Border Union 2017 Not the biggest entry, however, I was very happy
with both line-ups, and thank you to everyone who made the journey to what is
a lovely well-run show. Heads on the whole were good and not many light
eyes. Movement, as is the norm, could be better but I think that has been
said since I started showing. Coats were on the whole good, even those who
were short due to the time of year. Temperaments were also very good. My main
concern wasthat there were some in the top classes with incorrect mouths,
which surprised me. Junior Dog 1.
Ball’s Lentrica
Let’s Dance at Calamondin I was very taken by this handsome wheaten/brindle. Lovely
head and expression, good stop and super mouth. Nice neck and shoulder, level
topline with good tailset. Nice front, legs and feet. Ample bone, moved with
drive. Looked nice in profile. Has a new coat coming in of good texture. What
he lacks in maturity, he gains in quality. Delighted to award him the RCC. Novice Dog 1.
Carter & Clarke’s Lentrica
Rocketman at Careernwil Light red. Typical head and expression, with a nice dark
eye. Okay for size and substance, moving a little wide in front but very good
behind. Good depth and spring of rib. Would like a shade more length for
balance but a nice dog who showed his heart out. Post Grad Dog - 3 (1 Absent) 1.
Shannon & Storr’s Brendarcy
Tinsoldat Red, youngster with a lovely head and expression. How
nice to see a cairn shown in full coat. Very well put together. I liked him a
lot. Well balanced and moves well on good legs and feet. Feeling the heat in
the challenge but I’m sure his day will come. 2.
Smith’s Rocasovale
Danish Delight Brindle with a nice type head. Good neck and shoulders,
straight front, level topline with tail on top. Good depth and spring of rib.
Moving a little close behind today and could benefit with more coat.
Obviously likes his food. Lovely temperament. Limit Dog – 3 1.
Mears Glenmear
McIntyre Red/brindle. All male and is of a good size. Particularly
liked his head and expression. Good stop and big teeth with correct bite.
Good neck and shoulders and excelled in front. Nice spring of rib, level
topline and tailset was bang on. Moved with drive although at times giving
his handler a torrid time. Would like a little more width behind. The dark
stripes down his hocks are not helpful but I felt on the day he was well
worthy of the CC. 2.
Catto’s Birselaw
Stay with Me Brindle up to size. However, I did not find him coarse.
Nice head, eyes and good mouth. Good clean neck and shoulders. Good depth and
spring of rib. Moved okay in front but a bit close behind. Shown in a proper
full coat of quality and he gave his all for his handler 3.
Miller’s Cornton
Dark Corrie Open Dog – 3 1.
Weinberger’s Correnie
Hurricane Fly I liked this red/brindle very much but also found him
very frustrating. He has a lovely head and expression. Nicely constructed.
Moves well. Was in good coat and condition but on the day he lacked sparkle,
possibly due to the heat or travelling. A quality dog who if he gets his act
together can trouble the best. 2.
Smith’s Rocasovale
Distant Drums Brindle with a typy head and expression. Good mouth, neck
and shoulders. Moved okay in front, level topline with a good tailset. Shown
in good coat of quality. Kept a balanced outline when settled. 3.
Percy’s Winetta Sir
Ivor Veteran Dog – 1 1.
Smith’s CH
Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle Brindle. Nearly 11 years old. Very active, game and
hardy. Nice head with good mouth, very well put together and knows how to
move albeit sometimes in another direction from his handler. Could not be
mistaken for anything other than a male. Never let up showing. Best Veteran Puppy Bitch – 2 1.
Firth’s Cairngold
Carolina Red. Very much a baby. Nice head and expression. Neck and
shoulders okay. Kept her topline when on the move. Moving well in front, a
little close behind. Good coat and condition. Needs time Best Puppy 2.
Miller’s Birselaw
Midnight Sun over Cornton Brindle. Another raw youngster. Nice head with dark eye,
good neck and shoulders. Moved pretty well when settled. I would like a bit
more bone and substance but she has time on her side. Junior Bitch – 2 1.
Firth’s Lentrica
Black Star for Cairngold This young lady could have a future if she stops giving
her handler a hard time. Lovely head with a wicked expression. Nice neck and
shoulders. Deep well-sprung ribs. Nicely balanced. Good front assembly. When
she settles keeps a nice profile. Drives from the rear with maturity, A new
coat and luck could have a bright future. 2.
Miller’s Cornton
Starr Turn Another promising youngster just out of puppy and giving
a lot of way. Nice head and expression. Nicely constructed and she moved well
fore and aft. Looked the part moving around the ring. Needs to body up and,
with maturity, could do well. Post Grad Bitch – 4 1.
Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy
Cloudbursting Red with a super head and expression. So feminine and a
nice size. Well balanced, lovely neck and shoulders, level topline and good
tailset. Good bend of stifle, moved well with drive. Was in lovely coat and
condition. I’m sure she will be knocking on the door very soon and will be
worthy of top awards 2.
Percy’s Winetta
I’ve Got a Feeling Just out of junior and looks very much a teenager. Lots
to like and nice head and expression. Good forechest and straight front,
level topline. Nice bend of stifle, moved soundly and in decent coat. Shows
very well. Needs time to mature. 3.
Dawson’s Sybster
Sffron Limit Bitch – 4 (2 absent) 1.
Berrecloth’s Sybster
Sanderoma A beautiful headed bitch. Although up to size, is very
well balanced and moved with ease around the ring. Nice neck and shoulders,
good depth and spring of rib. Moves a little close behind. In fantastic coat
and condition showed all out. 2.
Miller’s Cornton
Rosemaree Another nice typy bitch. Lovely head, eye and expression.
Nice front, level topline and tailset. Good spring of rib and she moves well
once she gets going. Would like a wee bit more leg for balance but shown in
good coat and condition. Open Bitch – 2 1.
Robinson’s Cruzo
Capriole Silver brindle. Stunning head and expression. Super
mouth. So well balanced and so feminine. Moved freely on a loose lead with
drive and enthusiasm. Presented in good coat of proper length. This bitch is
out of the top drawer. Showed all out ,Delighted to award her the CC and BOB.
2.
Clarke’s CH
Lentrica Dolly Day Dream JW A favourite of mine. Super head and expression, lovely
neck and shoulders. Level topline and good tailset. Good depth and spring of
rib. Moved well both fore and aft with some width between her short well let
down hocks. In super coat and condition. Another example of a top quality
feminine cairn bitch. Unfortunately, on the day, she wasn’t showing herself
to her best advantage and had to settle for the RCC. Veteran Bitch – 2 1.
Byrne’s Little Miss
Tonka The most delightful little cairn you could meet. Full of
personality and gives nothing less than 100%. She always brings a smile to my
face. A great ambassador for the breed. 2.
Bowness Birselaw
Folksong Another lovely girl who showed all out for her handler.
Super head and expression. She was shown in lovely coat and condition and was
enjoying her day out. Iain Shaw, judge |
