2 nd in Junior

 

2          Kinchin’s TYREECES TRICKS. 3 rd in Junior. Red/brindle of nice type with good head, eye bone.

 

SVB (7-10 years incl) (5, 3)

 

1                    Munday’s CH STRADIVARIOUS SONATA. Lovely 8 ½ year old grey/brindle in good coat and with excellent head, mouth and teeth. Moved well.

 

2                    Pearson’s CLOVERBROOK CORONA CRACKER ShCM. Pretty cream who didn't look her 10 plus years. Liked her head and she moved steadily. A little short of coat. Enjoyed her day out.

 

MPB (1, 0)

 

1          Pett’s DOONRAE JOIE DE VIVRE. A very promising, feminine red/brindle young puppy in very good coat. Lovely outline, balanced, tail set on well level topline. Responsive to her handler who got the best out of her. At only 8 ½ months looks to have a good future.

 

PB (9, 0)

 

Class of promising youngsters.

 

1                    Short’s GLENCHESS MITSOUKA. Very alert 11 month red/brindle, balanced with a typical head, proper mouth with correct bite. Tail carried well and in full coat. Moved well. Balanced. Another promising youngster. BPB

 

2                    Thomas’ TYCADNO STARLET. A lovely 11 ½ month old, balanced, cream who looked good from every angle. Best of toplines, head, mouth and tailset. Moved very well but coat not quite as good as 1 (that’s temporary) and not quite the animation of 1 today.

 

3                    Osborn’s TWESLAM MAID BY MAGIC

 

JB (12, 7)

 

1                    Templeton’s LARCHLEA CAN’T REMEMBER. Dark brindle just turned 12 months so looked a little immature. Nevertheless a typical showy Cairn with good head, ear placement, mouth, teeth, bite, bone and overall shape. Alert and attentive to her handler and move with drive. Bright future.

 

2                    Bambridge’s LUVEMAL CHERRY BEA. Another alert and attentive cream/wheaten young lady who moved well. She had a good head and neck. Her coat was a little short.

 

3                    Braybrook’s CLOVERBROOK XTRA FACTOR

 

MB (3, 0)

 

1                    Osborn’s TWESLAM WINTER MAGIC. Only 9 months old but this red/brindle moved well. Nicely balanced. Liked her head and eye. Coat in good order and more furnishings would complete the picture.

 

2                    Percy’s WINETTA MY KIND OF GIRL. Red, well up on the leg. The head was ok but not as feminine as 1. Moved well. Quality coat.  Struggled to keep her topline on the move.

 

3                    Janes’ THERHYSE OLWAYS MOANIN

 

NB (7, 2)

 

1                    TYCADNO STARLET. 2nd in a strong puppy class.

 

2                    Williams’ CARRADINE TAFFY’S GIRL. Dark red/brindle with good ear placement and dark eye. Preferred the substance and overall balance of 1.

 

3          Braybrook’s CLOVERBROOK HERE I COME

 

UGB (9, 3)

 

1                    Roberts’ CANNWOOD DANISH AFFAIR. Wheaten with good head, stop, front and neck. Would like more coat. Strode out with purpose. Overall a nice type.

 

2                    Shannon & Storr’s BRENNDARCY BUTTON IT JW. Another good headed wheaten with good bone and coat in good condition. Shorter neck than 1. Also moved well. Close decision between these two.

 

3                    Parker-Tucker’s UNIQUECOTTAGE SEA BREEZE

 

PGB (13, 6)

 

1                    Catto’s BIRSELAW BEWITCHED. I fell for this ultra feminine grey/brindle. Lovely head,  eye, ear placement. Good neck that flowed into good shoulders and level topline. Body of substance and spring of rib. Good front and moved out with excellent drive. Very alert.

CC, ResBIS, BOS

 

2                    Osborn’s TWESLAM SERENDIPITY. Unfortunate to meet the winner of this class. Similar type but a little shorter in neck and leg. Nevertheless well deserved her place in this strong class.

 

3                    Moseley’s CARRADINE SAPPHIRE AT SPAWYCHE

 

LB (11, 4)

 

1                    Ward’s VANAJAM LEADING LADY. Wheaten with a lovely outline. Liked her head, eyes, ear placement, neck and topline which she kept on the move. Moved out and back with drive. Alert and catches the eye. Very good prospect.

 

2                    Robinson’s CRUZO CAITLIN. A nice type, grey/brindle, up to size with pleasing overall shape. Moved adequately but not as effortlessly as 1.

 

3                    King, Leighton, Innet & Harrison’s CURTISEY FOREIGN ACCOUNT WITH CARRADINE

 

OB (11, 6)

 

1                    Short’s GLENCHESS CUT THE MUSTARD. A lovely red bitch in excellent coat and condition. Very good head, eye, mouth and stop. Well balanced and sound construction all over. Good bone. Tail a little proud. Strode around the ring with the necessary drive and showed very well. RCC.

 

2                    Harrison & Innet’s NONCOM MINNIE THE MINX AT CARRADINE. Grey/brindle. Another nice type of feminine bitch though smaller than 1. Liked her head, eye, mouth. Coat and topline ok but tailset appeared a little low. Preferred the movement of 1 and she did look as though she was giving her handler a hard time today.

 

3                    Firth’s CAIRNGOLD CANDLELIGHT

 

BB (5, 2)

 

1                    Day’s TREKHILLI PICCALLI JW. Dark red/brindle with everything in the right place. Liked her substance, head, coat and tailset. Moved ok.

 

2          Williams’ ELTICHARM CELTIC DANCER AT JACQBRIDGE. Good headed cream puppy in good coat. Liked her eye and ear placement. Needs to mature.
