CAIRN JUDGE SOUTHERN COUNTIES 16

Cairn Terriers

Congratulations to the SCCA committee & their team for such a well organised show. A special thank you to my efficient stewards. Also for the exhibitors patience when I found it necessary to move the Cairns quite considerably to allow them the opportunity to give their best when coping with the difficulties of the ring. The ring was a very good size, however, the grass had recently been cut & cutting left, some of which were quite spikey, the ring also had a slope & this combination was not appreciated by some of the exhibits & generally affected their movement today. Some Cairns coped very well when they became accustomed to the ground. I was really pleased with the overall quality & all Cairns were well presented, tidy but not overtrimmed. Some coats were on the blow, others coming in nicely. It was also very pleasing to find so many good & expressive heads. Many of the decisions were so very close. In the end it came down to placing them on how they coped with the ground and their animation. On another day & on a firmer ground they could well have been placed differently.

She showed really well in the class, however, she decided to show her mischievous nature in the challenge, choosing to have playtime instead of showtime;

2 Braybrook’s Cloverbrook Creating Waves, another nicely balanced lady, lovely head & feminine expression. Correct mouth, nice neck into well placed shoulders, good in body, front & quarters, in excellent coat & condition, true movement & covering the ground well. A very happy & keen showgirl;
