Critique for the NICTC Championship Show

Judging for the North of Ireland Cairn Terrier Club, 36th Single breed championship show, held at six mile leisure centre, Ballynure road, Ballyclare, Northern Ireland on 24th September 2017.

I would like to thank the committee for their well organised show and their really warm and friendly welcome to myself and the exhibitors and the visitors that attended the show.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all who generously made entries and sponsored classes – for a small breed club, it keeps the club alive. A special thanks to the exhibitors who came from across the water and land to attend the show.

I was very pleased with the quality and soundness of the entry, we still need to watch out for balance of size – we have a breed that is a medium sized terrier – we need to watch out for the length of body to leg. All had correct scissor bite with clean teeth of good size of jaw to head. We must still keep a watch on movement – some stand well but go close on hind movement on the move. Sadly there were no puppies at the show.
