THE SOUTHERN CAIRN TERRIER CLUB
CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW – 3RD JUNE 2022
I would like to thank the Committee of the
Southern Cairn Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their show and to the
exhibitors for allowing me the pleasure of going over their dogs. The SCTC Ch
Show was the first Ch Show I attended, before I started showing, so I was
proud to be a judge at this Club Show. My thanks also to my multi-tasking
steward, Sharon, who kept the day running smoothly.
In the exhibits I judged today, I was looking
for those that met the breed standard closest and showed correct movement,
both front and rear. I was pleased to see that in the challenge for both sets
of CCs, all those who were placed first in their class, had shown correct
movement. Many of the classes were very close in my decision making, however
how good a cairn looks standing or on the table can be very different on the
move. I do believe that if a cairn moves correctly this is a good indication
of a well put together cairn.
