CAIRN SCOTTISH BREEDS 24 Judge: Mrs Modwena Johnston (Glenveagh) Delighted to be invited to judge at this unique show, always a favourite of mine. I believe the overall entry increased and I wish the Club continued support and success in the coming years. My thanks to my two able stewards Moray and Hazel Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated my quality entry. As always with this breed temperaments were superb and I had many very fine examples of the breed to judge making decisions very close. Though not a breed to be over presented I felt a little judicial trimming especially neck and shoulders would have greatly enhanced those who excelled here in conformation. Then I was faced with a conundrum when deciding BOB as my eventual winner was today a bit short of coat but her personality won her the day 1 Furythor Orion (Young & Lithgow) Dk Brindle,Correct head proportions, Broad scull, strong muzzle, stop could be more defined. Nice eye, good bite. Stands well over forelegs but would prefer a slightly better lay of shoulder.Good legs, feet. Firm topline, good tailset. Moved true out and back 1 Lindcoly Outta Sight (Saich) Grey brindle. Today seemed unhappy with surroundings and did not give of his best.. Pleasing head and expression with broad scull, neat ears,good eye, Strong muzzle with correct bite. Correct neck running into well laid shoulders, Well ribbed, strong loin, firm topline with correct tailset and carriage.
