Joint Cairn Terrier Open Show 22^nd June 2003

 

I would like to thank the committee and exhibitors for a wonderful day.  The atmosphere at this show was wonderful.  The day was extremely warm and this took its toll on some of the dogs.  I found movement is something we will have to aim to improve on: some moved close behind and others loose in front.   Temperament was superb; it is something we seem to take for granted and do not give our breed enough credit for.  I found the quality in bitch classes to be really good and in the line up for best bitch it was a very close decision; there were a few I could have willingly taken home.

 

Veteran Dog or Bitch (1)

1.Parker Tucker,s Ch & Am Ch Uniquecottage Bright Gold  Nearly nine but still knows how to show off.   Beautiful head, good reach of neck into good shoulder placement, level topline which he held on the move. While he was in need of a new coat it did not take from his overall appearance.  A worthy champion.

 

2 Minor Puppy (5,1)

1.Fairweather,s Ock Ross I’m The Boss  R/b 6 months old enjoying his day out. He certainly thought he was the boss and gave his handler some trouble on the table, but done with that true cairn devilment.  Super head full of that mischievous expression, good neck, level topline in good coat, good bend of stifle .  Held his topline on the move and moved all out to win this class

 

2.Harrison & Formosa’s Carradine Master Guy W/B 6 months old Another with a super head, good neck, topline and tailset.  Beginning to lose his coat which took from his outline. Smaller than 1 and lost out to 1 on movement but this should settle with maturity.

Junior Dog (6,2)

1.Parker Tucker’s Uniquecottage Rusty Leaf.  Cream, lovely shape and make.  Good head, nice reach of neck, good shoulder placement, topline and tailset.  Good bend of stifle. Made his handler work hard to settle him on the table but settled on the move and showed well.

2.Parker Tucker’s Uniquecottage Tidy Shoes  Similar in type to one with a lot of the same qualities.  Lovely head, good reach of neck, super shoulder placement into correct topline and good bend of stifle.  Pushed hard as he showed all out to win.  Would just like a little more body to complete the picture.
