Critique
for the Dogs by Jim Pollock To be invited to judge a club show is an honour, an invitation to
judge a centenary show has to be extra special. My thanks to the committee
and members for their invitation. What could be a better way
to sign off my judging career. A
highlight of the weekend was the dinner on Saturday night. Members of the
committee worked hard to make everyone feel very welcome. The speeches were
confined to Mrs.Somerfield who proposed the toast to the club, and the
chairman of the kennel club professor steve dean who was both humorous and
informative. Matts Lindborg said a few nicely chosen words
on behalf of the swedish club which were much appreciated. Special thanks to my
stewards, Jennie Fairwether and Sharon Confue who helped enormously,
especially when the referee was called for. When my fellow judge, Mrs.
Roberts and I disagreed, we did so in a constructive manner and accepted Miss
Hudson’s decisions with good grace. I make no apologies for being a head purist. For me the head is the
mark of the breed. Lose the head and we lose breed “type.” What are you
left with? A dog who may be a very nice terrier, but a Cairn terrier?, i
think not. I looked for a Cairn with a good head, a not excessive neck
that runs into well placed sloping shoulders and the hard to define, balance.
Added to that i wanted “type”. One or two mouths were less than perfect but nothing drastic.
One or two exhibits had lighter eyes and one or two
rounder eyes than i would like. I found it disappointing that there were so
few dog pups. I know some people find it difficult to keep a dog, but if
there is a good dog in the litter that you don’t want, try to find someone
who will show him. The breed needs good stud dogs. Before the show i had been told that dogs were improving in quality
and beginning to draw equal with bitches. Certainly i was pleased with the
final line up. At the least there were four or five dogs in the entry i would
have been happy to award a c.c. Dog CC. and B.I.S. Catto’s Ch. Birselaw The Thrill
Of It All: Outstanding dog who commands attention. Excellent head
that screams breed type. Eyes, ears and mouth all as they should be. A neck
that is just right, neither to long or to short, does not drop straight down
on to his shoulders but runs into correct well placed shoulders. Deep, well
sprung ribs. Level back, muscle tone just right, good but not excessive turn
of stifle. By no means light boned. In excellent coat and condition.
Standing, he responds so well for his handler that he can “shorten”
himself. On the move and viewed from the side it is clear that he is well
balanced with correct length of back. Moves o.k. and strides round the
ring as if he owns it. R.C.C.
and R. B.I.S.. Thomas’s Tycadno I Spy: Most attractive cream
dog who is beginning to make a name for himself. Lovely head and expression,
correct eye, small ears, good stop and correct mouth. Good neck running into
sloping shoulders. Correct front assembly, good rib and level top line.
Muscle tone as it should be. Plenty behind his tail giving him good bend of
stifle. In excellent coat. Very good outline so well balanced. Can play
his handler up a little but moves well when he settles. Eye catching dog who
is still maturing. Has yet to come to his very best. Minor puppy. 4. 1 absent. First, Catto’s Nordcairn Once
Upon A time At Birselaw. Six and a half months promising baby. Very sure of
himself. Head still developing but has correct eye, small ears and mouth all
o.k.. In very good coat and condition. Already developing a rapport with his
handler. Be interesting to see how he comes on. Second, Peers’s
Tweedisle Relight My Fire. Light red puppy, handles well on the table. Pleasing
head, enough neck, well bodied and in good coat. my notes say “still
maturing”. Not co-operating all that well with his handler today. lost his
top line a little on the move. Shows himself to advantage when he pulls
himself together. Might be better in a bigger class with more dogs to spark
him off. Puppy. 2 First, and best puppy dog. Miller’s Cornton Dark Corrie. Dark brindle, Mature
pup, nice head and expression, enough neck, correct shoulders, good rib, and
well bodied. Level top line retained on the move. front action could be
better but has time on his side. Second,
Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Winsford. liked this puppy a lot. Handled
very well on the table. Head has all the makings, eye, small ears, mouth. all
as they should be. Excellent coat and condition, good spring of rib,
enough behind his tail, good bend of stifle. Unfortunately he decided he
would prefer to be elsewhere and didn’t see the point in walking round the
ring. When he gets his act together we will hear more from him. Junior. 5 1 absent. First,
Percy’s Winetta Sir Ivor. Light brindle with a lot to like. typical head,
good neck, good shoulders and front assembly as it should be. Good spring of
rib and level top line with correct tail set. Good bend of stifle giving him
drive. Well presented and moved ok. Was not disgraced in the final line up
and will watch his future with interest. Second,
Poile’s Kedvaiy Hogmanay, Brindle, similar to first in some ways, nice head,
neck shoulders and body all ok. handles well on the table, in decent jacket,
moved ok. Just thought first looked just that little bit better on the day. Third,- Paige’s, Glenrood Trojan Prince. Res. Newton’s Marie’s Magic Moonraker At Strathinver. Maiden 1 First. Uniquecottage
Winsford Novice 3 First,
Drew’s Tycadno Thriller At L’Artiste, Wheaten, good head, dark
eye. Handles well on the table. In profuse coat that could probably be taken
down a little to his advantage, might help his top line, same with his
weight. moved ok. Second,
Saiche’s Lindcoly Outta The Blue, dark brindle with good harsh
coat, decent head with dark eye.Well bodied, level top, good tail carriage,
moved ok. more assertive than, Third, Brennan's Cloverbrook I Mean Business At Milindack. Undergraduate, 2 , 1 absent, First,
Inett &
Engbretsen’s Carradine Dexter, Dark brindle, typical head, with decent
stop, dark eye, good harsh coat ,enough neck, decent shoulders, well
bodied with good spring of rib. Level top line. Not a big dog but balanced.
Moved ok. Special Beginners, (1) First, Morley’s,
Kedvaiy Locamotion, dark brindle shown in good coat and condition, pleasing
head, ok for neck and shoulders, well bodied and in good condition moved ok. Graduate, (5) First, Pearson’s
Cloverbrook Special Effect, dark brindle with decent head, enough neck,
ok for shoulder placement, ok for spring of rib, coat ok and good bend of
stifle. Moved ok. Second,
Day’s Cherrycrack Ludo At Trekhilli, grey brindle with lots to like.
Nice head, good neck and shoulders, enough spring of rib. Plenty behind his
tail giving good bend of stifle. A bit wayward in front action today. Third, - Newtons Marie’s Magic Moonraker With Strathinver. Post Grad, 4 First, Shaws Honey Hall Headboy. Light grey with lots to like, good
head with good dark eye, small ears. correct stop. enough neck running into
well placed shoulders. Handles well on the table, well bodied. moves ok when
he stops tugging at the lead. Another I gave more than a second look in the
challenge. Second, Miller’s Cornton Coulter. Bigger made all round, Good head in
all departments. Just enough neck. Good spring of rib. In good coat. Could
lose a little weight to his advantage. Movement not as positive as first. Third, Saich’s Lindcoly Dark Knight.
Limit. 8
First, Thomas’s Tycadno I spy. Second, Waites’s
Svendalens Snow Knight. Wheaten with lots to like. Liked his head. correct
neck running into well placed shoulders. Well bodied with good spring of rib.
Good coat, good bend of stifle. My notes say,” not as sure of himself on the
move”. Nice dog who catches the eye. Third Lamb& Saltmarsh’s Renshaw There And Back
Again Under Macmoon. Open. 9, 2 absent. First, Ch. Birselaw The Thrill Of It All. Second, Percy’s Winetta
Stand And Deliver. Very typical dark brindle. All male with good head. Level
back with good rib cage, Handles really well on the table. Well balanced and
in very good coat and condition. If C.C.s were awarded on movement this dog
would already be made up. Don’t think there was a better moving dog on show.
Liked him a lot and he is always going to be in contention. Third, Bateman& Gompel’s Carradine Terries Tipple. Vets. Dog
or bitch, 7-9 years. First Grainger’s Ch. Devil In Disguise. Lovely red boy in full coat and bloom. Lovely
head and still got a good outline. One look tells you this a Ch. dog. Second, Thomas’ Ch. Raskens Romping

much weight today. Third, Weinberger’s Ch. Correnie
Crazy for you. Another quality bitch enjoying one more day in the limelight. Vets. Dog or
bitch 10 years or over.. First, and best
vet, Braybrook’s Ch. Cloverbrook Loaded
Dice, another old favourite. An old gentleman now in his 13th. year, but
still enjoying his day out. Head, top line, all still good. Second, Dollan’s Ch. Glenrood
Magic Solitaire, Over 11, coat still good, Looking at her handler as if to
say, i’ve seen all this before Didn’t
stop her remembering what it is all about What impressed me with all the veterans is
that in their day they had all been top cairns and it still showed. As
each came into the ring, a glance told me we had quality here. Jim Pollock |
Critique
for the Bitches By Chris Roberts Wow!!! What a weekend. It was
truly an honour and a privilege to be invited to judge the S.C.T.C. Centenary
Show. I had been looking forward to
this weekend combined with the Joint C.T.C. Championship show being judged
the following day for quite a while, and I must admit that certainly the
events on the Saturday and the Saturday evening exceeded my
expectations. It was evident from the
attention paid to detail in organising the weekend that the S.C.T.C. had put
in some very long hours and a lot of hard work, so thank you on behalf of
everyone who was able to attend. I shared the judging on Saturday with Mr Jim Pollock who presided over
the dogs. Best laid plans were
scuppered, when our referee couldn’t be found when it was time to open the
proceedings, so judging was delayed for a short while, however the ‘show went
on’ as they say and our referee Mrs Jean Hudson was discovered in the hotel
reception waiting to be collected. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my stewards Sharon
Confue and Jenny Fairweather for keeping me on track throughout the
afternoon. It’s so easy to be negative with the quality of our breed at the
moment, but we must remember that we don’t have the big kennels with their
depth of quality and type that we had 10 years or so ago, therefore we have
to work with what we have. I was pleasantly surprised in the quality of some of the bitch
classes, as I had thought that the quality of dogs at previous shows had been
surpassing the bitches. However I was disappointed in the lack of consistency
of this quality. In some classes I
found that either the exhibits were ‘shelly’, slab sided and with little
substance or to the other extreme, overweight, and cloddy. Round eyes and lack of stop are also a
problem. I found two ‘not so good’
mouths, and as a matter of interest I also paid particular attention to feet
and claws and found that a number of exhibits had smooth soft pads and a
handful had long claws. The latter two conditions can be rectified by the
correct exercise and cutting/filing the claws. The other problems will be
much more difficult to put right. My bitch C.C. winner Doonrae Lexicon of Love, excelled in her free
flowing movement and appeared to cover the ground effortlessly, which came
from her excellent front construction and strong, well muscled hind quarters.
She has the best of mouths, good stop, correct eye and ear placement, very
good quality coat. My res bitch C.C. Ch. Landbuck Xanthe needs no introduction as she
really is full of quality and type, however she really played her handler up
today and spoilt her chances. I did have to concede on the day to the referee’s decision of the dog
being best in show….In any case I couldn’t possibly have let Jim have his own
way without putting up a bit of a fight!!!!! Minor Puppy Bitch (10, 1) 1st Robinson’s,
Cruzo Capriole. Just 6 months old, wheaten brindle with dark points. Very
feminine head and expression. Very much a baby, but was full of confidence,
ideal length of neck and lay back of shoulders. Level topline, good tailset, showed and moved well for one so
young. 2nd Osborn’s,
Tweslam Whispered Spell. 7 month old wheaten. Good head, correct eyes, neat
ears. Level topline good tailset, covered the ground well. 3rd Firth’s
Cairngold Cliquot. Puppy Bitch (6, 2) 1st Shannon
& Storr’s Brendarcy Tommelise. 11 month old red brindle with dark points,
in profuse coat. Loved her head and
very feminine expression, good mouth, eye and stop, correct ear carriage.
Good topline and tailset, good conformation, liked her overall appearance.
Moved and showed well. Best Puppy. 2nd Confue’s
Anjofra Mad About Me. 10 month old grey brindle. Another lovely feminine head
and expression with everything in the right place. Coat just coming in, not
as positive in movement as 1. 3rd Lindborg
& Nordstrand’s Rasken’s Respect and Fun. Junior Bitch (10, 1) 1st Marshall
& Gavaghan’s Doonrae Million Dollar Baby, wheaten brindle with lovely
dark ears and muzzle. She took my eye
as she came into the ring and didn’t disappoint on the table. Best of heads
and expression, good length of neck, excellent front assembly, good top line
which she kept on the move, good strong quarters which propelled her around
the ring effortlessly. Still a bit raw at the moment, but her time will come. 2nd Alexander’s
Stirlingview Peggy Sue, Red brindle well presented in excellent coat. A
little heavier set than 1 and not as feminine a head. She lost her topline as she moved across
my eye line on occasions, but excellent show girl. 3rd Inett, Clay
& Harrison’s Carradine Secret Snowdrop Maiden Bitch (1) 1st Owen’s
Caldwall Carefree, Wheaten brindle, whose just growing a new coat. Very feminine head and expression, best of
mouths. Would like a bit more of her, but she has time on her side. Moved
well when settled. Novice Bitch (3,1) 1st Dolan’s
Glenrood Magic Spell, well presented grey brindle in best of coats. Very
feminine head and expression, good mouth, nice length of neck, good top line
and tailset. Liked her overall appearance, showed well. 2nd Petts
Doonrae Norma Jean, wheaten brindle with dark points, nice head, feminine
expression. Movement was a bit
wayward both front and aft and was proud of her tail today. Undergraduate Bitch
(4) 1st Shannon
& Storr’s Brenndarcy Dizee Rascal, Lovely condition Red with dark points in
profuse coat. Best of feminine heads and expression. Excelled in front with a
lovely length of neck flowing into well angulated shoulders. Correct shaped
rib cage, with a deep brisket. Level topline, which she kept on the move,
good tailset. Moved well when
settled. One to watch for the future. 2nd Braybrook’s
Cloverbrook Copyright, Very feminine grey brindle in good coat and well
presented. Lovely head and
expression, good mouth, eye and ear placement, well defined stop. Level
topline, good depth of brisket. Not
as positive in movement as 1. Showed
well. 3rd Kinchin’s
Carradine Ruby Tuesday at Pennidazzle. Special Beginners Bitch (3) 1st McIntyre’s
Glenchess Chloe Dark brindle with a good harsh coat. Lovely head and feminine
expression, level topline, steady mover, showed well. 2nd Waite’s
Seveek Snow Angel with Svendalens, wheaten brindle, in profuse coat. Feminine
head and expression, steady mover but wasn’t enamoured with her show career
today. 3rd Laker’s
Wizoz Miss Backchat Graduate Bitch (6, 1) 1st Smee’s
Malmay Sunshine Sally, Dark brindle, well presented in good coat. Lovely outline and balance, but for me, to
complete the picture I would like more of her. Best of movers, very attentive
to her handler, showed well. 2nd Hewitt’s
Littleacorn Aliye, Grey brindle, not a lot to choose between these two, as
the comments for 1 apply to this one, however I felt that today this one was
not as positive in movement as 1. 3rd Confue’s
Anjofra Mymble Post Graduate Bitch
(7, 3) 1st Bennett’s
Maximal Dancing on the Moon, grey brindle, with a very feminine head and
expression. Good topline and tailset, could do with losing a little weight.
Moved ok. 2nd Warburton’s
Elmcairn Rosanna, wheaten brindle, nice type, feminine head, good topline and
tailset. Tended to have a rolling
action today when moving. 3rd Hawkins
Mazlar Once Upon a Dream Limit Bitch (8, 1)
For depth of quality this was the best class of the day. 1st Pett’s
Doonrae Lexicon of Love 2nd Lindborg
& Nordsrand’s Rasken’s Running
Merlene Ottey, wheaten brindle. Best of heads, good length of neck flowing
into well placed shoulders. Level topline and good tailset. She’s been doing
a bit of D.I.Y. trimming at the base of her tail and rear leg, which spoilt
the picture. Preferred the movement of 1, but another day?? 3rd Bateman
& Inett’s Carradine in Love with Amy Open Bitch (10, 2) 1st Felter’s
& Rumen’s Ch. Landbuck Xante 2nd Lindborg
& Nordstran’s Raskens Rich Miss Melbourne wheaten brindle, another
quality bitch from this kennel. Very feminine head and expression. Well presented in good coat. Nice outline,
good topline and tailset, moved well. 3rd Hewitt’s
Littleacorn Stay in Touch. Chris Roberts(Mrs) Judge |
