CAIRN DRIFFIELD 14 Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn Andrews BEST OF BREED : 3883 OSBORN Mr A & Mrs A Tweslam Thistle Be Magic CAIRN JUDGE DRIFFIELD 14 Cairn Terriers MPD (1) 1 BP, Clarke’s Svendalens Perseverance with Lentria, exceptionally promising 6 months old. I really wouldn’t want him any different for age. Lovely head & broad jaws, OK in neck & front, excellent topline & underline. Tail set & carried perfectly & he moves very well all ways. JD (2,1a) 1 RCC, Keeves’ Seveek Double Dice, very ragged in coat & not ‘rugged’ & he smelt a bit. Lovely head & the best of pigment. Fair front, good body & rear & great temperament. Moves very well indeed. YD (0). PGD (2) Two not very good Cairns but able to place them 1 & 2 for several virtues. 1 Brennan’s Cloverbrook I Mean Business at Milindack, was the right length to height, has a good coat & underline & reasonable front. A little narrow in head & moves with his backend tucked under him; 2 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Limited Edition, good head & perfect triangle between ears when erect & nose. Very upright in shoulders & rather boxy in outline. Excellent coat & tail. LD (6,1) Nice class. 1 CC, Shopland’s Hjohho’s A Kind Hjo Can’t Find On Cherrycrack, super in type & quality, good head & eyes, neat front, well bodied & a level back, tailset & carried correctly. Excellent coat & presentation. Well made quarters & he moved smoothly & with some power but could have put more effort into it; 2 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Renshaw There And Back Again, also appealed for proportions, size & balance. His head hair is a little too soft & he is rather undermuscled but it didn’t affect his precise movement. In good hard back coat, super legs & feet, overall a rugged but still smart Cairn male; 3 Bateman & Gompels’ Carradine Terries Tippple. OD (2) 1 Inett, Harrison & Melia’s Can Ch Emjade Jimmy Hendrix, a big dog, moving very wide going away but super front, bone & tight feet. OK in head, ears carried a little to the side. Nicely presented & he has bags of personality; 2 Percy’s Ch Winetta Stand And Deliver, stands with his feet turned out far too much & moving very close going away. Good outline, excellent deep pigment, neat ears, strong jaws, reasonable mover in profile too. GCD (1) 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh’s Birselaw Fable. MPB (2) Two exuberant babies. 1 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Fortune Teller, I liked her head & correct placement & carriage of ears. Fair front, good bone, well bodied & deep enough for age. Very profuse coat. Difficult to assess movement on either baby; 2 Lomax’s Birselaw Heart Of Glass at Quickmere, not so developed in body & depth of chest as 1. She moved quite well in snatches. Ears set a bit too close together. Lovely almond to oval shape of eye. Feet a bit thin. PB (2,1) 1 Osborn’s Tweslam Born To Bewitch, promising puppy, a little in between stages on the day. Very true & precise moving. Deep pigment, strong foreface, good bone for size which was plenty big enough for a puppy bitch. Nicely angulated quarters, well set tail. JB (4) 1 Waites’ Seveek Snow Angel with Svendalens, lovely proportions & is of correct size, powerful construction, good head, immaculate front, good forechest & upper arm shape, the whole front end well put together. OK in quarters but can still widen a little more going away. Excellent coat coming & a lovely quality prospect; 2 Brennan’s Milindack Maid To Measure, needs a better lay of shoulder & shoulder blades set up her neck so the neck joining her back is very abrupt. Moved better in rear than 1 but overall make & shape not quite up to 1; 3 Felters & Rumens’ Tweedisle Playing With Fire at Landbuck. YB (3,1) 1 Owen’s Caldwall Carefree, lovely head & expressive eyes, neat small ears set well. OK in front & rear movement but in profile it shows she slopes off in croup. Good proportions of height to length & a great temperament; 2 Percy’s Winetta Duchess Dora, bigger bitch & running up in topline & straighter behind than she should be. Good forehand, wonderful coat with that slightly greasy (but clean) feel that is so weatherproof. Shows beautifully & is an attractive exhibit. PGB (5,1) 1 Melia’s Carradine Minnies Magic, looks a little too heavy in body but it is a very thick coat. Liked her head, not too large & in proportion to her body. Good front, bone & feet, moved well & carried her tail nicely, good size & shows well; 2 Marshall & Gavaghan’s Doonrae Million Dollar Baby, not the hindquarters of 1 & she looks rather leggy & out of balance just at this stage of development. Promising & pleasing to go over. Well ribbed & a good level back. Needs time I thought; 3 Purvis’ Svendalens Memoire Cherie. LB (5,2) 1 RCC, Petts’ Doonrae Lexicon Of Love, lovely bitch. I was very taken with her. Good size, head of good shape & strength, eyes could be a little less round maybe. Sound front, well ribbed, powerful quarters & superbly muscled up, tail carried out well. In good rugged coat & lovely body condition. Moved nicely & smoothly covering the ground with ease; 2 Carter’s Brenndarcy Dizzie Lizzie at Carernwll, also very well conditioned & beautiful quarters with well developed second thighs. Good head & eyes, just not moving as well in front as 1 but her equal in body, quarters & coat texture; 3 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Dizzee Rascal. OB (7,1) A good class. 1 CC & BOB, Osborn’s Tweslam Thistle Be Magic, a mite too square maybe but her head, eyes & neat ears were super. Very true front & rear, rugged coat, excellent tail, great personality, shows superbly & is great in side action for ground coverage & smoothness. Outmoved the DCC for BOB. A quality bitch of workmanlike appearance; 2 Bateman & Inett’s Carradine In Love With Amy, just a little bolder in eye & a wee bit too close going away. Slightly better in length of body than 1. Also admired her neck, front, bone & topline. Well set & carried tail & well bent stifles; 3 Keeves’ Ch Seveek Living The Dream. GCB (2) 1 Ch S Living The Dream, up from 3rd in OB, a lovely bitch, just on the big side but super to go over, great side action & in smashing coat, body & muscletone; 2 Purvis’ Svendalens Memoire Cherie, a little more ‘ragged’ than ‘rugged’ & slightly heavy in body. Good for size & proportions of height to length, shows well & was enjoying herself. ZENA THORN-ANDREWS |
