JOINT CAIRN TERRIER CLUBS
5 August 2001

ROY TESTER (Judge)         

I had a most enjoyable day judging the Joint Cairn Terrier Club's Open Show hosted this year by the Midland CTC.  I found a number of light eyes, uneven mouths and indistinct stops but on the upside  movement was better than anticipated. 

 

My BIS Carradine Toblerone embodies the characteristics which originally attracted me to the breed. I liked his size, overall  balance, firm construction and flowing movement but above all  his typical outgoing character.  RBIS Glenchess Wild Echo is again very typical with an attractive head, keen piercing expression, well-toned body & quarters, stretching well forward on the move.  BPIS Lockelsh Whats It All About was a clear winner, in lovely condition and puppy coat, built on clean cut lines, moving as well as any on the day', a most promising prospect.

 

.V  (4,2a): 1 Dolan's Glenrood Snow Pipit, 71/2 years  cream in super condition & coat, lovely feminine xpression,  very showy;

 2 Jennings' Doonrae Prudence, 81/2 years dark brindle, nice expressive eye, not as sparky as 1 but a good honest type

.MPD (3,2): 1  Howard's Lockelsh Whats It All About, 7 months wheaten,  very alert & expressive eye, liked his size BPIS 

PD (3,2): 1 Shannon & Storr's Brenndarcy Bill Badger, 11 months red, well-defined stop & good teeth, used ears well , tail a touch low but wagged with enthusiasm, good legs & feet.

2 Mears' Glenmear Mac, well-furnished balanced head, typical expression, well-placed ears & tail carriage, good front, firmly made, wtn/br double coat not at it's best, moved well but 1 just had the edge; 

3 Butterfield's Camasmor Qui Vive.

 MD (1): 1 Stephinson's Twohoots Advent Oberon, good looking wheaten, alert dark eye,  nice ear set, overall

pleasing picture, showy tail wagger  needs to firm up when moving.  

ND (1): a 

PGD (4,1): 1 Jennings' Doonrae Virtuoso, dark brindle, all cairn, not in the best of coats but sound underneath, liked his typical head & expression, good bone, positive mover, beat 2 on alertness; 

2 Bradshaw's Tweslam Magic Time; well-constructed wheaten, masculine head, good top line & tail, nice type but hind movement could be better & inclined to drop his tail when it matters;
