Saturday 10 December 2011 CAIRN TERRIERS I very much enjoyed judging our breed at LKA and thank the committee
for their invitation and the hospitality I received. In common with the opinion of many judges nowadays, I thought there
was more depth of quality in the bitches than in the dogs, but having said
that there were some top quality males present. There were some really lovely heads in both dogs and bitches
and this is good to see as the head is so important in defining our breed. I only found a couple of suspect mouths so
far as the bite was concerned, but there were a lot with very small teeth
which I found disappointing. Coats
and presentation were generally good. Some bitches were overweight which
spoilt their outline. So far as
movement is concerned, we still have some loose fronts but otherwise I
thought movement generally had improved since I last judged. Puppy Dog (1,0a) 1 Felters and Rumens Landbuck
Para Handy. 9 month old dark brindle,
well up to size. Nice head and
expression, good ears. In full good
quality coat. Rear movement OK but
still needs to tighten up a little in front.
Hope he doesn’t grow on much more. Junior Dog (3, 2a) 1 Peers Tweedisle Sea Scout. Wheaten brindle with dark points. Good eye, neat ears, correct bite. Coat past its best. Moved OK behind but is another who needs
to tighten up in front. Would have
liked a little more of him all over. Post Graduate Dog (6,2a) 1 Robinson’s Cruzo Bilbo
Baggins. Well balanced, light red,
lively dog, well up to size. Nice
head with dark eye and neat ears.
Good neck reaching into well laid back shoulders. Well muscled rear, parallel hocks well let
down. Good harsh coat. Moved with drive. Very promising.
Limit Dog (5,0a) 1 Braybrook’s Cloverbrook Codebreaker. Wheaten with a simply beautiful head. Well balanced overall, level topline, good
rear angulation. In full , well
presented coat. Moved with drive, and
though I felt he could have been more positive in front this dog has so much
breed “type” he cannot be overlooked.
Open Dog (8,2a) 1 Shannon & Storr’s
Brenndarcy Trouble at Mill. What a
lovely dog. Fitted the standard so
well. Grey brindle of moderate size
and so well balanced. Good, masculine
head with that true Cairn expression, excellent forehand, level topline, good
bend of stifle, parallel hocks. Well
presented quality coat. He moved
around the ring reaching well in front and with propulsion from the
rear. Pleased to award him the CC and
BOB. In the group, I thought he
looked an excellent ambassador for the breed
3 Inett & Bambridge’s
Carradine’s Crackaway Jack Minor Puppy Bitch (4,0a) 1 Clarke’s Lentrica Sweet
Sensation. Delightful six month old
red with such a feminine head and expression. Good length of neck into well placed shoulders, good spring of
rib and length of back with correct tailset.
Well angulated in the rear which enabled her to move with drive around
the ring with amazing self possession for one so young. This was her first show and she was not in
the least overawed by her surroundings.
One to watch for the future. BP
Junior Bitch (8,0a) 1 A good class. The first three could change places on
another day. Thompson’s Castleline
Peggy Sue. Very attractive light red
with lovely outline. Pretty feminine
head, correct bite. Good reach of
neck into well placed shoulders. Good
length of back. Strong quarters. Moved very well. Liked her overall balance.
Post Graduate Bitch (15,8a) 1 Culliford’s Brenndarcy Maid
in Heaven. Well balanced quality light
red in full coat. Attractive head and
expression, good shoulder placement, plenty of upper arm, good rear angulation. Moved and showed well.
Limit Bitch (8,2a) 1 Braybrook’s Cloverbrook Xtra Factor. Red brindle with dark points. Another beautiful head from this
kennel. Deep stop, well sunken dark
eye, broad skull, neat correctly placed ears
- she had it all. Lovely straight topline, strong quarters,
with excellent angulation. Good harsh
coat. Moved well, with plenty of
drive, and with spirit. Strongly
considered for RCC.
Open Bitch (9, 2a) A nice class. 1 Harding’s Ch Cannwood
Remember Holly. Very eye-catching red
of correct proportions with a super outline.
Attractive head with true Cairn expression. Nice dark eye, neat ears.
Excellent forehand with plenty of upper arm. Good spring and depth of rib, strong loin, well muscled
quarters, hocks parallel and well let down.
Presented to a very high standard.
This top quality bitch moved round the ring with such ease. CC.
Good Citizens Bitch (3, 2a) 1
Byrne’s
Little Miss Tonka. Red, shown in
quality coat, neatly presented. Level
topline which she held on the move, and good tail carriage. Moved well round the ring. Well handled. Fiona Cameron |
