Midland Cairn Terrier Club
Championship
Show 5th December My thanks to the Officers
and Committee for the invitation to judge at this friendly and well organised
show. My stewards were excellent, keeping the ring (and me) organised at all
times. And most importantly thank you to the exhibitors for an excellent
entry and allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. I had a
wonderful day and had the opportunity to assess some quality dogs. It has
been just over 2 years since I last judged the breed, so many of the dogs
were new to me. On the whole I would have
to say the breed has not really improved much overall in that period. There
were more dogs with the required deep stop, but quite a few lacked width of
skull and there were also a few long in muzzle. It has been said by many
before, and I have to agree, without the true Cairn head you cannot get the
typical Cairn expression and without the head, no matter how well the dog is
made, you just have another generic terrier. Movement is still a concern,
many move well in profile, but when viewed coming and going many are close
behind, or with wide or platting movement in front. And there were still
quite a number of smelly coats. On a more positive note
there seemed to be more shown in a full coat and I found quite a few
promising youngsters, which can only be good for the future of the breed.
Temperaments on the whole were good. I did however have one exhibit who was
not happy at being examined, and did attempt to bite, no contact made due to
the quick reactions of the handler. Not appropriate, no matter what the
reason and had to pay the penalty. Veteran D/B; (12, 6 abs) 1. Felters & Rumens Ch Landbuck Jazz Hands JW, clear wheaten
with dark points, just over 8 years and I don’t believe anyone has told her
she is a veteran. So fully of beans, she took a little while to settle on the
move, but when she did settle she moved truly and with drive. Beautifully
balanced with a lovely feminine head and keen expression, well made both
ends, with firm topline held at all times, well ribbed and in excellent coat and condition. Such
a happy showy girl, well deserved this class and Best Veteran in Show. 2. Bateman and Sach’s
Dandi Boy Spud, well balanced masculine dark grey brindle. Well made head,
with good width of skull, correct eye colour and shape. Firm topline, well
ribbed and well let down hocks. Moved soundly and steadily, just not quite as
positive in front as the class winner. 3. Parkins Roachdee Mystery Of The
Full Moon. MPD; (8,4 abs) 1.Shoplands Trekhilli
Mister Bean at Cherrycrack,
attractive masculine and well balanced 8 month old dark red brindle.
Loved his head and expression, deep stop with good bite and big teeth. He
looked balanced in profile, with good depth of brisket and pronounced
forechest. Firm, level topline with good tailset. Well turned stifles, and
well let down hocks which he uses to advantage on the move. Strode out well
with good reach and drive, still a shade loose in front movement, but he has
plenty of time. Pleased to award him Best Puppy in Show. 2. Felters & Rumens
Landbuck Mister Tom. Promising 6 month old wheaten. With a bit more maturity
will trouble the best. Well balanced with good bone, firm topline, good
tailset and strong hindquarters. Shown in a excellent coat and condition.
Movement needs to tighten, but he has time on his side. Covered the ground
well in profile. 3. Thompsons Castleline Ser Jaime PD; (2,1 abs) 1. Dennis’ Svendalens Into Mischief, 10 month old wheaten. Presented a balanced outline, with
excellent front assembly and good feet. Level topline, which needs to firm up
on the move. Needs to mature in head
and stop could be deeper. Shown in good condition, coat a little past its
best. Moved and showed steadily. JD; (4)Nice class with
some promising young dogs. 1. Cattos Birselaw Stay
With Me. Well grown and up to size dark red brindle of just over 12 months.
Beautiful head with correct expression, good bite with big teeth. Excels in
front, with pronounced forechest and well sprung rib. Firm topline, good
length of loin and well set tail. Would not want any more angulation behind.
Shown in a full coat of correct texture, a little judicious trimming would
improve the overall picture. Confident showman and moved with purpose,
promising. 2. Weinbergers Correnie No No Romeo, 17 month old light red
brindle with best of heads, with deep stop, good width to skull and correct
muzzle and good eye shape. Presents a balanced outline with excellent front
assembly, good ribbing and well set tail. Shown in good coat and condition,
nicely made behind but could be a shade shorter in hock. Moved steadily and
confidently, but not with the drive of class winner, lovely dog. 3. Keeves’
Seveek I Spied That Dream. ND; (2) 1. Thompsons Castleline Barn Dance. Lots to like about this masculine
well balanced clear wheaten. Liked his well made head with good ratio of
skull and muzzle and dark eyes. Presents a balanced outline, well made both
ends, not overdone in any way. Shown in good coat and condition. Not making
the best of himself on the move. 2. Purvis’ Mighty
Rearranger with Mosspur, nicely made wheaten. Well made throughout, well placed shoulder with straight front.
Held his topline on the move, showed and moved steadily. Not the head or
expression of class winner. GD; (3,1 abs) 1. Marshalls Brenndarcy
Lord Marmaduke Avec Strathgarten. Smart, masculine wheaten. Nice for size,
well made head with good width to skull and broad jaw with good bite. Good
neck into well made front, firm topline and well let down hocks. Well ribbed
and firm topline, presented in excellent coat and condition. Moved and showed
steadily when he settled to it. 2. Confues Anjofra
Roulette Russe. Well made light red brindle, with nicely made head with a
good bite. Presented a balanced outline, with good front and feet. Well
ribbed and firm topline. Shown in excellent coat and condition. Moved well in
profile, but a shade close behind when viewed from the rear. Steady showman. PGD; (8) 1. Inett, Harrison, King & Leightons Carradine George Flies
with Harkinleigh, ultra smart grey brindle, just filled my eye. A clear
winner in this class, he dominated the ring from the moment he entered. An
imposing dog of correct size and substance. Presents a well balanced outline
with correct height to length body ratio. I loved his masculine head, not
overdone in any way, so well balanced
with deep stop, well shaped dark eyes, broad muzzle of correct length and
correct bite. He has a pronounced forechest, with good depth of brisket and
well sprung ribs. Excellent fore and hind angulations and well boned legs with good feet. Firm
level topline which he held on the move and well set tail carried well at all
times. Super turn of stifle with short well let down hocks. Presented in
super coat of correct texture. Moved with reach and drive in profile, he does
move a shade close behind, but all his virtues far outweigh this. Pleased to
award him CC & BIS. 2. Weinbergers Correnie
Hurricane Fly, masculine light red brindle. Best of heads with correct width
of skull, deep stop, broad muzzle and correct bite. Smart dog who presents a
balanced outline, with firm topline, good ribbing and well set tail. Coat a
little past its best, moved steadily, but not overly enthusiastic about
showing today. 3.Parkins Carradine My Mate Matthew. LD; (3,1 abs) 1. Days Cherrycrack Ludo at Trekhilli JW Sh.CM, dark grey brindle. Up to size masculine
dog, but with no coarseness. He has a good head with correct width to length
ratio, well shaped dark eyes and broad muzzle and intense expression. Well
angulated both ends, well boned legs and tight feet. Good depth and width to
chest and strong level back, well muscled loin and good tailset. Shown in
excellent coat and condition. Moved with reach and drive in profile, but a
shade close behind when viewed from the rear. An accomplished showman he
never lets his handler down. 2. Bateman and Gompels
Carradine Terries Tipple. Wheaten with a nicely made head. Presented a
balanced outline, with well made front and good feet, well ribbed and level
topline. Shown in good coat and condition. Preferred the intensity of
expression of winner and wasn’t moving with the reach and drive of class
winner. OD; (4,1 abs) 1. Shaws Ch Honeyhall Headboy, eye-catching grey brindle. Well known champion with the
best of heads, broad skull with deep stop and keenest of expressions. He
presents a balanced profile. Has lots of positive qualities, including good
bone, well set neck & correctly laid shoulders, good forechest, well
ribbed and firm level topline. An accomplished showman he never fails to
perform and demands your attention and moves around the ring effortlessly.
Couldn’t quite match the CC winner in reach & drive on the move today,
and not in as good a coat, so had to settle for the RCC and RBIS. 2. Waites’ Svendalen Snow Knight.
Another smart grey brindle, with a well made head of correct proportions. Not
quite the intensity of expression as the class winner though. Well made
throughout, with correct neck and shoulders and straight front with correct
bone and good feet. Firm, level topline and well made quarters. Moves well
coming and going and a confident showman. Today he was carrying a shade too
much weight, which tends to make him look a bit square in outline. 3.
Shannon, Storr & Kaplans Am Gr Ch Brenndarcy Borgen. SBD; (3) 1. Parkins Carradine My Mate
Matthew, well balanced with nicely made head of correct proportions, eye
could be a shade darker. Nicely made throughout with well laid shoulder, firm
topline and good ribbing. Shown in good coat and condition and steady showman
he could move with more drive from behind. 2. Mighty Rearranger with Mosspur
, 2nd in novice dog. 3.
Davies’ Cloverbrook Harris Tweed. MPB; (4) Nice class of promising
puppies. 1. Catto’s Birselaw Paige Turner,
very feminine, almost 7 month light red brindle. Still very raw, but has lots to like, has a well made head with
keen expression. Lovely well laid shoulder
and forearm, straight front and good forechest. Firm, level topline
which she held on the move. Presented a lovely balanced outline. Gained in
confidence as the class went on. Moved well when she settled, showed
steadily. 2. Weinbergers Cruzo Thistle Berry
with Corrennie. Eye-catching 8 month old grey brindle. Excels in head, with
deepest of stops and melting expression. Looked balanced in profile, with
good angulations both ends and level topline. Shown in good coat and
condition. Moved and showed steadily, just needs to tighten up a bit, but she
has time. 3. Thompsons Castleline Caledonian Lass. PB; (4,1 abs) 1. Shorts Splinterhills Amazing
Grace to Glenchess. Very attractive, well made 10 month old dark grey
brindle. Lots to like, extremely promising. Loved her feminine well made
head, with deepest of stops and intense expression, broad muzzle with correct
bite and big teeth. Presented a balanced outline with well set neck into well
laid shoulder and forearm. Straight front with correct bone. Good rib and
firm level topline, which she held on the move and good tailset. Well
angulated both ends, with short well let down hocks. So sound on the move,
covering the ground well and showing with confidence. Does not need to carry
any more weight. 2. Inett, Harrison & Claytons
Carradine Madam Molly. Smart 11 month old red brindle. Loved her overall
balance, needs to mature a bit in head. Good stop, but not quite the
intensity of expression of 1st. Well made front and firm topline
with good tailset. Shown in good coat and condition. Moved and showed with
confidence. 3. Carters Carernwil Picture Perfect. JB; (7) Nice class, splitting
hairs on first two. 1. Keeves’ Seveek Hopes ‘N’
Dreams. Beautiful feminine red just over 12 months. Loved her well balanced head with correct earset, good width to
skull, deepest of stops, intense expression, broad muzzle and good bite.
Super body and balance, not overdone in any way. So well made with good
forechest, well laid shoulder and forearm, firm topline and strong quarters.
Shown in excellent coat and condition, moved with reach and drive around the
ring. Seriously considered her for top honours, with a little more maturity
she should trouble the best. 2. Clarkes Lentricia Dolly
Daydream. Super feminine wheaten of just over 12 months. So close up to class
winner. Beautiful well made head, with deep stop, broad muzzle and correct
bite. Just not quite the intensity of expression as class winner. So well
made throughout, with good angulations both ends, clean front, firm topline
and strong quarters. Moved with purpose, covering the ground well and showed
to perfection. Pushed so hard for class, and could easily change places on
another day. 3. Williams’ Seveek Country Sunset. NB; (3,1 abs) 1. Splinterhills Amazing Grace to
Glenchess, winner of PB. 2. Osborns Tweslam Gimme Gimme
Magic JW. Smart 14 month old light red. Lighter built bitch with well made
head, good width to skull and good bite. Not quite the intensity of
expression of class winner. Lovely balanced outline, firm topline. Liked her
well laid shoulder with straight front and well sprung rib. Shown in
excellent coat and condition. Nice bitch. GB; (5,2 abs) 1. Osborns Tweslam Born To Bewitch. Well balanced light red.
Very feminine in outlook. Well made head of correct proportions. Good neck
into well made front, firm topline and well set tail. Shown in excellent
order. When she settles to it moves well. 2. Keeves Midnight Dreams Among
Seveek. Feminine light brindle. Nicely made head, with deep stop and keen
expression. Presented a balanced outline, well ribbed and firm topline, coat
not at its best. Tail can spoil outline if she gets over excited. 3. Ziesels
Braintwister Oxo Cis. PGB; (6,3 abs) 3 nice bitches,
little to separate. 1.Owens Caldwall Carefree. Ultra
feminine wheaten brindle. Most beautiful head and expression, deep stop,
intense expression and correct bite. Fore and hind angulations are as they
should be which allowed her to move freely and with drive, when she settled
to it. Level topline and well muscled loin into well set tail. A serious
contender for top honours, but lost interest in the challenge. 2. Drews Miketos Marvelous Fiona
at L’artiste. Another feminine bitch with the most beautiful head, deep stop
and excellent bite. Not quite the intensity of expression of 1st.
So well put together with good angulations both ends, pronounced forechest,
well sprung rib and well set tail. Shown in excellent coat and condition.
Moved around the ring with purpose, driving from behind and such an
accomplished showgirl. Close decision. 3. McGraths Brenndarcy Cinnamon Girl. LB; (8,1 abs) A class of quality
bitches. 1. Dolans Glenrood Scheherazade.
Well balanced light red. Lovely well balanced head with broad muzzle and
correct bite. Presents a balanced outline with well laid shoulder and
straight front, good spring of rib and firm level topline into well set tail.
Strong quarters with good turn of stifle and well let down hocks. Shown in
excellent coat and condition and moved around the ring with drive from behind
when she settled to it. Another bitch who will always be in contention for
top honours. 2. Confues Anjofra Mad About
Me. Feminine grey brindle. Best of
heads with intense expression and correct bite. Presents a balanced outline
with pronounced forechest and straight front. Well angulated both ends, which
showed in her freedom of movement, just moving a shade close behind when
viewed from the rear. Spot on for coat and condition. Close decision. 3.
Inett, Harrison & Claytons Carradine Connies Kirsty. OB; (11,3 abs) Another class of
quality bitches. 1. Shannon & Storrs Brenndarcy
Dizzee Rascal. Feminine red with balanced outline. Super head of correct
proportions, lovely dark eye, broad muzzle, correct bite and well set ears.
Excellent fore assembly with good forechest, straight front, level topline
and well sprung rib. Well made hindquarters with well let down hocks allowed
her to drive from the rear and parallel when viewed from front and rear.
Shown in tiptop coat and condition and showed steadily to win a strong class.
Pleased to award her that all important 3rd CC and BOS in show. 2. Felters & Rumens Ch
Landbuck Xanthe. Very feminine clear wheaten with dark points. Beautiful head
with deep stop, dark eye, keen
expression and correct bite. Presents a balanced outline with well made front
and pronounced forechest, firmest of toplines and strong quarters. Shown in
excellent coat and condition. On her toes all the time when she settles she
moves with reach and drive, her exuberance can unsettle her at times. Lovely
bitch and a close decision, really splitting hairs on these two, RCC. 3.
Owens Ch Caldwall Call The Shots. SBB; (1) 1. Williams’ Seveek Country
Sunset. Smart light red brindle, with lots to like. Feminine in outlook with
a well made head, nice eye and keen expression. Presents a balanced outline
with good angulations both ends, good forechest, straight front and well
ribbed. Moves soundly and shows herself to advantage. New coat coming in, but
still a shade close at the moment and carrying just a shade to much weight.
Nice bitch. Brace; (3,1 abs) 1. Carters brace, two well matched bitches, both feminine in
outlook and just pipped the 2nd brace by moving together in unison
and looked more settled and confident. 2. Keeves brace, another well
matched pair. Both well balanced, just not as together as the class winner. Geoff Thomas (Judge). |
