Swedish Cairn Terrier Club Show

Jarna, 12 July 2015

I was delighted to receive the invitation to judge Swedish Cairn Terrier Club show in Jarna, on 12 July 2015 and was very happy to accept the appointment. Angela, my wife, decided to come along too and it was our first visit to Sweden ever and the hospitality and arrangements were superb.

On the day of the Show the weather was fine and sunny, with only a 5 minute shower at around midday. The setting for the Show was very picturesque, which made it an enjoyable day. My two stewards, Tina and Christian, saw that proceeding went smoothly and that I didn’t stray off the path. Thank you to you both.

Although the Show entry was low, as it happened to clash with two other major shows on the same weekend, the quality of the entry was extremely high and I was challenged in many classes to make my placings. I was delighted with my top awards and would have taken them all home, but my suitcase just wasn’t big enough.

The dogs on this day were excellent. Beautiful heads, level toplines and correctly proportioned bodies with very few exaggerations in any feature. The Swedish Cairn Community should be very proud of their cairns and I hope they continue to breed such excellent exhibits.

Both Angela and I had a wonderful time and I would like to Thank the club, but in particular Susanne Duva, for looking after us so well.
