CAIRN JUDGE SKC MAY 17

Cairn Terriers

I would like to thank the committee of the SKC for the invitation to judge, & for their hospitality, my stewards Sheona Fortune & Margaret Shaw for their help after a long day for them both, & to all the exhibitors.

The day was very enjoyable & overall I was happy with the quality of the entry. It is definitely worth noting that the height & weight of both the dogs & bitches varied dramatically over the total entry. As on all previous occasions when I have judged, all temperaments were excellent.
