CRITIQUE I would like to thank the Scottish Breeds Committee for
inviting me to judge and also the two Stewards, Mic & Nicola, who kept
things in order! A special thanks to the exhibitors
for making the journey to Scotland. I very much appreciated the entry I
received particularly as there is a breed club show two weeks later. From my overall entry I feel that the
breed is in good order. We have to watch fronts; there were one or two
lacking depth of rib and I could easily fit my hands between elbow and rib
cage. Of course, with a correct front assembly, elbows should be neatly
tucked in. There were two incorrect bites; this
always surprises me and I feel that as breeders and exhibitors we should
regularly check our dogs to ensure that the bite is still correct. Teeth do
move over time and I wouldn’t penalise such a mouth in a veteran but I might
in a 2/3 yr old! There were a few whose movement was
not as their construction dictated, and this is always disappointing. What I
felt on the table should have produced sound movement but in a few cases it
all fell apart when the dog walked! I can only assume this requires a better
understanding from the owner/exhibitors about the essential relationship
between correct construction, the right amount and correct type of exercise
and the resultant sound movement. Coats were OK, one or two had new
coats coming in and one or two had had it all pulled out, but coat is temporary
and it is what is underneath the coat that really interests me. DCC & BOB Shaw’s Ch Honeyhall
Headboy. This
dog did not disappoint at all. When I got my fingers through that coat,
everything was where I wanted it to be. He had a great head, correct eye and
ear placement. My hands flowed over his clean shoulders and along his level
topline. He moved around the ring soundly and when he was focused on his
handler he was a pleasure to watch and to top it all he didn’t stop showing.
A top class Cairn. I awarded him BOB over the bitch on maturity. RDCC Catto’s Birselaw Stay With Me. A young dog that is well up to
size, I wouldn’t want him any bigger! He is all male and is well made
throughout. Personally, I would prefer more body on him but I couldn’t deny his
overall balance and showmanship. He moved out well around the ring and stood
like a picture although, at times he can stand a bit forward with his front
but that is over exuberance rather than a construction issue. I was very
pleased to go over yet another quality male. BCC Shannan & Storr’s Brenndarcy
Moonstruck. This
young bitch won the best class of the day. In my judging notes I wrote very
little: outstanding, smart, lovely head, moved true, lovely lines. Our
breed standard says “head small in proportion to body” and this bitch has
that exact quality which isn’t found too often. I put my hands on her head
and it was well made and small in proportion to her body, it wasn’t overdone
in way whatsoever, she had stop, width of muzzle, lovely eyes and a “let me
at ‘um” expression. She flowed from the back of her head, down her
neck, over her shoulders, along her topline to her bang on tail set. When her
handler walked her out at the correct speed, she flowed around the
ring. She is well made throughout and in good coat and condition. A
pleasure to award her the CC RBCC Owen’s Caldwall Carefree. This bitch pushed the CC winner all
the way to the line but on the final move off she just wasn’t as strong
behind and had to give way today but I feel her day will come. Again,
she has everything where I wanted it and was lovely to go over on the table,
topped off with a most beautiful head. She was at one with her handler and
was shown in great coat and condition. BP Catto’s Birselaw Paige Tuner. A typical Cairn with lovely breed
type. Shown in good coat. Won BP over the dog on maturity. She is feminine
throughout and is good to go over too! I shall watch her develop with interest BV Smith’s Ch Rocasovale Razzle
Dazzle. A grand old
man at 10.5 yrs. Showed in good condition and clean over the shoulders.
Lovely correct tail carriage and good on the move. He held himself well. A
good honest sound Cairn. Veteran D (2,0) 1st Smith’s Ch Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle
- BV 2nd Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw
Fable of Macmoon a lovely typy Cairn, all male
throughout. Clean over the shoulders and in good coat and condition. Just
couldn’t match his older competitor for rear drive but nonetheless a good
pleasing Cairn. MPD (2,1) 1st Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy
Tinsoldat although this young man (6 mths old) stood alone, I had no
hesitation in awarding him 1st place.
He is beautiful. Lovely large teeth, correct head properties and good eye
shape and colour. Carried his ears correctly and used them well. Held his
topline on the move and his lines flowed from the tip of his ears to the tip
of his tail. He has great bone and substance and is very well put together. I
thought him really lovely for one so young. I only hope he grows on to fulfil
his early promise. BPD PD(1,0) 1st Davey & Baillie’s Castleline
Pure Jackman a smart young dog with an excellent
quality jacket. Good head properties with lovely eye and colour. Would
benefit from some ringcraft as he was a bit wayward on the move. He has good
construction so should move soundly but he just needs to be educated in how
to behave in the showring! JD (3,0) 1st Catto’s Birselaw Stay With Me - RDCC 2nd Keeves’ Seveek I Spied That Dream lovely head and expression, everything where I would
want it with a young male and has a new coat on the way in. A bit unruly for
his handler but a good quality male who just needs time to settle 3rd Smith’s Rocasovale Distant Drums ND (1,1) PGD (6,0) This was a very good quality class
with 6 dogs all having many virtues. 1st Miller’s Cornton Dark Corrie full of breed type and the soundest mover in the class.
He has an outstanding head and his ears were correctly set although he was
sometimes reluctant to use them. He has correct construction throughout and
was shown in wonderful condition with great muscle tone, one that obviously
receives plenty of free running exercise. 2nd Marshall’s Brenndarcy Lord Marmaduke
Avec Strathgarten A very good quality male but not
using his back end to advantage today and couldn’t match the driving action
of 1st. He was shown in correct coat and good condition.
Presents a lovely picture when standing. 3rd Andreson’s Birselaw Never Say Never
at Kerrykeel another good quality male but for me
was a little rangy and unsettled today. LD (1,0) 1st Percy’s Winetta Sir Ivor a dog of good size and shows well. Good neck and
shoulders but was rather short of coat today which lead to a unbalanced
overall picture. The jacket he did have was of correct texture and he kept
his topline on the move. OD (1,0) 1st Shaw’s Ch Honeyhall Headboy – DCC
& BOB VB (1,0) 1st Dawson’s Sybster Sauvignon Lovely lady of 8 yrs old, pretty head with good ear
placement. Shown in great condition and presented a nice type of Cairn. MPB (3,0) 1st Confue’s Anjofra Terri Aire a sweet feminine puppy at just 6 mths old. A little
overcome with events in the ring and not always showing her best. Well made
throughout, moved OK for one so young but just needs time. 2nd Davey & Baillie’s Beranburh No
Dreams a good quality puppy with a massive
coat, not quite as balanced as 1st as she is slightly long in loin but
lots to like about her. 3rd Davey & Baillie’s Beranburh
Barley Twist PB (4,1) 1st Catto’s Birselaw Paige Turner - BP 2nd McGrath’s Brenndarcy Dreamsville shown in good condition and having correct
coat texture. Very typy and moved out well around the ring. Would prefer a
slightly better ear placement but certainly a lot to like about her. 3rd Davey & Baillie Beranburh Wee
Dram JB (8,3) This was the class of the day. As a judge, being presented
with 5 top quality bitches is extremely hard as all I wanted was 5 red cards!
Every bitch had many virtues and I had to go with breed type first and then
soundness. My 4th placed
bitch just couldn’t match the top three for drive on the move and 5th was again of good type but just
dropped off into her tail set. When faced with such tough decisions there can
only be one winner and that is the Cairn that, in my opinion, had the most
breed type, was made well and moved the soundest. 1st Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy
Moonstruck - BCC 2nd Keeve’s Seveek Hopes N Dreams a lovely quality bitch that pushed hard for 1st,
she was well made and moved well too but just didn’t have the coat today; she
has a lovely quality coat coming in and a full jacket would complete the
picture. A very good quality Cairn. 3rd Miller’s Cornton Rosemaree Another lovely Cairn but of a slightly
larger/heavier type and for me, not so typical as 1st and 2nd but her many virtues couldn’t be
ignored. She was sound and in great condition. NB (3,1) A pair of quality bitches 1st Catto’s Nordcairn’s Peace of Mind at
Birselaw presented a lovely picture when
standing, well made throughout and moved around the ring well. Shown in great
coat and condition. 2nd Firth’s Cairngold Clementina a very nice bitch to go over and everything was where I
wanted it to be but just couldn’t match 1st for coat texture. PGB (3,1) I thought these two were a good matching pair and after
judging found them to be from the same kennel! 1st Berrecloth’s Sybster Sanderoma a bitch that is good to go over and slightly better
length of back than her cousin placed 2nd, typical head and
presented a lovely picture when standing 2nd Dawson’s Sybster Saffron a lovely typy bitch, shown in great coat and condition, just
couldn’t match the overall balance of 1st. But, I did enjoy the
“singing” as she walked around the ring! LB(2,0) 1st Shannan & Storr’s Brenndarcy
Fortune Teller a lovely type of Cairn who carries
herself well, she has good head properties and moved out around the ring. I
kept her in the ring to challenge for CC/RCC but when she stood next to the
Open and Junior winners she just couldn’t match their femininity. 2nd Davey & Baillie’s Beranburh
Seabiscuit a lovely type of Cairn who was well
made throughout, smaller than 1st but that’s not a bad thing! She
moved out well and was at one with her handler. OB (3,1) Two lovely bitches, both quite different types but with
lots to like! 1st Owen’s Caldwall Carefree - RBCC 2nd Confue’s Anjofra Mad About Me presented a lovely picture when standing but couldn’t
match the rear movement of 1st today.
Pretty head and feminine throughout. Judge - Dawn Inett (Carradine) |
