CAIRN SOUTHERN COUNTIES 17 Judge(s): MR DAVID WINSLEY Cairn Terriers Since I last judged the breed I think there has been little change, there are some dogs that fit the breed Standard well, but there are many lacking the points which give them true breed type. Front construction is a worry, many lack forechest & width, the turn of stifle has improved, but many still move poorly. Coats are always difficult at this time of the year. I was more than happy with my principal winners. MPD (3,1a) 1 Peer’s Tweedisle Lively Lad, well grown wh/br, he has a well balanced head with well placed ears & dark eye. Good length of neck, a little upright in shoulder which did affect his front action. Nicely balanced body with the correct spring of rib. He has a good turn of stifle & correct tailset. In good coat & moved well behind. BP; 2 Mansell’s Bailey Bill, very much a baby at his first show. I would have preferred a shorter foreface, he has a nice dark eye & typical expression. Good neck, needs to settle in front action. Nicely balanced body, correct tailset, just needs time to mature which should improve his movement. A happy confident puppy. PD & JD (0). PGD (6) 1 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Tinsoldat, I like this youngster very much, full of breed type. Lovely size, nice head & expression, neat well placed ears, dark eye & a well defined stop. Good reach of neck, correct in shoulder & straight in front. Well made body of the right proportions, good turn of stifle & short hock giving him that driving action. In a good coat, showed very well. Very promising. RCC; 2 Saich’s Lindcoly Howling Mad Murdoch, I liked this wheaten as he went around but disappointed me with his front action, hence his placing today. Typical head & expression, good reach of neck, level topline & a mature body. Well made hindquarters with the correct tailset & carriage. In good coat & condition, showed well; 3 Parker-Tucker’s Uniquecottage Silver Askin. LD (5) 1 Parker-Tucker’s Anjofra Roulette Russe, this boy was definitely in the running for the RCC but he doesn’t make the most of himself. He needs to be handled to appreciate his good points. Nicely balanced head, good dark eye giving him that ‘Cairny’ expression. Good reach of neck, correct shoulder angulation, good forechest & straight front. Good spring of rib, well made hindquarters, one of the few dogs that moved with some width behind. On the move he has a lovely balanced outline; 2 Shopland’s Trekhilli Mr Bean at Cherrycrack, dark brindle with a very nice head & expression, dark eye of the correct shape giving him the correct expression. Good reach of neck, rather light in body condition for me. Good turn of stifle with the correct tailset. Nice harsh coat, showed well, but needs to improve in his movement; 3 Thompson’s Castleline Barn Dance. OD (4,1) 1 Hughes & Hooton’s Gyncairn Magical Mystery, wheaten, the size I like. Has a very lovely head, well placed ears, dark eye, good stop, well filled foreface & big teeth. Good reach of neck, correct shoulder placement & straight in front. Well made balanced body with a good spring of rib, strongly made hindquarters, good turn of stifle & short hocks. Coat on the verge of going over but of a good texture still. Moved with sound fluent movement, showed all out wanting to please his handler all the time. Deserved the CC, his third I was told, a worthy Ch; 2 Kinton’s Ch Woodthorpe I Know The Code, gr/br, another nice male close up to 1 in many ways, just lacking in the free action of 1. Well balanced masculine head & expression. Mature well made body with the correct spring of rib, good hindquarters & a good tailset. Has a clean outline when he moves, shows well; 3 Weinberger’s Correnie Hurricane Fly. V (2) 1 Morley’s Kedvaiy Locamotion, 9 years dark brindle. Lovely typical head & expression, good reach of neck, good shoulder placement & straight front. Well made body with nice balance. Good hindquarters & correct tailset. In good coat & condition, moved well; 2 Bateman & Saich’s Dandi Boy Spud, appears older than his age, would benefit from carrying a little less weight. He has a nice head & true expression. Mature body with a good spring of rib & well made behind. Rather sluggish on the move. GC (2) 1 Morley’s Cannwood Here’s Hetty, silver wheaten, very feminine head & expression. Good neck, straight front, would like her to carry more body. Tends to look a little tall on the leg. Correct tailset, in a decent coat & showed well once she relaxed; 2 K Locamotion. MPB (4,1) 1 Peer’s Tweedisle Lucy Locket, fairly raw wheaten puppy. She has a nice head & expression, though a little lacking in head furnishings. Good neck & shoulders, good forechest with a straight front. Nicely balanced body, good turn of stifle with short hocks. She has a lovely quality coat for one so young, good mover when she gets settled, has time on her side; 2 Shopland’s Cherrycrack Fair Rosamund, r/br baby, immature as yet. She has a nice head & expression, straight front & good body shape. Well made hindquarters with a correct tailset. In nice coat & moves quite well once she settles, another with plenty of time on her side; 3 Soper’s Elitecharm Five Of Diamonds. PB (1) 1 Keeves’ Seveek With Svendalens Dreaming Again, wh/br with a very pleasing head, well placed ears, alert & keen expression with the desired dark eye. Good neck & shoulders, straight front. Good body, another with a good turn do stifle & short hocks. A lively sound mover, needs more coat to complete the picture, has all the essentials to mature into a nice bitch. JB (5) 1 Dolan’s Glenrood Spell Dance, silver with a super head, very feminine expression with a dark eye, a well defined stop. Good reach of neck, correct in shoulder, good forechest with a straight front. Nice body shape but could carry a little more weight to her advantage. Looks a shade up on the leg right now, but once she matures in body she should balance up. Well made hindquarters, correct tailset, in good coat, moves & shows well; 2 Dolan’s Glenrood Dance To The Spell, litter sister to 1 & many remarks are the same. Has a head very similar to her sister, carrying a better body & & has less length of leg. A decent mover both ways, in a good quality jacket, just lacking the attitude of her sister; 3 Sullivan’s Glenrood Magic Pettra. PGB (5) 1 Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Cloudbusting, light red half sister to my RCC dog, gave their sire the RCC last time I judged, nice to see he is producing a nice type of Cairn. Very expressive head with the correct eye colour, definite stop, small well placed ears. Straight in front with some width, good spring of ribs, well balanced body. Excels in turn do stifle, short hocks & well muscled hindquarters. In nice coat, moved soundly both ways; 2 Clayton’s Carradine Here Comes Dolly, red just lacking the maturity of 1, hence he placing today. Expressive pleasing head, good length of neck, straight front, good spring of rib with a nicely balanced body. Good hindquarters with the correct tailset.

Good length of neck, correct in shoulder angulation with a straight front. Mature well balanced body, good hindquarters & correct tailset. In a decent coat, moves well but would have liked he to go with a more lively action. Nice size & totally feminine; 2 Drew’s Miketos Marvelous Fiona at L’artiste, red that I judged before as a baby. Nice size, totally feminine. Has a lovely head, with well placed ears, dark expressive eyes & a well defined stop. Mature body, level in topline, well made hindquarters. Moves with a lively sound action, lost out to 1 on coat as hers is in between right now; 3 Jeeves’ Seveek Hopes N Dreams. OB (3) All quality girls. 1 Yates & Johnson’s Pendley Vivien, takes your eye as soon as she enters the ring. Silver wheaten of good breed type, she has a lovely balanced head with well placed ears, dark eye, well defined stop & well filled foreface. Good reach of neck, correct shoulder angulation with a straight front. Mature in body with the required spring of rib, well made hindquarters & correct tailset.

Pleased to award her the CC & BOB, her fourth I understand & was pleased to see she was shortlisted in the Group; 2 Hughes & Hooton’s Gyncairn Believe In Magic, unlucky to meet 1, I see she is litter sister to my DCC winner. Cr/wh who looks all ‘Penticharm’ to me. She has a lovely head piece, her keen expression is set off by her dark ears & dark eye. Her stop is well defined with a nicely filled foreface. Good reach of neck, correct in shoulder with a good straight front. In a mature body with well made hindquarters & correct tailset. Moved soundly both ways, shows well.
