Birmingham Canine Association General Championship Show
Saturday 1st September,
2012 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire Cairn Terriers Many thanks to those
exhibitors who honoured me with such a good entry; I enjoyed going over their
dogs. Only a fool would try to justify a seemingly unexplainable act, so will
leave well alone. My comments on the breed
are: Delighted to have found
nearly all exhibits had good mouths with decent sized teeth. A neck should be of
medium length - not too short or too long - a few were too long. The problem of when going
away - being too close and in some cases also partially cow-hocked. The bitches were far
superior to the dogs until it came to BOB, which I awarded to the dog, Ch
Bilbo Baggins - who though not pulled out in the Terrier Group - represented
the breed well in the Main Ring. Veteran Dog: No Entries Minor Puppy Dog (3 - 0 abs) 1 Waugh's Tribannon War Dance an attractive
cream dog with dark points; still needing ring experience but moved soundly
when coming or going; lovely head with correct eye and ear placement, level
topline with good tailset; good double coat of the required texture. BPD
& BPIB 2 Keeves' Seveek Dare To Be Red a distinctive
red dog, well up to size but needing to be a shade longer in back but scored
over 3rd in front movement. 3 Brown's Becana Cockney Rebel. Puppy Dog (3 - 0 abs) 1 Bateman & Gompels' Carradine Terries Tipple a
wheaten with brindle dog built in good proportions and possessing an
excellent head which he held correctly whilst on the move, one I liked very
much and when selecting my best puppy dog, gave my reason to the handler for
him missing out. 2 Bradshaw's Newfield Harvest Moon Over Brenndarcy
a mature red brindle of a good size, head developing a distinct masculine
expression; excellent neck with well angulated shoulders; its overall balance
was spoilt by being touch too long in the back. 3 Saich's Lindcoly Sword In The Stone. Junior Dog (2 - 0 abs) 1 Burgin's Noncom Hugo First a brindle of a
nice size with correct length of leg; shown in a decent coat; well bodied
with correct rib and coupling; well handled and moved soundly. 2 Saich's Lindcoly
Dark Knight a grey brindle which fits the same description as given to
1st but lost out on coat - another day, another judge, and the positions
could be reversed. Graduate Dog (5 - 0 abs) 1 Percy's Winetta Stand And Deliver red brindle
just out of Junior and maturing nicely; definitely masculine with a pleasing
head and expression; straight front, good neck and pleasing topline; little
loose at front but correct rear movement; well handled and presented in a
good condition. 2 Lamb & Saltmarsh's Renshaw There And Back
Again a well-balanced grey brindle of a good type; good head with correct
stop and eye; level topline and correct tailset; a very close contest today,
yet a dog which should do well for its owners when it reaches full maturity. 3 Newton's Strathinver Specification. Post Graduate Dog (4 - 1 abs) 1 Parker-Tucker's Uniquecottage Jumbuck a
cream, well up to size, with a good masculine head; good neck, well-bodied
with correct rib and coupling; liked his overall balanced proportions; shown
in full coat. One which certainly needs firm handling as given too much of
the lead, he would take over. Deserved the RDCC. 2 Keeve & Bennett's Seveek Who Dares Wins a
well up to size wheaten brindle with a pleasing profile; good head, stop and
eyes; nicely bodied with decent spring of rib; correct movement and handled
well. 3 Lamb & Saltmarsh's Birselaw Fable Sh.CM Limit Dog (2 - 0 abs) 1 Confue's Anjofra I'm Not Going, JW good head
well-furnished with correct ear placement, correct colour and size of eye,
good mouth with big teeth; with a good double coat of correct texture;
presented a nicely balanced profile when standing; taken time but he has
matured well. 2 Thompson's Castleline Bang On Time a wheaten
brindle with a good black mask and dark ears; good body with correct rib and
coupling; shown in full coat, well handled and moved well. Open Dog (3 - 0 abs) 1 Robinson's Ch Cruzo Bilbo Baggins a handsome
wheaten with the best of heads complete with dark points; small ears, dark
eyes, and excellent mouth; with lovely balanced proportions and of the
correct size; a quality dog of a good type which presents a super profile
both standing and moving. DCC & BOB 2 King & Leighton's Ch Carradine Night
Listener At Harkinleigh a grey brindle which makes the most of its good
attributes; always makes the most of the ring and is a worthy champion but,
today, was unfortunate to came up against one that I consider to be a little
bit special. 3 Saich's Lindcoly Dark Enterprise. Good Citizen Dog (1 - 0 abs) 1 Keeves & Bennett's Seveek Who Dares Wins Veteran Bitch: No Entries Minor Puppy Bitch (5 - 0 abs) 1 Yates & Johnson's Penley Hester a well
handled and well trained youngster which put in a show that made others of
the same age look babies. Feminine expression on a good head with small ears
and the correct eye; well turned out and presented in excellent coat; head
held as it should, high, whether standing or moving; a very good prospect at
this stage. 2 Keeves' I Dreamed A Dream a delightful
wheaten brindle youngster; nice head with big teeth and correct bite;
straight front with medium bone, decent neck; level topline with good
tailset; moved well. 3 Keeves' Living The Dream - copper red in
colour. Puppy Bitch (5 - 0 abs) 1 Robinson's Cruzo Blueberry a smart wheaten
brindle with dark points; nice head with good stop and correct eye and ear
placement; nicely turned out in good double coat of good texture; well
constructed throughout with good neck, shoulders and topline; would liked a
higher tailset but her movement and ring presence scored in her favour. BPB
& RBCC 2 Confue's Anjofra Moi Assi similar to 1st but
with a better tailset; yet still a youngster needing more time for her
movement to settle down. 3 Bateman & Inett's Carradine In Love With Amy.
Junior Bitch (8 - 1 abs) 1 Rouillon's Sweet Surprise Cloud of Joy a
wheaten with dark points; very nicely made of good proportions; good head
with the correct eye to provide a lovely feminine expression; moved soundly
but having a feeling of her being young, then asked her age and found she was
a 10 month old puppy. I had no hesitation in selecting her as being the class
winner. 2 Shaw's Honeyhall Hearsay a wheaten brindle
which is waiting for a new coat to be at her best but is of a type which I
favour; good head; clean neck and shoulders; level topline with good tailset;
decent length of leg; well balanced and moves soundly. 3 Burnett's Kilnyard Good Heavens. Graduate Bitch (7 - 0 abs) I had to reverse my first and second choice in the line-up
placing, as although standing with tail up, she had lost the alertness or
interest that's expected from a terrier. 1 Percy's Winetta Rebel Rebel a wheaten
brindle with dark points, good head; neck and shoulders; level topline; good
tailset; with good textured coat; moved well in front but would like a little
more space at rear; shows continually. 2 Shannon & Storr's Brenndarcy Snedronningen wheaten
with good head and correct mouth; decent neck; level topline with good
tailset; covered the ground well and much to like about her. 3 Parker-Tucker's Uniquecottage Snowy Egret. Post Graduate Bitch (7 - 0 abs) 1 Dolan's Castleline Peggy Sue a wheaten which
appears to show herself; quality head with nice expression; well bodied with
correct ribcage; balanced in profile; moves with drive. 2 Kinton's Playing
For Tyme a grey brindle with dark points; shown in full coat; good head;
medium neck; nicely bodied with good spring to rib and correct coupling;
handled and moved well. 3 Hawkins' Mazlar Once Upon A Dream. Limit Bitch (4 - 1 abs) 1 Waugh's Tribannon In The Limelite a wheaten
brindle with a good head which is enhanced by her black mask that provides
for her gorgeous expression; nice to go over on the table and found correct
shoulder placement; level topline; well set on tail; believe she moved
soundly both ways but the handler could not control her exhilaration when
being assessed for either of the two main awards - a pity. 2 Rouillon's Ginger Rogers a wheaten brindle
of a slightly smaller size but fits into the Standard's requirements, very
well; enjoyed going over her on the table and found a good shaped head with
good stop and a medium length muzzle, good bite with correct dentition; well
balanced overall with an excellent flow from back of skull to tailset; moved
soundly, as expected from her make-up; size was no handicap to her - she just
came up along one I preferred just a little bit more. 3 Kinton's Woodthorpe Maybe This Time -
another very nice bitch. Open Bitch (8 - 2 abs) 1 Waugh & Carlton-Smith's Tribannon Guardian
Angel possesses virtually everything one could wish for in a Cairn show
bitch - Type; excellent head; deep stop; small ears; excellent neck and
shoulders; level topline with correct tailset; shown in good coat; moved
soundly both ways, holding her topline; when moving in profile, showed good
reach and drive. BCC 2 Dolan's Ch Glenrood Masqerade a quality
bitch with an excellent balanced outline and one who's aware of being so - as
she continually keeps showing when in the ring. Nice feminine head held high
with a lovely line flowing down her neck into a level topline and ending at a
tail, set well on. Very sound and moved beautifully around the ring. 3 Shaw's Honeyhall Hi 'N' Dry - another
quality bitch. Good Citizen Bitch (1 - 0 abs) 1 Brynes Little Miss Tonka a smartly turned
out wheaten, good on the table and of a nice shape and size; handled and
moved well, she looked to be enjoying her spell in the spot light and left me
no alternative but to put her in 1st place. Graham Peers
