CAIRN JUDGE LEEDS 15

Cairn Terriers

I enjoyed my morning judging this entry, thank you. I was delighted by the depth of quality in the bitches – the challenge line up was, I thought, full of lovely bitches.

I tried to get the right balance for the breed as a priority – allied to good movement & typy heads.

Many thanks to my stewards Debbie Dixon & Colin Woodward.

MPD

1 Birselaw Stay With Me, 8½ months brindle, lovely proportions & balance, good skull, stop & eyes. Ears could be neater. Scored in rib & proportions. Sound & accurate on the move. In heavy coat. Full of type & quality for the future. BPD;

2 Seveek I Spied That Dream, 7 months red, at the moment a little rangy but he is well made with good head, coat & movement. Not as forward in body as 1.

JD

1 Carradine George Flies with Harkinleigh, 14 months brindle of lovely proportions & excellent topline. Strong head with good eye colour. Good proportions. Maximum bone for my taste. Excellent coat. Very good rear drive & profile. Front action can tighten a little. Great topline, correct tailset & carriage, exciting young dog. RCC;

2 Anjofra Russian Roulette, 15 months, lovely type I liked a lot & I preferred his bone to 1 but he needs to fill out in body now. Has excellent movement & topline. When he matures in body should make a lovely dog;

3 Brenndarcy Lord Marmaduke avec Strathgarten.

PGD

1 Birselaw Never Say Never at Kerrykeel, 17 months, he is too big for my taste but he is balanced with good length of leg & medium length of back. Scored in head although his ears could be smaller. Good rib & moved well. Needs new coat;

2 Seveek Double Dice, 2 years, smaller dog but he is a little low on the leg for balance & a little narrow in head. Sound moving. Topline could be better. Not in his best coat.

LD

1 Gyncairn Magical Mystery, almost 2 years, beautiful type, a real workmanlike terrier & lovely in the head & eye & ears. Completely balanced & very good movement. Correct tailset & carriage. Made the last three in the challenge. Top quality;

2 Carradine Dexter, very showy dark brindle of 2 years, lovely head & eye. Good rear action. A little loose in front. Tail carriage just a little high & this makes him look a little too compact. I preferred the balance of 1;

3 Renshaw There And Back Again.

OD

A good class for depth of quality.

1 Ch Honeyhall Headboy, 3 years, scoring in head & strength of muzzle to win this. Excellent movement. Coat just about to blow. Lovely proportions & balance. CC & BOB;

2 Svendalens Snow Knight, 3 years, lovely type & proportions, good mover. Not the strength of head of 1 but I liked him a lot. I would have preferred a little more coat;

3 Nordcairns Once Upon A Time at Birselaw.

VD

1 Ch Carradine Night Listener at Harkinleigh, 7 years, lovely proportions & balance, correct in tailset & carriage, good head for strength & strong jaw. BV.

MPB

1 Seveek Hopes ‘N’ Dreams, 7 months, just looking a little long for her leg length at the moment but when she settled on the move looked more balanced. In good coat & a very good mover. Head needs time to develop. Good eye. Full of spirit;

2 Seveek Country Sunset, 7 months, a little heavy in body & this affected her topline & front action. I liked her head & expression. Needs new coat.

PB

1 Brenndarcy Moonstruck, stood out here, lovely proportions, balance & shape held on the move. 9½ months, lovely puppy for size, proportions & balance. Scored in rib & chest. Good head proportions, lovely ears & good eye. Excellent coat, correct tail, very good on the move & her drive & assurance took her to BP;

2 Tweslam Gimme Gimme Magic, 9 months red, another of excellent proportions, lovely expression for dark eyes of correct shape. Good coat texture. Just not as forward in rib & body as 1 but should finish well;

3 Pendley Ola.

JB

Difficult class, all different in type but all with quality.

1 Trekhilli Pickled Pepper, 15 months, maximum size for a bitch for me but scored on the move & in topline. In very good coat. Good head proportions;

2 Carradine Connies Kirsty, looked my winner standing, light brindle of 14 months. I preferred her size & she has a lovely head but her topline on the move could have been stronger. In excellent coat. Just a little reluctant to put all in on the move;

3 Miketos Marvellous Fiona at L’Artiste.

PGB

1 Seveek Snow Angel with Svendalens, 23 months, lovely size, good length of leg. Correct for bone. Feminine quality head. Good movement with best topline & tailset of the class;

2 Caldwall Carefree, 2 years, I liked her proportions & type very much & she moves with a good stride. Good head & ears. I preferred front angulation & tailset of

3 Tweedisle Playing With Fire at Landbuck.

LB

1 Gyncairn Believe In Magic, copybook for size, type, a beautiful cream with black point. 2 years, lovely type & proportions, stood out here. In great coat. Ultra sound. Very good in head & ears & with lovely expression. Open winner pipped her on maturity of body but I loved her. RCC;

2 Brenndarcy Cinnamon Girl for Owenreach, 2 years red, in rather short coat but of good texture. Very sound & appealed in head & expression. Just a little heavier in body than 1. More collected on the move than

3 Tribannon Minuet, lovely type but giving her hander a hard time.

OB

Excellent class.

1 Ch Seveek Living The Dream, took my eye going round the ring for stride & topline. 3 years, lovely type & proportions, very good mover. In excellent coat. Scored in quarters & tailset in a very close decision. Quality head, good eye & ears, good forechest & ribbing. CC;

2 Pendley Hester, 3 years, great showgirl & mover. Lovely size, lovely proportions. Appealed in headpiece. In very good coat;

3 Ch Tweslam Thistle Be Magic.

VB

Both lovely bitches & I changed my initial placing of them because of the great spirit & drive of the older bitch.

1 Curtisey Foreign Account with Carradine, 9 years, dark brindle, lovely headed bitch with excellent proportions. In shorter coat but scored in topline & rear drive. A touch heavy in body & this shows in her front action;

2 Ch Landbuck Jazz Hands, 7 years, looked my winner standing being lighter in body & lovely size & proportions. In good coat. A little lacklustre on the move on the day & this showed in her topline on the move.
