Awarding BOB
Manchester Ch Show Cairn Terriers This was the first
time for a number of years that I had awarded CCs to the breed. I know that
it is dangerous to generalise from the specifics of an entry of just 57 at
one show, but I cannot say in all honesty that I thought the breed had
improved during that time. I did feel however that this time heads were by
& large good & so were coats & I was pleasantly surprised that
fronts were better than I had imagined they would be & in the main the
dogs were shown in good condition. I was however concerned by some issues. Firstly
that there were quite a few dogs that were rather up to size. Secondly
there were too many with tails carried rather high & finally a few showed
rather close hind movement. Having said that, I felt that the final line ups
in both dogs & bitches looked very good & I was pleased by the top
winners. 1 Clarke &
Svendalen’s Perseveverance with Lentria, good for size & head developing
quite well though needs time to finish. Scored in coat over 2 here & also
was rather more positive in movement. Enough bone, & OK in neck. Correct
short tail well carried. Good stifle without being overdone there, &
showed well; 2 Inett,
Harrison, King & Leighton’s Carradine George Flies with Harkingleigh, a
very good headed youngster with a good expression & correct strength of
muzzle, good neck & backline, good proportions. Not in the best of coats
today & was not moving as positively as the winner. Good length of body
& OK for tail carriage but did not show with quite the alertness of the
winner; 3 Peers’ Performing
The Dream for Tweedisle. JD (3,1) 1 Keeves’ Seveek
Double Dice, certainly fits the standard for having a natural appearance.
Very good in head & expression with a good skull & correct head
proportions. Behaved rather better than 2 here. Moved well in front
& OK behind. Coat not at its best but showed well; 2 Peers’
Tweedisle Relight My Fire, needs a bit more ring training but was of good
size. Good head with the right amount of stop. Good in front standing but
being erratic when moving up & down. Good feet & enough bone. PGD (4) 1 Parkin’s
Carradine My Mate Matthew, not in the best of coats but very pleasing in head
& expression. Not over exaggerated in any way & better size than 3.
Enough length of body & good in tail length. Moved well in front &
behind & scored in head & expression over 2 2 Drews’ Tycadno
Thriller at L'artiste, better in coat than 1. He was OK in head but did not
have quite the head & expression of 1. Good neck & topline, Close up
to 1 but both of them scored over 3 for size & tail carriage; 3 Day’s
Cherrycrack Ludo at Trekhilli. LD (7) The first two here were of better size & better tail carriage
than 3. 1 Waites’
Svendalens Snow Knight, very good head & skull, good ears. Correct in
front & good feet. Enough bone. Good for size & not too big. Moved
out well behind. OK for tail carriage & shown in good coat. Behaved
rather better than 2 on the move. His overall size, balance & proportion
took him to the RCC position; 2 Currie’s
Stirlingview Superhero, good in head, neck & topline & held tail
well. Coat could be slightly harsher. He moved out very well when he
eventually got into his stride but he needs a bit more ring discipline to
complete the picture; 3 Inett &
Engebretsen’s Carradine Dexter. OD(5,2) 1 Shaw’s Honeyhall
Headboy, a very sound & eye catching dog, good for size & scored for
typical head & expression without being overdone there. Coat not at its
best but scored very strongly in front construction & in movement both in
front & behind. Good tail length & shape. Good neck & topline
& enough length of body with correct spring of rib. He was a quality dog,
good for both type & construction & went on to win the CC & BOB; 2 Bateman &
Gompels’ Carradine Terries Tipple, scored over 3 here for hind movement but
didn’t always stand right in front. He too was good in head & expression
& had enough neck. He was good in coat & like several others
including some winners, his tail was carried a shade high. Enough length of
body & good in rib; 3 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Fable. VD (2) 1 Parkin’s
Roachdee Mystery Of The Full Moon, younger than 2 & it showed. Pleasing
in head, ears, eye & expression & moved out well both in front &
behind. Good size. Correct coat & good tail well carried. Shown in very
good condition. Good feet & correct in loin. Did not appear to stay to
compete for BV; 2 Lynch’s
Fieldron Call My Bluff at Linacrelads, a bit older than 1 & showing his
age a little. Not in the best of coats & could benefit from losing a bit
of weight. Good in head. PB (6,1) 1 Day’s Trekhilli
Pickled Peppa, very pleasing indeed in head & expression with a good
skull & correct ears well carried. Must not grow on but is well
proportioned & balanced & has a good neck & topline. Better in
front than behind. Enough length of body & scope. Good in tail for
length, set on & carriage. Correct bone & good feet. Went on to win
BP; 2 Waites’
Specially Designed by Svendalens, not quite the maturity of the winner &
needs to finish in head & strength of muzzle. Good small ears &
correct in topline. Good in hindquarters. Shown in good coat; 3 Parker-Tucker’s
Uniquecottage Silver Tarr. JB (7) 1 Waugh’s Andrum
Brite Side, big enough & though had no dark points was nevertheless good
in head, eye, skull, muzzle & expression. Excellent for length, outline
& proportions with a good neck, topline & tailset. Moved well in
front & behind; 2 Robinson’s
Cruzo Capriole, OK in skull but needs to finish & strengthen a shade in
muzzle. Good neck & topline, very good tailset. Moved up & back well;
3 Waites’ Seveek Snow Angel with Svendalens. PGB (6,2) 1 Owen’s Caldwall
Call The Shots, stood out here for type & movement. Shown in good coat.
Excellent in head & expression with good ears. Good neck & had enough
length of body. Alert showmanship. Good bone & feet & moved better
behind than 2 Hughes &
Hooton’s Penticharm Wishing On A Star, very pleasing & typical in head
& expression. Did not have as much drive behind as 1 but moved well in
front. Well proportioned & very good in coat & good in overall
outline; 3 Peers’
Tweedisle April Beauty. LB (6,3) 1 Coates’
Penticharm Starlight, a bitch with very typical head, eye, ears &
expression. Very good for size, length, neck & topline. OK in tail &
tailset. Moved better in front than behind; 2 Dolan’s
Glenrood Magic Spell, another bitch with a pleasing head though not quite as
good in expression as 1. Moved better behind than 1 but did not have quite as
much scope. Very good in coat & coat texture & had a good deal of
quality; 3 Hutching’s Cloverbrook
Touch Of Class at Crowneast. OB (4) A pleasing class with some good bitches.
The first three were all close up but the reserve was showing & moving
rather erratically. 1 Osborn’s Tweslam
Thistle Be Magic, a very smart bitch which had a slight edge over 2 for
movement though they both moved pretty well. The winner could do with a shade
more coat but the texture was good & she was just right for size. She has
a good head & expression enough neck & good firm topline. Good small
ears. She was OK in bone. Correct feet & good in hindquarters.
Moved out smartly. Went on to win the CC; 2 Ward’s Vanajam
It’s Cold Out Side, OK in front construction. Pleasing in head, neck &
topline. Good hindquarters & enough bone without being overdone there.
Enough length. RCC; 3 Bateman & Inett’s Carradine In Love
With Amy. VB (1) 1 Byrne’s Little
Miss Tonka, good in skull but could be a shade more powerful looking in
muzzle. Really excellent harsh coat texture & overall muscle condition.
Moved out very well & had good hindquarters. Could perhaps carry a shade
less body weight but nevertheless very fit for her age & extremely good
in coat. Went on to be BV. RONNIE IRVING |
