CAIRN JUDGE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 13

Apologies for the delay. A few days after the Symposium I had an op. which didn’t go to plan so I spent a few extra days in hospital. On my return home I began the report then my computer crashed, it also has been in the PC World hospital for ten days. Hopefully nothing else will happen !!

Many thanks to the Birmingham Committee for their hospitality, also my two very efficient stewards, last but definitely not least the exhibitors for the excellent entry. The highlight of the day for me was the opportunity to get acquainted with all the Cairns.

Considering the entry as a whole, I felt quite depressed at the lack of real cairn heads and expression, surely the hallmark of the breed. Heads lacking stop accompanied by large round , sometimes prominent, eyes look totally foreign to me. Many had incorrect mouths from very small teeth to variations of a scissor bite. Presentation was excellent in many cases but head furnishings back combed and full of ‘product’ does rather detract from the varminty expression of a working cairn, apart from contravening K.C. rules and it is obviously cheating. There was more than a few with dirty smelly coats, a judge’s hands should not be literally black after handing show dogs.

I was looking for a cairn of medium size with typical head, correct natural coat and showing some animation, fortunately there were!

VD ( 2 entries)

1.Smith’s Ch. Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle., Well proportioned, masculine dog, good head and expression, harsh coat, moved freely.

2. Grainger’s Ch.Devil in Disguise. Well presented red in good coat, dark eye, good mouth, just preferred depth of brisket of 1.

Two very worthy champions

MPD (6: 2ab)

1 Percy’s Winetta Sir Ivor. Liked the outline of this wh.br. puppy, very nice head, dark eyes and points, would prefer a little more body on him but I’m sure this will come with maturity. Very promising. B.P.( shortlisted in puppy group)

2 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Limited Edition. Red shown in full coat, very typical head with dark eyes, shows all the time, preferred length of back and rear angulation of 1.

3 Vlieghe & Newton’s Marie’s Magic Moonraker.

PD (4: 1ab)

1 Mears Glenmear Magee.This big rangey red was shown in his vest, but did show off his good topline, tailset, legs and feet and good head, needs to body up, well up to size. Some ring training could be beneficial !!.

2 Goldfinch’s Franchaleal Itsallover at Kanawha. Very much smaller red shown in good coat, nice head,not quite balanced for me,moves well in front not so positive behind.

3 Drew’s Tycadno Thriller at L’Artiste.

JD (2 )

1 Waite’s Svendalens Snow Knight. Wh.. medium balance throughtout. Typical head enhanced with dark points and eyes. Well angulated front and rear, moves with real drive. Quality coat, on his toes, showing all the time. Pleasure to award him RCC.

2. Coffell’s Ometto I Am The One and Only. Red with nice head , well angulated front, correct coat, front movement good, not so positive behind.

GD. (6. 2ab)

1. Shannon Storr’s Brendarcy Borgen. Red of medium proportions, Good stop, dark eyes, harsh coat, well anglated front and rear, moved and handled well.

2 Kinchin’s Tyreece’s Tricks at Pennidazzle. Dark br. in exellent coat, typical head, moved soundly, a little too long in length to be correctly balanced.

LD (10.) Very nice class.

1. Catto’s Birslaw The Thrill Of It All. Quality wh.br. so well balanced, well angulated front and rear, which shows in his excellent movement. Correct size. Coat just on the blow. Showed well in his class but gave up in the challenge..

2 Byrne & Inett’s Carradine Brian the Lion. A beautifully presented dk.br. with lovely head and expression, anotjer correctly balanced cairn, sound throughout Although he moves very well, thought 1 just had the edge today.

3 Percy’s Winetta Stand and Deliver.

Three superb cairns.

.OD (8) Another quality class.

1. Robinson’s Ch. Cruzo Billbo Baggins. This wheaten impresses with his friendly attitude, he is well up to size, but has an impressive head complete with deep stop dark eyes and points. correct length of neck for his size, layback of shoulder and rear angulation. level top line and quality coat, moves with drive, beautifully presented, just asked for the CC. Competed strongly for BOB but I thought the bitch’s size was more compatible with the breed standard.

2. Braybrook’s Ch Cloverbrook Codebreaker. A very impressive dk. br. cairn. Superb head and expression, handles so well on the table , good angulation front and rear, quality coat and presented to perfection. Very close decision, thought 1 had the edge on movement and showmanship on the day.

MPB (2)

1. Gavaghan’s Doonrae Million Dollar Baby. This puppy’s round eyes spoiled the expression for me in an otherwise good head, with deep stop, and dark points. She is soundly constructed, with a pleasing front and good rear angulation. She is very charismatic and shows like a veteran.
