NATIONAL TERRIER CLUB, 7TH April CAIRN TERRIERS My thanks to the committee for the invitation and
to my efficient stewards for keeping things running smoothly. And of course
the exhibitors for your entries. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and while
numbers have dropped there is still quality in the breed. Quality in the
lower classes was a bit of a mixed bag. But in the open classes in both sexes
and in many of the bitch classes I was spoilt for choice and could have done
with more than 1 red card. I do feel that heads have improved with many more
having the desired deep stop. There were still a number with narrow snipey
muzzles and a few with prominent eyes, which just spoils the expression. I
only had 1 suspect bite. Many were shown in quite short coat, but all coats
were of good texture, for me a part of the glory of a Cairn is that it should
be shown in a natural but tidy coat. There’s trimming and then there’s
trimming to within an inch of their lives! Sorry not for me. My winners were
what I hoped I would find in the breed today and I’m sure they could hold
their own in the best of company. Spec. Beg D/B(3,1abs) 1. Metcalf-Saults, Cannwood Call Me Aggie. Wheaten bitch, just out
of puppy. Has a well made head with width to skull and muzzle with neat ears,
defined stop and big teeth. Feminine in outlook. Nicely balanced throughout
with well made front and level topline. Shown in excellent coat, does not
need to carry any more weight. Moves steadily and soundly when she settles.
2. Lunds Cairngold Brandy Snap. Clear red bitch. Feminine in outlook, has a
well balanced head with deep stop and neat ears, not quite the expression of
1st. Nicely made with good neck, clean front and well sprung rib.
In good coat of correct texture. Showed steadily, not quite as settled on the
move as 1st. MPD.(2,1abs) 1. Millers Cornton Fyne Fettle. Well
grown wheaten brindle, masculine in outlook. Excels in head and expression
with good width to skull and muzzle, correct bite and big teeth. Presents a
balanced outline. Good angulations both ends, with well sprung rib. Shown in
good coat. Movement needs to settle a bit, but he has time, shows
confidently, BPIB. PD.(2) Two nice puppies, splitting hairs, sure they
will change places at times. 1. Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Come Dance
With Macmoon. Wheaten brindle, lovely type. Loved his head, so well
proportioned with deep stop and broad jaw. Well balanced throughout, with
good clean front and well laid shoulder. Just coming into good coat. Moved
soundly and just covering the ground better than second. 2. Firths Cairngold
Chico. Clear red, masculine in outlook. Another balanced puppy with good
proportions throughout. Has a broad skull and neat well placed ears and
correct bite. Shown in excellent coat and condition, an accomplished showman,
just not as positive in movement as class winner. JD.(3) 1. Percys Winetta Quest For Fame. Lovely
grey brindle, beautiful head and intense expression. What a lovely dog to go
over, good shoulder and forechest, firm topline and well ribbed. Shown in
hard condition and excellent coat. On his toes all the time, when he settled
moved with drive from behind . Has to be a contender for top honours when
fully mature. 2. Keeves Seveek Treasure The Dream, light red. Lacking in
maturity to 1st. Nicely made head with deep stop and keen
expression. Short of coat at the moment but new coat of correct texture
coming in. Held topline on the move, needs to fill out as just a shade narrow
throughout at the moment. 3. Kippens Seveek Look To The Future with Chezaku. GD.(3) 1. Reeves Cairngold Bubbly. Masculine light red. Well made head and
keen expression, so well balanced with well made front, firm topline, good ribbing and well set tail. Shown in
excellent coat and condition. Another accomplished showman who moved soundly and
steadily. 2. Parker-Tuckers Uniquecottage Silver Askin. Masculine grey
brindle, well made head, but not the intensity of expression as 1st.
Presents a balanced outline, with good angulations both ends, firm topline
and great quarters. Shown in a full coat of correct texture. Not settled on
the move. 3. Kippens Seveek Look To The Future with Chezaku. PGD (No entries) LD. (7) 1. Shoplands Trekhilli Mister Bean at
Cherrycrack. Masculine dark grey brindle. Classic head and expression with
broad muzzle and correct bite. Not overdone in any way, so well balanced and
excels in front with good forechest, firm topline and well muscled
hindquarters. Shown in excellent coat and condition. Moved very soundly and
shows steadily. Seriously considered for top honours. 2. Days Trekhilli
Pepperazzi, another dark grey brindle, made in a bigger mould than class
winner but no coarseness. Well made throughout, good head with broad skull
and deep stop. Presents a balanced outline with well laid shoulder, firm
topline and shows confidently. Moves soundly but not covering the ground as
well as class winner. 3. Keeves Seveek I Spied That Dream. OD. (6). Class of quality, sure these will change
places on many occasions. 1. Mears’ Glenmear Mcintyre, red brindle, so
masculine in outlook with the best of heads with classic proportions that
give that true Cairn expression. So well made throughout , excels in front
with defined forechest, firm topline and well turned quarters. Shown in
correct full coat. Animated showman who can give his handler a hard time.
Moves with reach and drive when he settles to it. Thoroughly deserved the CC,
a worthy champion. 2. Cattos Birselaw Stay With Me. Dark grey brindle who was
so close up to class winner, built in a bigger mould. Has to be gone over to
be appreciated. Classic head and intense expression, so masculine in outlook
and so well put together, beautiful clean front with well placed shoulders
and defined forechest, firm topline and well muscled quarters. Shown in
correct full coat. An accomplished showman who never puts a foot wrong, such
a close decision, RCC. 3. Kintons Ch Woodthorpe I know The Code, pleasure to
go over and worthy champion. MPB.(1,1abs) 1. PB. (2). 1. Lunds Cairngold Brandy Snap, 2nd
Spec Beg. D/B. 2. Days, Trekhilli I Got Chills, Feminine grey brindle, well
up to size. Good in head and expression with good width to skull, correct
bite and big teeth. Well made front and good ribbing, topline needs to firm
up. Shown in excellent coat and condition. Moves and covers the ground well,
just not showing herself off today. JB. (5). 1. Roberts’ Cannwood Chance The Moment.
Clear wheaten, lovely type. Feminine in outlook with well broad skull and
muzzle. Excels in front with pronounced forechest, firm topline and well
ribbed. Nicely made quarters. Shown in first class coat and condition. Moves
with drive and a confident showgirl. One who must be destined for top honours
as she matures. 2. Thompsons Glenrood Love In A Mist. Smart feminine wheaten.
Another nicely made bitch with a well made head, presents a balanced outline,
with good angulations both ends and carrys a good coat of correct texture.
Moves soundly when she settles to it, just not as polished in showmanship as
class winner. 3. Metcalf-Saults Cannwood Call Me Aggie. GB.((2). Two nice bitches. 1. Parker-Tuckers
Uniquecottage Fennel. Red brindle bitch, a good honest Cairn, not overdone in
any way. So well put together, with a well made head of correct proportions,

little. Shows steadily and moves soundly. So pleased to award her the RCC. 2.

stop. Another well balanced bitch with good front, firm topline and nicely
made behind. Shown in excellent coat and condition and an accomplished
showgirl, moves steadily but not with quite the drive of class winner. PGB. (7,2abs). Nice class. 1. Felters & Rumens
Lentricia Fame at Landbuck, ultra feminine grey brindle. Excels in head and
expression, so well put together and presents a balanced outline. Well laid
shoulder, firm topline and well set tail. Shown in good coat and condition.
Moves with purpose and on her toes all the time, liked her a lot. 2. Hughes
& Hootons Penticharm Party Popper, another totally feminine wheaten.

topline and good quarters. Good coat coming in and of correct texture. Moved
with drive and a confident showgirl. 3. Sopers Elitecharm Five Of Diamonds. LB. (6). 1. Petts Brenndarcy Hunky Dory Among
Doonrae. Feminine clear red excels in head and expression. Well made front,
firm topline and well sprung rib. Good coat of correct texture. Moves soundly
and a confident shower. Clear winner in this class and seriously considered
for top honours. 2. Vaughans Penticharm Knight Star, feminine light grey
brindle. Well balanced throughout, well made head with keen expression. Good
front, well laid shoulder and good ribbing. Shown in good condition and good
new coat coming in. A little unsettled on the table but gained in confidence
on the floor and moved well. 3. Smiths Cannwood Misty Dawn at Gethlee. OB.(6,2abs). Lovely class, a joy to judge. 1.
