BIRMINGHAM
CHAMPION DOG SHOW - CAIRN TERRIERS
Apologies for the delay. A few days after the Symposium I had an
op. which didn’t go to plan so I spent a few extra days in hospital. On my
return home I began the report then my computer crashed, it also has been in
the PC World hospital for ten days. Hopefully nothing else will happen !!
Many thanks to the Birmingham Committee for their hospitality,
also my two very efficient stewards, last but definitely not least the
exhibitors for the excellent entry. The highlight of the day for me was the
opportunity to get acquainted with all the Cairns.
Considering the entry as a whole, I felt quite depressed at the
lack of real cairn heads and expression, surely the hallmark of the breed.
Heads lacking stop accompanied by large round , sometimes prominent, eyes look
totally foreign to me. Many had incorrect mouths from very small teeth to variations
of a scissor bite. Presentation was excellent in many cases but head
furnishings back combed and full of ‘product’ does rather detract from the
varminty expression of a working cairn,
apart from contravening K.C. rules and it is obviously cheating. There was more
than a few with dirty smelly coats, a judge’s hands should not be literally
black after handing show dogs.
I was looking for a cairn of medium size with typical head,
correct natural coat and showing some animation, fortunately there were!

masculine dog, good head and expression, harsh coat, moved freely.

Two very worthy
champions
MPD (6: 2ab)
1 Percy’s Winetta Sir
Ivor. Liked the outline of this wh.br. puppy, very nice head, dark eyes and
points, would prefer a little more body on him but I’m sure this will come with
maturity. Very promising. B.P.( shortlisted in puppy group)
2 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Limited Edition. Red
shown in full coat, very typical head with dark eyes, shows all the time,
preferred length of back and rear angulation of 1.
3 Vlieghe & Newton’s
Marie’s Magic Moonraker.
PD (4: 1ab)
1 Mears Glenmear
Magee.This big rangey red was shown in his vest, but did show off his good
topline, tailset, legs and feet and good head, needs to body up, well up to
size. Some ring training could be beneficial !!.
2 Goldfinch’s
Franchaleal Itsallover at Kanawha. Very much smaller red shown in good coat,
nice head,not quite balanced for me,moves well in front not so positive behind.
3 Drew’s Tycadno Thriller at L’Artiste.

Snow Knight. Wh.. medium balance throughtout. Typical head enhanced with dark

proportions, Good stop, dark eyes, harsh coat, well anglated front and rear,
moved and handled well.
2 Kinchin’s Tyreece’s
Tricks at Pennidazzle. Dark br. in exellent coat, typical head, moved soundly,
a little too long in length to be correctly balanced.
PGD (6. 1. ab)
1 Bateman &
Gompels’s Carradine Terries Tipple. Well balanced wh.br. super head and deep stop which gives him correct
expression, good tail set, quality coat, well presented.

well balanced, well angulated front and rear, which shows in his excellent
movement. Correct size. Coat just on
the blow. Showed well in his class but gave up in the challenge..
2 Byrne & Inett’s
Carradine Brian the Lion. A beautifully presented dk.br. with lovely head and
expression, anotjer correctly balanced cairn, sound throughout Although he
moves very well, thought 1 just had the edge today.
3 Percy’s Winetta
Stand and Deliver.
Three superb
cairns.
.OD (8) Another quality class.
1. Robinson’s Ch. Cruzo
Billbo Baggins. This wheaten impresses
with his friendly attitude, he is well up to size, but has an impressive head
complete with deep stop dark eyes and points. correct length of neck for his
size, layback of shoulder and rear angulation. level top line and quality coat,
moves with drive, beautifully presented, just asked for the CC. Competed
strongly for BOB but I thought the bitch’s size was more compatible with the
breed standard.
2. Braybrook’s Ch
Cloverbrook Codebreaker. A very impressive dk. br. cairn. Superb head and
expression, handles so well on the table , good angulation front and rear,

MPB (2)
1. Gavaghan’s Doonrae
Million Dollar Baby. This puppy’s round eyes spoiled the expression for me in

charismatic and shows like a veteran.
