North of Ireland Cairn Terrier Club 39th Breed Championship
Show Held 26-09- 2021 My thanks to the Club and Committee
for the invitation to judge their Club Ch Show. Club Shows are special so I
was truly honoured As the first Show to be held in
Northern Ireland during Covid 19 the Committee had gone to great lengths to
keep everyone safe in this super venue. On the day I was assisted by stewards
Michael and Karen both so ably and quietly efficient. Now to the main ingredient of the day
-the Cairns. In spite of the fact there has been little or no dog activity
for 18 months all took the day in their stride and temperaments were superb.
Coats generally acceptable, all double coated, though some in varying stages of
preparedness. Heads mostly excellent and movement on the whole very good.
Numerically the entry could have been better but quality abounded and there
were many close decisions especially with the bitches. JD (1) 1 CC, & BPD. Hogarty’s
Cadagio Super Trooper. Red What a start to
the day. 11 months. Most attractive head and expression with defined stop,
good breadth to scull, strong muzzle, neat ears, good eye and bite. Balanced
reach of neck running into clean well laid shoulders with good return of
upper arm. Good legs, well padded feet. Nice spring
of ribs carried well back, strong loin with firm topline and good tailset.
Well angulated quarters matching forehand. Excelled on the move showing good
drive and extension keeping a well balanced
outline. At this age still has some maturing to do. Lovely coat excellently
presented. PGD (1) 1 & RCC Alexander’s Coharra Be More. Red. Most attractive head with dark
points, lovely expression. Defined stop, good breadth of scull, strong
muzzle, good for eye, ears and bite. Correct reach of neck running into clean
shoulders. Stands well over forequarters. Good spring of rib carried well
back, firm loin and well angulated quarters. Moved happily and soundly
showing drive. Just a little rusty regarding ring presence, I expect this to
improve. LD (2) 1. Miller’s Cornton Fyne Fettle. Dk brindle. Pleasing expression, good eye, ear and bite.
Stop could be slightly more defined. Well balanced neck running into clean
shoulders, though I would prefer a better lay. Stands well, well ribbed,
strong topline , good tailset. Decent hind
angulation and moved with purpose. In good coat and well presented. 2. Lamb & Satlmarsh’s
Birselaw Come Dancing with Macmoon OSW, JW, SH Ch, Shcex. Dk brindle. Lovely head
and expression with good eye and neat ears. Balanced neck running into clean
shoulders though I would prefer a better lay. Firm topline, held on the move.
Good coat, well presented. Just could be a little more purposeful on the
move. OD (3, 2abs) 1. Lamb & Saltmarsh’s
Birselaw Dark Charmer for Macmoon Sh Ch. Dk Brindle. Pleasing expression , defined stop though would prefer more width
to scull. Good eye, ear and bite. A shade upright in shoulder for me but does
have return of upper arm and does stand correctly over forelegs. Well ribbed,
firm topline, good tailset, short hocks. Moved well maintaining a good shape, has drive but would like more extension. VD/B (5, 3abs) 1 & BV Lamb & Satlmarsh’s Birselaw Dark Charmer for Macmoon
