CAIRN JUDGE LKA 11

I very much enjoyed judging our breed at LKA and thank the committee for their invitation and the hospitality I received.

In common with the opinion of many judges nowadays, I thought there was more depth of quality in the bitches than in the dogs, but having said that there were some top quality males present. There were some really lovely heads in both dogs and bitches and this is good to see as the head is so important in defining our breed. I only found a couple of suspect mouths so far as the bite was concerned, but there were a lot with very small teeth which I found disappointing. Coats and presentation were generally good. Some bitches were overweight which spoilt their outline. So far as movement is concerned, we still have some loose fronts but otherwise I thought movement generally had improved since I last judged.
