It was a privilege to be part of such a special milestone, and my heartfelt thanks also go to the exhibitors for the honour of judging their dogs. I was delighted with the excellent entry. We were fortunate to enjoy glorious weather—much appreciated by some dogs, though a little less so by others. I did try to adapt my judging format to keep dogs and exhibitors out of the direct sunshine as much as possible, thank you for your co-operation and understanding. I was pleased with my final placements; each dog was judged as I found it at that moment in the day, and it is quite possible that decisions may have differed had judging taken place later in the afternoon. I was, however, a little disappointed to see a few exhibits presented with dirty or untidy coats and not shown to their best advantage. Presentation and handling can have a significant influence on how a dog appears in the ring, and in some cases the handlers did let their dogs down. Encouragingly, many seemed to settle and present their dogs far better as the day progressed, which was pleasing to see. I would also like to say a big thank you to my fantastic steward who kept both myself and exhibitors in check. VD (1,0) 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh Birselaw Come Dancing with Macmoon OSW JW ShCEx Sh 8-year-old dark brindle dog with an exceptional head and expression. Shown today in a very profuse coat, which did not quite allow his outline to be seen to full advantage. He was rather interested in the scents on the floor at times, but once settled he moved well and with purpose. He enjoys a lovely rapport with his handler, and he was a pleasure to go over. MPD (1,0) 1 Dennis & Waites Svendalens Moon Stone 7/12 month old up to size masculine puppy. Showed with a cairn like attitude. His head furnishings are developing and his was shown in a shorter coat today. He moved well and held his topline on the move. PD (1,0) 1 Lucas & Tobutts Carradine Sir Percival 11-month-old red brindle dog with a good, thick, coarse coat coming through. He has a pleasing head with his furnishings developing nicely, a dark eye, and large, clean teeth. There is a good flow from neck into shoulder, with a clear forechest. He moved with drive, and his movement will naturally tighten with maturity. Well muscled and full of promise. JD (1,0) 1 Percys Northern Dancer With Winetta A 14-month-old teenager who certainly took charge of the ring and made his handler work! He carries a lovely deep red, harsh coat and is of correct size and well balanced. He has a well-defined stop, neat ears which he used to advantage, and large teeth with a correct bite. Once he settled, he moved well and displayed a clean, tidy outline. Well muscled and developing nicely. PGD (2,0) A close decision. 1 Lamb & Saltmarsh Tycadno Shining Star Around Macmoon JW An up-to-size, well-balanced cream dog with a stunning head. His coat today was not presented to its best advantage, which would have allowed his outline to be seen more cleanly. He has large, correct teeth with a sound bite and dark, well-shaped eyes. Moved well and is a quality exhibit. 2 Mundays Furythor Reluctant Villan Today he did not move as well as I have seen him do on other occasions (and at the show afterwards, he seemed very interested in what was on the floor. A masculine dark grey brindle with excellent muscle. Good head furnishing, good stop, correct dentition. Good flow of neck onto well set shoulders, good spring of rib. LD (2,0) A nice class 1 Parkins Mosspur Into The Shadows Much to like about this boy. A 21-month-old, up-to-size, well-balanced red. Presented to show off his assets and outline to good effect. He has a well-shaped skull with good ear placement and a defined stop. Dark eyes of correct shape give a keen expression. Good spring of rib, level topline, and correct tail carriage. Moved with drive and confidently took control in the ring. 2 Lucas & Tobutts Seveek Country Lad On the day I preferred the movement of No1. Another well presented balanced male with a thick grey brindle coat. He is well muscled and clearly well exercised. Nice head with a strong jaw and large teeth with correct bite. Good shoulder placement. Moved satisfactorily. OD (4,0) What a class! All dogs are of exceptional quality. 1 Thomas’s Tycadno Magic Man What a head! A well balanced of correct size male, presented impeccably, who enjoyed his day. He has a defined stop, eye of correct shape and colour, a good strong jaw and correct bite. Good bone and a balanced clean outline. Moved with drive and showed himself off well, holding topline and tailset on move. DCC 2 Felters and Rumens Ch Landbuck Sabrage A close call with no1. This boy has a true cairn attitude and glint in his eye which I love! It was a pleasure to go over him. Today he seemed slightly distracted by what was on the floor – however when he settled he moved well. Very masculine expression, enhanced by his eye and use of ears. He has a good reach of shoulder and spring of rib and depth of chest. Good bend of stifle and anglulation. RES DCC 3 Roberts Cannwood Moonlight Shadow VB (1,0) 1 Smiths Cannwood Misty Dawn At Gethlee A 9-year-old cream who could still teach the youngsters a thing or two. She presented herself well throughout, happy and confident. Of correct size, with good bone and plenty of muscle. She has an appealing head with neat ears, good dentition, and a dark, correctly shaped eye that enhances her expression. Good reach of neck, well-set shoulders, and a pleasing spring of rib. Best Veteran MPB (2,0) I look forward to seeing how both of these youngsters develop. 1 Saichs Lindcoly Who’s That Girl (naf) A happy, content, feminine cream puppy with attractive dark points. She presented well and has a good double coat. Lovely dark eye of correct shape. Correct size for her age. She moved ok once settled. 2 Shannon and Storrs Brendarcy Supertramp Unfortunate that she came up against No1 on the day. A lot to like about this red brindle. She wasn’t happy on the move, which made it hard to assess movement. Lovely large teeth and correct bite. When standing she showed off a good outline. Very feminine. PB (2,0) 1 Parker-Tuckers Uniquecottage Dark Tansy A pretty feminine grey brindle. Of correct size for age and well muscled. Very happy in the ring and moved with drive and confidence. Pleasing head with dark eye, good stop. Correct dentition and bite. Good reach of neck, well set shoulders, and a good spring of rib. Clean outline when standing and on the move. Best Puppy 2 Hiam & Hartrops Carradine Hazel Moon Unfortunate to come up against no1 today. Shown in a slightly shorter coat – not a bad thing as it shows off her outline and structure. This was her first show and she did well, she had an excellent connection with her handler. She is of correct size and is well constructed. JB (4,0) A nice class – with quality bitches 1 Firths Glenrood Silent Whisperer At Cairngold Came into the ring with full cairn attitude which made her catch my eye. A balanced feminine cream bitch of correct size. She was well presented with an excellent coat. Her expression is enhanced by her eyes – which are of correct size, shape and colour. Nice large clean teeth. She has a good reach of shoulder, level topline and correct tail carriage which she held when on the move. I look forward to seeing where her show career takes her. 2 Parker Tuckers Uniquecottage Sorrel 11 month cream bitch, a feminine quality head with neat ears. Lovely large teeth with correct bite.
