CAIRN MANCHESTER 2010 Judge: Mr W H Cammish CAIRN JUDGE MANCHESTER 10 Cairn Terriers For the first time ever I found this was not an easy show to judge. So many different shapes & sizes with no uniform pattern. Also I was disappointed there was not a MP class as, obviously, some very young babies would have fared better if there had been. BOB was Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle, a dark gr/br who excels in head, eye & overall balance, in excellent coat, good legs & feet, good front, very well muscled & when he put his mind to it one can see free, parallel, movement. I understand this was his second CC so let’s hope his third will not be long delayed. BCC was Ch Birselaw Firebird of Stradivarius, this r/br has a head to die for, such an enchanting expression, so typical & feminine as one would expect from her breeding, moved effortlessly &, indeed, I thought she was the best mover of the day. Sadly she is not the best showgirl in the world (which cost her BOB) but I could not overlook her very many other virtues. BP was Cannwood Remember Holly, I thought this cream bitch was the star of the show. what a charmer, beautiful head, in very good coat, very well presented & handled. She was not perfect all the time going round the ring but she is just a puppy with lots of time to get her act together completely. I was captivated with her & predict that she will have a very bright future. PD (4) 1 Percy’s Winetta Sir Percy, r/br, mature pup possessing a good head & outline & a good harsh coat if perhaps a little short. A bit wayward on the move to start with but eventually managed to do enough to win the class; 2 Felters & Rumens’ Landbuck Tillisch, nice cream pup in good coat. Not quite the balance of 1. JD (5) 1 Shopland’s Cherrycrack Blackadder, stylish r/br with pleasing balanced outline, reach of neck, topline, tailset all good. In a few months time when he is fully mature should trouble the best. RCC; 2 Mears’ Glenmear Marauder, very typy dark brindle with typical head & eye, in very nice coat. Liked him a lot but lost out to 1 on performance. PGD (7,2) 1 Weinberger’s Larchlea Come Fly With Me to Corrennie, another stylish r/br with the correct balance, nice harsh jacket, plenty of daylight which I like to see, good masculine head; 2 Firth & Jones’ Cairngold Spin Of The Wheel, appealing cream with very good head, showed & handled well, LD (9,1) 1 Smith’s Rocasovale’s Razzle Dazzle; 2 Warne’s Spirebrook Dawn Raider, very pleasing dark brindle who took my eye when he entered the ring, moderate in every way, excellent head with intense expression, in the best of coats, moved very well, close decision. CC & BOB. OD (3) 1 Hogarty’s Ir Ch Cadagio The Unexpected, very good headed dark brindle oozing type but did not feel his movement matched the CC & RCC winners; 2 Moseley & Inett’s Spawyche Elizabethan Onyx, this dark r/br was my BP when I judged National Terrier but today the same remarks apply as 1. Very close decision. VD (0). PB (12,1) 1 Harding’s Cannwood Remember Holly. BP; 2 Petts’ Doonrae Joie De Vivre, promising pup with a very good, balanced outline, plenty of neck with good topline & tailset. JB (10,3) 1 Templeton’s Larchlea Can’t Remember, well I certainly can remember this dark brindle as I thought she was lovely, lovely head with a mischievous glint in her eyes, so typical of this breeder’s Cairns who never ceases to amaze me at the consistency of the quality cairns she produces. Perfectly presented & handled but today I preferred the movement of the CC & RCC winners. Her day will come; 2 Braybrook’s Cloverbrook Xtra Factor, very feminine wheaten/br who went round the ring like a rocket, very animated which I like to see, lovely head with melting expression. Would just prefer a harsher coat. PGB (9,2) 1 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Button It, classy cream, very well put together, in excellent coat, moved & showed really well &, in fact, was one I considered for top honours. This is another very nice specimen whose day will come; 2 Dolan’s Glenrood Warrior Princess, dark brindle who I have admired from the ringside & today did not disappoint. Very nice profile, typical head & expression, so very typy. LB (9,3) 1 King, Leighton, Inett & Harrison’s Curtsey Foreign Account with Carradine, dark r/br with very good head, good stop, neat ears, good harsh jacket, moved & showed very well, very nice bitch; 2 Clarke’s Conundrum Sweeter For Me for Lentrica, liked this dark brindle with appealing head, she also moved & showed well & gave the winner a run for her money. OB (9,3) 1 Munday’s Ch Birselaw Firebird of Stradivarius. RCC; 2 Felters & Rumens’ Ch Landbuck Jazz Hands, I have always greatly admired this lovely cream from the ringside & think she is a very worthy ch, head, neck, shoulders, topline, tailset all good, very good mover & a great showgirl. RCC. VB (1) 1 Munday’s Ch Stradivarius Sonata, just one veteran turned up today so this lovely dark red brindle bitch also won BV & she was also placed second in the veteran stakes. A good ambassador of the breed.
