Berrecloth Writes; I recently had
the pleasure of judging a nice entry of Cairns at the Hallands Kennelklubb
International Show in western Sweden.
Overall the Cairns were very typical, good heads and stops and well
placed ears. Very few dodgy mouths or
untypical expressions. Most had good
length, depth and spring of rib and level toplines. Fronts were pretty good, hind angulation was mostly acceptable,
not excessive and movement was
reasonable with just a few wide in front and close behind. Handling and presentation was generally
very good with most showing on loose leads and very few requiring tails to be
held up, but some exhibits were shown in very short coats which at times
tended to the wiry – more like an Airedale than a Cairn. As to size – well that’s another
matter. Yes, they are all bigger than
the Standard, many much bigger, but should we criticise them when ours are no
better? Possibly in UK we have more
smaller ones – nearer the Standard – but how many are actually within
the 6 – 7 kilo range. Precious few I
suggest and those would look small in the ring compared to the rest! The
Swedish exhibitors are a friendly and sporting bunch and were graceful in
accepting my decisions and comments. BOB Ch. Hjohoo’s Having Fun With Hjo and
BOS Ch. Hjohoo’s I Wanna Be With Hjo were from the same exhibitor, Elisabeth
Theodorsson. |
