CAIRN WELSH KC 12 Judge: Mr A Wight BEST OF BREED : 5184 KING, Dr N & LEIGHTON Mr G Ch Carradine Night Listener At Harkinleigh CAIRN JUDGE WELSH KC 12 Cairn Terriers MPD (3) 1 Bateman & Gomples’ Carradine Terries Tipple, by far the most mature & finished looking. Nice head, all male in attitude, ears could be higher set, good eyes & really good mouth. Lovely weighted boned, excellent spring & depth of rib, coat is harsh. Very settled on the move. Hope he doesn’t grow on; 2 Waugh’s Tribannon War Dance, very raw little wheaten chap, all legs & wings. Pleasing head, very dark eyes, ears could be smaller to advantage. Harsh textured coat, moved out with a smart step; 3 Keeves’ Seveek Dare To Be Red. PD, JD & GD (0). PGD (4) 1 Keeves & Bennett’s Seveek Who Dares Wins, big enough, best head, eyes & expression, enough spring of rib, ample reach in neck & pleasing outline. Covers the ground with an easy stride in profile, needs to be firmer in hock when going away; 2 Gold’s Vale of Atholl’s Shaggy Grey Buck, wheaten of nice size, in excellent coat, good dark eyes of good size, so alive in expression. Ears could be neater & he didn’t really step out in action as freely as 1. LD (4) 1 RCC, Cameron’s Stryveling Rocket Man, won here on the quality of his head & expression, well boned, sufficient spring of rib & length of leg giving him an attractive outline. In very good coat, moved out soundly albeit without quite as much oomph & drive as the CC winner; 2 Soper’s Elitecharm Dream Boy, more on the leg than Rocket Man & I felt his expression was just a little plainer. Has a lovely neck, firm backline, well set & carried tail, covered the ground better in profile. Bit of a fidget & gave his handler a hard time of it; 3 Peers’ Tweedisle Sea Scout. OD (2) 1 CC & BOB, King & Leighton’s Ch Carradine Night Listener at Harkinleigh, very dark brindle with an eyecatching outline, using that good neck to best advantage. Head handles so well, lovely eyes & an almost wicked expression from well shaped & coloured eyes. So well ribbed, firm in backline, very well set & carried tail & his coat was spot on. Raring to go he strode around the ring with a panache & style & I felt was a worthy BOB winner; 2 E Dream Boy. MPB (5) 1 BP, Yates & Johnson’s Pendley Hester, br/wheaten poppet who stormed into the ring with all the self belief & sass in the world. She present a lovely outline, head held high, neat ears up & eyes sparkling with self belief. In really good coat, well ribbed, stands on well boned legs & once she gets into her stride really moves out; 2 Melia’s Carradine Minnies Image, rather a nice wheaten puppy but not the length of leg of 1 so not quite her appeal in balance. I liked her head, good width in skull, well defined stop & good jaw width. In lovely coat, stepped out with a reasonable stride & was sound; 3 Keeves’ Seveek I Dreamed A Dream. PB (3) 1 Coates’ Penticharm Starlight, what a stylish & very promising youngster this is. Wheaten with black points, really good head, neat ears, big teeth & a real show off. Tends to stand overlong & this detracts from the appeal of her balance. On the move she gets a little excited & over reaches, but this could well be a phase & when she settles to the job in hand, could finish up extremely well; 2 Osborn’s Tweslam Thistle Be Magic, another who I found attractive in repose. Very nice head pattern, beautiful neck, well laid shoulders & well weighted bone. Just needs to fill out a bit more in rib. On the move she is lithe & active with a purposeful stride; 3 Peers’ Tweedisle Party Girl. JB (3) 1 Inett, Harrison, King & Leighton’s Carradine I Am Florence with Harkinleigh, very stylish & sassy bitch, sadly out of coat but it shows how nicely constructed she is. Very good head which is well carried, level backed, enough width in hindquarters, correct tail set & carriage, moved around the ring with such a sense of purpose; 2 Tutchings’ Crowneast Midsomer Florey, better coated than 1. Very feminine in head, nice eyes for shape, colour & expression, good length of neck, so well ribbed. Never really showed any zest going around the ring; 3 Soper’s Elitecharm Diamond Girl. NB (2) 1 Melia’s Roachdee Treacle Bon Bon, I admired the head of this well coated bitch. Such good eyes & ears combine to give a winning expression. Her outline is good, ample ribbing & very good tail. Moves somewhat wide in front & was another which never really extended herself too much in profile; 2 Peers’ Tweedisle Paper Moon, much less finished than 1 & her head is still developing. Well bodied with good hind angulation & well set tail. In good coat, she just doesn’t have the necessary co-ordination as yet on the move so slackens off in topline. GB (3) 1 Jones’ Strathinver Simply Florrie, immaculately coated & presented wheaten, nice head, such dark eyes, well set ears, lovely reach of neck. Ribs well sprung & I am sure when she can be persuaded to put her mind to it, she will look good on the move. Here she was a bit of devil to settle to the job in hand but gave glimpses of soundness; 2 Usher’s Stryveling Polly Flinders, smaller, shorter legged bitch with a fair head. Ears a bit on the wide side. However, so well bodied, excellent ribcage & in good bloom. A most attentive showgirl just lacking the overall balance of 1. PGB (7) 1 Dolan’s Castleline Peggy Sue, this one was just full of herself, brisk in action, going places with drive & so attentive on the stack. I liked her head quality & that devilish twinkle in her expression. Well ribbed, uses her neck so well & her outline is so balanced. Sound in action she enhanced the challenge; 2 Inett, Harrison & Clayton’s Carradine Time To Shine, heaps to like about this dark brindle bitch, standing she uses herself so well that her outline has immediate impact. Handling shows she is well bodied, has a decent layback in shoulders, is well muscled & in good body. Matched 1 in the quality of her head & expression but was just that little true going away from me, though the profile movement was impressive; 3 Stephinson’s Twohoots Martha. LB (7) 1 CC, Cameron’s Stryveling Sweet Caroline, what a lovely example of the breed she is. Scores heavily in head & expression, devoid of exaggeration anywhere, in excellent jacket & her construction is so balanced with good angles both ends. At her best on the move, showing reach & drive & her front action when fore viewed was the best of the day. Has a lovely head, never let up showing & so earned the top award; 2 Yates & Hohnson’s Pendley Playaway, another top quality bitch who will have many admirers. She was on the tiptoe of expectation throughout & was lovely to handle. Delightfully headed, wicked expression, good neck & really well bodied. Spotless in presentation she really does motor around the ring. I called her back to challenge for the RCC but she was somewhat rushed in & never really settled as well as the OB winner. Could finish very well; 3 Inett’s Carradine Come On Irene. OB (10) The best class of the day with some quality bitches on view. 1 RCC, Dolan’s Ch Glenrood Masquerade, what a lovely type & in wonderful body & coat, has an air of class, has style in abundance, totally feminine yet has good substance, showed her socks off, her head & expression will always attract admiration. Went around the ring with a balanced, even stride with good driving hocks. Ran the CC winner very close. I just edged Caroline that fraction better coming towards me, a pleasure to judge such a lovely bitch; 2 Hughes & Hooton’s Gyncairn Royal Velvet at Penticharm, another top class bitch of lovely make & shape. Wonderful on the move, so sound & with a verve & drive not too often seen. Head handles so well, lovely mouth & teeth, good stop & well set ears. I finally opted for what I considered to be the better eye & expression of Masquerade, but would be un-surprised if this one goes on to her title; 3 Waugh & Carlton Smith’s Tribannon Guardian Angel.
