MIDLAND
CAIRN TERRIER CLUB
CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 8th DECEMBER 2019
My thanks to
the officers and committee for this invitation to judge at this well run and
friendly show. Thanks to my very efficient chief steward Phillip Horspool
assisted by Mrs D Purvis & Mrs G Wright.
I was
somewhat disappointed in the lower dog classes, breeders need to remember
this is where the up and coming stud dogs should come from. The bitch classes
were a delight to judge and I found myself “nit picking” a number of times to
separate my placing.
Heads are
still mixed and also size in the males, some much too large for the breed
standard. I was disappointed to find that many lacked sufficient spring of
rib & were too narrow in body. Movement has improved, but not to the
extent
that breeders
can’t pay attention to it, coats varied but good to see many had the correct
double coat. My thanks to the exhibitors for taking my decisions in the
manner they were given.
