Windsor Championship Dog Show - 1st July 2022
CAIRN TERRIERS – Judge Louise Peers
Thank you to the
committee for inviting me to judge at one of my favourite shows, having
judged here previously when the breed had no CC's, I found the welcome and
hospitality just as warm, and the show well run. The new layout worked so
well too.
Thank you to all
exhibitors for giving me the honour of going over your dogs – not all my
decisions will have been welcomed, but hopefully you all realise that this is
the opinion of one judge, and another will see things and prioritise them
differently to me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, however have noticed a of few
issues creeping in to our breed, and lack of quality in stud dogs is most
worrying for our future. Having said that, I am pleased with all my main
placings.
Veteran D/B (3,0 abs)
1st Lamb &
Saltmarsh’s – Bireslaw Dark Charmer for Macmoon Sh SM VW - 8
year old male Grey brindle, good head
shape and nice expression, good length of neck, leading to good lay of shoulder, giving a
good straight front. Holds a level topline on the move, nicely muscled hind
quarters. Won the class on his
showmanship. BV
2nd Keeves’s Ch Seveek Hopes ‘N’ Dreams – 7 ½ year old
bitch lovely head and good eye shape giving a sweet expression. Correct
angulations both front and rear, moved well, Lovely harsh coat. but just didn’t look like she wanted to be
there today
3rd Paige Glenrood Trojan
Prince
Puppy Dog (1,0 abs)
1st - Hiam’s Carradine
Arfa Pint –9 months old, red with dark points
head of good proportions, good stop, with broad muzzle and correct
scissor bite, correct length of neck well set onto clean shoulders, correct
shape of ribcage, loin and rear angulations good, with well set on tail. If I was to be picky
would like a touch more length of forearm (but not a lot), and obviously for
one so young, he still needs to mature, Moved with drive and so much to like
about him and his overall showmanship won him top honours today BPD, BP and
later challenging to win DCC.
Junior Dog (3,1 abs)
1st - Lucas’s Seveek
Country Lad – brindle with correct
skull, good stop, dark eye good width
of muzzle and correct size and neat
ears. Nice size, with correct bone,
length of neck is correct, placed onto good shoulder angulations, ribcage of
correct shape, and loin ok. Movement is good, but still needs to tighten slightly in front
held a level topline. Nice harsh coat
2nd Waugh’s Glenrood Galaxy at Tribannon – Dark
brindle, loved his head, not as
balanced as 1st – moved close in the rear.
Post Graduate Dog (3,0
abs)
1st – Parker
Tucker’s Uniquecottage Grey Borage –
Wheaten with dark points, masculine head with strong jaw. A lot to like about
this boy – correct bone, nothing
overdone on front or rear angulations, held a level topline and moved
soundly, showed well and at one with
his handler, and stood well forward giving a lovely outline. Coat double
coat.
2nd – Byrne’s Carradine
Howzat Howard – Dark brindle, Nice size,
but possibly not settled in himself today. Nice head and eye, good ribcage,
and length of loin, held level topline on the move, another steady mover, but
preferred front movement of 1.
3rd – Morley's Kanawha
Spy Man
Limit Dog ( 4,0 abs)
1st- Parker Tucker’s Tom Trick’s Incredibly Ilay of
Uniquecottage (IMP Swe) – Such a
pleasure to go over this boy.
Masculine head, with good expression, good width of muzzle and infill
under eye. Good lay of shoulder, good depth of rib, correct bone, and good
feet. Correct size all over, moved
with a level topline well set on tail
and moved with rear drive. Coat of correct texture, and profuse! Just missed
out on top honour but pleased to award him RCC.
2nd - Hiam’s Carradine
Podgy Paddle – not as balanced as one, had a tendency to move slightly wide
in front, didn’t have the bone or fore chest of 1st, also not the coat
quality - although well turned out and
handled well.
3rd - Weinberger’s Cruzo Chorister with Correnie
Open Dog (1,1 abs)
1st - Weinberger Cruzo
Copper Coin for Correnie - red
Brindle, lovely expression, good
length of neck, would like a little
more lay of shoulder, level topline, and good tail set - a little tall for me, but showed well.
Puppy Bitch (3, 0 abs)
1st - Felter's &
Rumen's Bireslaw Caol Ila - 10month
old red brindle – feminine head still
developing good stop, cheeky eye, and good dentition. Good length of neck set
onto well laid shoulder . Moved with purpose, holding her topline and to
finish the picture, tail well set. Nice harsh coat. Still some maturing to
do, will watch with interest.
2nd – Bubb's Wandris
Please Yourself – 7 month old dark brindle , this girl has a gorgeous dark
eye, and pretty feminine head. Not as balanced and I preferred the movement
of 1st.
3rd – Rasse's Show Me the
Ring du cercle des enchanteurs
Junior Bitch (1, 0 abs)
1st - Rasse's Show Me the Ring du cercle des
enchanteurs – 8 ½ month old petite,
immature pup, with harsh wheaten coat with dark points – eye of correct colour,
and good stop. Sadly unable to assess movement on the day.
Post Graduate Bitch. (4,0
abs)
These two girls had me
wanting two 1st place cards as I like them both almost equally. On the day the movement of one just pipped
2nd to 1st place.
1st - - Inett &
Harrison's Carradine Wilma Red brindle, feminine head and loved her
expression and the width of lower jaw.
Possibly best fore chest of day, and lovely balanced angulations and bend of stifle showed in her movement,
which was effortless. Good double coat.
2nd – Percy's Winetta
Frankly My Dear – love this pretty feminine girl, with cheeky expression - a tiny
touch larger than 1st, but well within standard for size and has just as good balance as first place. On
the move was slightly narrower in the rear than 1, and didn't flow quite so
well from the side view today. Good
depth of rib, and length of loin, held a level topline and tail set good,
giving a good picture on the stand.
3rd - Osborn's Tweslam Be
Gin the Magic (AI1)
Limit Bitch (8,0 abs)
1st - Thompson's
Castleline Maitree – this girl was a surprise to go over on the table – very
pretty head, with good stop and correct eye.
Good length of neck, set on to shoulders with good layback – slightly
smaller than most but pleasantly balanced, which showed in her movement. Showed well to gain 1st place.
2nd – Jobling's Ariom Full of Sass – which she has in
abundance - another feminine bitch, with correct head and stop. Pleasing eye
and expression. Neck ok, sat on good
shoulders, correct rib and level topline – carrying a little weight which
showed over the rear end. Rear movement was better than front.
3rd – Robinson's Cruzo
Classical Dream
Open Bitch (6,0 abs)
The first 3 in the class
caused me a challenge...sadly 3rd place just didn't shine today, but such a
sound mover!
1st- Felters & Rumens Ch Landbuck La Voix – Red
Brindle beautiful feminine head, good dentition, strong lower jaw, and cheeky
expression finished off with neat ears and good head furnishings Neck set
correctly on good lay of shoulder, length of back to height good
ratio, and nice length of loin. Tail set correct. Moved well with animation,
caught my eye the moment she entered the ring, so pleased to be able to award
her BCC and BOB.
2nd – Waugh's Glory Daze
at Tribannon – Wheaten bitch, another with feminine head. Slighter build than
1, angulations ok and moved well.
Would prefer a little less neck length.
3rd – Inett &
Harrison's Carradine Jo
