Midland
Cairn Terrier Club Open Show, August 3rd 2002

The Midland Cairn Club held an
Open Show at Shirland. Judging a breed
club show is always interesting and the support this show had from exhibitors
made it even more exciting. A super
entry of 102, although somewhat depleted by a number of absentees, made it a
very interesting occasion for me.
I have taken an interest in this breed for as long as I have
been involved with terriers and this involvement now approaches its 45th
anniversary. Needless to say there were
many excellent dogs and many difficult decisions to make. One or two decisions I would have been happy
to reverse at any time, but to me they were right at the very moment I made
them.
The natural appearance called for in the Standard gives a lot of
room for different interpretations, but I do believe every exhibitor wants to
make the most of their dogs and it is a very fine line between trimming and
over trimming! All my top winners were
well presented. Best in Show was
Wellingley What Now, young bitch with a super temperament, on all toes all
the time, lovely head and expression, balanced neck, excellent body and bone,
moved well and she certainly made the most of what she got, well handled and
presented: Reserve Best In Show, Glenchess Night Owl, very mature
and has lovely outline, feminine head, good neck, body and topline, moved and
showed well, so well presented, not a hair out of place; Best Opposite Sex;
Lockelsh Pegno D’Amore, an attractive masculine dog, nice head, good neck,
body and bone, excellent coat, moved well and showed himself off with style and
temperament in his class. When time
came for the BIS competition, he seemed to have lost interest; & Best
Puppy, Lockelsh Expect the Best.
