CAIRN TERRIERS
I had a
most enjoyable day at Paignton and thank the exhibitors for making the long
journey.
The depth of quality in the
bitches, as seems so often to be the case nowadays, was far greater than that
in the dogs, but having said that I was pleased with my principal winners of
both sexes.
I always try to judge the whole
dog, but I do look for good movement as a very important factor -
particularly when viewed from the side when the amount of reach and
drive can be best seen, and that is one reason that I like to move the exhibits
round the ring again at the end of each class so that the spectators hopefully
will see at least one of the reasons for my placings.
On the plus side, there were some
lovely heads, good mouths and all temperaments were excellent. Coats were a bit in between and some too
short, but I suspect the summer weather (well, not for some of us!) has
contributed to this. Movement was
mixed. Some exhibits are close behind
and we have some wide, loose fronts.
Lack of muscle in some rear ends contributes to poor rear propulsion
MPD: (1,0a) Parker-Tucker’s
Uniquecottage Jumbuck (naf) Wheaten 8
month old full of quality. Well shaped
head, broad skull, excellent ear placement.
Good dark eye. Excellent
pigmentation. Good length of neck
flowing into well placed shoulders, level topline, strong quarters. Profuse coat of correct quality, presented
to perfection. A little unsure of his
surroundings at first, but quickly overcame this and moved well. Very promising. BP
PD: (1, 0a) Confue’s Anjofra
I’m Not Going. 10 month old red brindle
with attractive head and expression.
Level topline, good rear angulation, covered the ground well. Would like to feel him body up a little
more but he’s still just a baby so there’s lots of time. Unfortunately his coat was well past its
best but he’s a promising youngster and the coat is a temporary setback.
JD: (2, 0a) 1. Thompson’s Castleline Bang on Time. 13 month old red. Nice head and expression, good mouth. Level topline, good tailset and well angulated rear. Moved well, with drive from behind. A little short of coat but what was there
was good quality. 2. Goldfinch’s Kanawha Kaught in a Draught. Red brindle of 15 months, a little smaller
made than 1 but well proportioned.
Attractive head and alert expression, level topline, co-operated well
with his handler on the move. Not as
positive in front as 1. Could do with a
little more coat.
PGD: (4,0a) 1. Shopland’s Cherrycrack Blackadder. Red brindle with good outline. Not a small dog, but well proportioned. Good head and expression, nice length of
neck, good shoulder placement, level topline, correct tailset. Parallel hocks well let down. Good quality coat. Moved well both ways. In
my opinion still needs to mature a little for the top honours but his day will
come. 2. Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Raleigh. Soundly constructed red brindle in full coat. Well shaped head, though not the expression
of 1. Nice outline. Good depth and spring of rib, well muscled
rear. Moved well. 3.
Goud’s Vale of Atholl’s Shaggy Grey Buck.
LD: (6, 0a) 1. Weinberger’s Larchlea Come Fly with Me to
Correnie. Red brindle, up to size, but
in proportion. Lovely head and
expression. Good depth and spring of
rib, level topline, correct tailset, well let down hocks. Quality coat which when longer will make him
look even better. Moved well and with
drive. I see he is not yet two years
old. When he is fully mature he will be
hard to beat. RCC. 2.
Mears’ Glenmear Marauder.
Eye-catching dark grey brindle in full coat. Nice size. Lovely head
with wicked expression in that dark face!
Well-proportioned body. I would
like just a little more weight on him.
Moved with enthusiasm, but, when he relaxed his tail when standing, it
spoilt his outline for me. 3. King & Leighton’s Carradine Night
Listener to Harkinleigh.
OD: (5, 2a) 1. Smith’s Ch Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle. Strongly made, masculine dog who took command
of the ring the minute he stepped in.
Really beautiful head and expression.
Good stop. Good bone. Excellent legs and feet. Plenty of brisket. Good outline, deep, well sprung ribs, strong loin. Hocks well let down. Raring to go and once he settled he moved
well and with purpose. He is almost
four years old, has matured beautifully and I think is right at the top of his
game. Delighted to award him CC and BOB.
2. Short’s Glenchess All in the
Stars. Dark grey brindle Nice head with correct ear placement. Good reach of neck, level topline, good
depth of rib and supple loin. Moved
very well. 3. Peers’ Tweedisle Guy Mannering.
MPB: (3, 1a) 1. Cloverbrook Carousel at Spirebrooke. Very pretty and feminine 8 month old wheaten
brindle just asking to be noticed.
Lovely head and expression. Good
mouth. Good reach of neck running into
well sloping shoulders, with plenty of upper arm. Moved very well for one so young. A happy, promising baby.
Her attention was distracted in the challenge for best puppy but her day
will come. 2. Inett, Harrison & Clayton’s Carradine Time to Shine. Another very nice puppy. Dark grey brindle, a little smaller than
1. Well shaped head, good dark eye,
good conformation throughout. Moved
very well. Didn’t have quite the
sparkle of 1 today but close decision.
PB: (5, 3a)
1. Peers’ Tweedisle Sorrel. 10 month old wheaten.. Nice overall shape. Pretty head and expression. Good topline and tailset. Moved well.
Needs to mature a lot but quite promising. 2. Vosper’s Cairngold
Guinevere. 9 and a half month old red
in good coat. Not quite as feminine a
head as 1 and carrying a little too much weight. Moved OK when she got going but didn’t seem to be enjoying her
day out too much.
JB: (4, 2a) 1. Dolan’s Glenrood Masquerade. Very pretty light red with a lovely head and
sweet expression. Good neck running
into well placed shoulders, level topline, tail set spot on. Good harsh coat coming in. Good mover.
2. Hewitt’s Little Acorn Stay in
Touch. Another very nice bitch with
similar assets to 1. Difficult decision
but thought that this one didn’t move quite as well in front.
PGB: (7, 2a) 1. Osborns’
Tweslam Maid by Magic. Red with nice
head and expression. Very good outline,
dead straight topline, good tailset.
Coat short but good quality.
Moved very well. 2 Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Sea
Breeze. Very sound red brindle. Good depth and spring of rib, strong loin,
good topline and tailset. Parallel
hocks well let down. Moved well. Preferred head and expression of 1. 3.
Gouds’ Vale of Atholl’s Bonnie Galloway.
LB: (8, 0a) A really lovely
class. Some very good exhibits had to
go cardless. 1. Robinson’s Cruzo Caitlin. Soundly constructed red brindle in quality
coat and good condition. Lovely head
and expression. Good mouth. Excellent forehand with plenty of upper arm
allowing good forward reach when moving.
Topline level and held on the move.
Moved very well with plenty of drive.
Pleased to award her RCC.
2. Hughes’ Gyncairn Royal
Velvet. Eye-catching, feminine wheaten
brindle with the prettiest of heads.
Strong supple loin, well muscled rear.
Profuse good quality coat. Moved
very well. 3. Thomas’s Tycadno Starlet.
Very close decision between these three bitches.
OB: (9, 0a) Another excellent
class full of quality. 1. Smee’s Malmay Sky’s the Limit. Beautifully balanced grey brindle with
feminine head and expression. Good dark
eye, good stop, correct bite, neat well placed ears. Level topline held on the move.
Well muscled rear, hocks parallel and well let down. Moved so well and happily around the ring
and asked to be noticed. Nice size, so
well put together and full of Cairn spirit.
Delighted to award her the CC. I
understand I awarded the same honour to her mother a few years ago so I must
like the type! 2. Clarke’s Conundrum Sweeter for Me for
Lentrica. Grey brindle with the most beautiful
head and expression. Excellent front,
lovely level topline, correct tail set , but above all she has attitude. She fills the ring with her personality and
her breed type. She went around that
ring as if she owned it. She could
perhaps be slightly better in rear movement, but one must take the whole dog
into consideration and her other attributes won her second place in this lovely
class. 3. Dolan’s Glenrood Warrior Princess.
