Paignton Ch Show critique Monday 1st
August 2011
What is
becoming the norm at far distant venues a small entry awaited me. I thank the
exhibitors for their entries and giving me the honour of judging their cairns.
I have great concern that we continue to lose the qualities of what
the Cairn Terrier should represent as our breed standard sets, not only in the
males but today I found this creeping into some of the bitch classes. The lower
classes in both sexes was disappointing.
The true Cairn head and expression was hard to find. Variation in size,
type, unsound conformation, heavy shoulders and excess weight, together with
lack or incorrect exercise can give rise to poor movement, which was much in
evidence today. On the plus side dentition has improved as had presentation, no
signs of aggressive behaviour but a couple of the exhibits were overawed by the
noise and atmosphere of the hall. As caretakers of our breed we need to take
urgent action before it is too late. Novice exhibitors should have the opportunity
to observe and examine a top quality Cairn presented in top show condition and
with the supervision and guidance of an unbiased mentor this would help them
along the way and inspire them in their dream of making progress in the
planning of their cairn’s future.

entries
PD 2
1st
Fyfe’s Andrum Hawkeye,10 mth wheaten cream well up to size with strong
masculine head and deep stop, in between coats. Moves with drive.
2nd
Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Renshaw There And Back Again,10 mth G/B smaller model than winner with attractive
head, dark inquisitive eyes and neat
well set ears, body in proportion to size, coat on the blow. Would benefit from
losing a little weight. Holds his top line well on the move and standing.
JD 3 (1abs)
1st
Newton’s Strathinver Specification,11mth wheaten with dark points, up to size,
masculine head good stop and correct dentition. Needs to settle and tighten in
front movement.
2nd,
Keeves & Bennett’s Seveek Who Dares Wins, R/B different type to winner,
maturing nicely, liked his head with dark eyes and neat ears, level top line
with tail bang on top all held together in profile moving and standing.
Movement needs to settle fore and aft.
PGD 3
1st
Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Jumbuck, wheaten up to size masculine dog, head
of equilateral proportions well set on ears and dark eye. Beneath his perfuse
coat I found a well constructed body with clean shoulders and good angulations
front and rear. Nicely presented in top show condition with well muscled
quarters. Gave his handler a hard time and was difficult to assess but I did
observe the true parallel free and sound movement that a cairn should have as
his conformation and condition suggested. This is what won him the RCC today.
2nd
Goud’s Vale Of Athol’s Shaggy Grey Buck, wheaten with an attractive head and
dark points, smaller in structure and more compact, level top line nicely
presented in full coat. Preferred the more masculine outlook of winner.
3rd
Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Fable,
LD 4
1st
Thompson’s Castleline Bang On The Door, w/b medium sized dog with attractive
head and dark points, deep stop and dark eye, stood well forward on
forepaws. Coat on the short side but of
good texture, seemed a bit lethargic
today which reflected in his movement and general well being which cost him top
honours.
2nd
Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Rayleigh,
g/b pleasing head, well constructed dog in full coat shown in good condition
and well presented preferred the head of winner today.
3rd,Marshall’s
Strathgarten Crackerjack.
OD 2
1st
Weinberger’s Ch Larchlea Come Fly With Me To Correnie, Upstanding g/b showing
his many attributes, correct head with dark eye and desirable wistful
expression, neckline flowing into good shoulder placement with level top line. Fully coated and presented
in top show condition, moved freely around the ring making his presence felt,
pleased to award him the CC.
2nd
Morley’s Kedvaiy Locamotion, R/B medium sized,
more compact than winner attractive masculine head with darker mask and
ears, correct bite and deep stop. Stands well forward holding a good profile.
Close fitting harsh jacket on the short side. Movement steady.
MPB No
entries.
PB 1
1st
Thompson’s Castleline Peggy Sue, 11mth cream very pretty ultra feminine bitch
with a true cairn head and expression dark mischievous eye, everything just how
it should be at this age. New coat starting to come in, happy show girl. B/P.
J/B 5
Disappointing class.
1st
Newton’s Strathiver Starturn, still a puppy, cream attractive head with dark
points, well bodied in good coat, movement needs to improve but it was the best in the class.
2nd
Day’s Trekhilli Beanie Baby, G/B just out of puppy, much rangier and leggier
than winner, pretty head with good stop. Not very happy in her surroundings
which reflected in her movement and profile.
3rd,
Hacker’s Teddeana Jorga Fox,
PGB 6
1st
Waugh’s Tribannon In The Limelite, well balanced wheaten bitch of quality one
of the best heads on show today with conformation to match. Elegant neckline flowing into clean well
angulated shoulders level top line and good bend of stifle. True cairn like she
was extremely mischievous and naughty in the ring but sound free flowing
movement could be observed. This bitch needs lots of ring craft and training to
show off her many attributes and realise her full potential.
2nd
Gouds Vale Of Atholl’s Bonnie Galloway, built on smaller lines than winner but
everything in proportion pretty head with dark points, level top line with nice
tail carriage, movement steady.
3rd
Weinberger’s Correnie I Do but I Don’t.
LB 7 (2abs) Best class of the day headed by two
beautiful bitches.
1st
Pett’s Doonrae Joie De Vivre, very aptly named R/B with
dark mask and points which enhanced her
lovely head and alert expression. Good fore chest, nice front and rear quarters
excels in top line which is maintained standing and on the move. Presented in
beautiful show condition with her shining crisp jacket, body fit and well
muscled which enabled her to move freely and soundly around the ring holding
everything together. CC & BOB. Went well in the Terrier Group.
2nd
Dolan’s Glenrood Masquerade, W/B with dark points, true cairn head with dark
twinkling eyes giving her the desired mischievous expression. Beautifully
balanced bitch with lovely reach of neck flowing into a clean shoulder line,
good top line and tail set complete with correct rear assembly. Presented and
shown in top show condition and moving soundly. I just loved her but today
could not quite match the maturity verve and vitality of the winner. I am sure
her day is not very far away. The hardest decision I had to make on the day.RCC
3rd Owen’s
Honeyhall Handful at Caldwall.
OB 2
1st
Short’s Ch Glenchess Cut The Mustard, clear red mature sturdy bitch with good
head and dark eye. Fits the standard in her size and construction and moved
very soundly and freely around the ring maintaining her excellent profile.
Worthy Ch but today had to give way to the younger ladies.
2nd
Dolan’s Glenrood Warrior Princess, well balanced dark grey brindle, attractive
head and dark eye with ample neck and a nicely proportioned body. Not moving as
well as winner today but a nice bitch.
