Critique. Southern CTC Ch Show 6th
February 2022
I would like to thank the committee of the Southern
Cairn Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their show, also the hospitality
shown. My stewards Sharon and Vanessa kept things running smoothly. Due to a
covid appointment cancellation I hadn’t judged for a while so all were new
dogs to me. I was thrilled with my entry and had lots of Cairns to go over.
On the whole I was pleased with the quality, some
coats could have been coarser. I only came across a couple of wayward mouths, stops were good as were forechests.
A few years ago I was worried about our breed getting too big, but most of my
entry were what I consider okay. I would always veer
to smaller rather than larger, especially in bitches. Some younger males
seemed up on leg, which can spoil the outline and balance of a Cairn, but
hopefully they will mature and achieve that correct balance in time. As other
judges have recently pointed out there is far more quality in bitches at the
moment. Such a shame more boys aren’t kept and run on for the show ring.
