CAIRN JUDGE WINDSOR 17

What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon, judging Cairn Terriers in H.R.H.’s garden.

I was disappointed to find that movement hasn’t improved since I last judged 3 years ago. However, mouths, eyes and heads had improved, but I was disappointed in the lack of muscle tone in the rear quarters of a number of exhibits. Coats appeared to be a problem with a lot of the exhibits, as quite a few had ‘open coats’. On the whole I was very pleased with the quality of my top winners.

I must also mention that the breed in the ring before Cairns had at least one bitch in season, which didn’t help the movement of any of the Cairn dogs when they were going around the ring with their noses to the ground!!!

Thank you to my excellent stewards, Mick Brind and Robyn Burnett for keeping everything on track.

Veteran D/B (2, 0)

1 Felters & Rumens, Ch. Landbuck Jazz Hands JW. 9½ years old, very feminine wheaten and went around the ring like a 2 year old, and covered the ground effortlessly. Lovely feminine head and expression, best of fronts, level topline and good tailset. Her coat let her down on the day, but as they say that’s a transient thing. Best Veteran

2 Graingers, Ch. Devil in Disguise. 12 year old red, in profuse coat, but a bit soft in texture. Lovely masculine head, good topline and tailset. Not as alert and active as 1, and was obviously feeling the very humid conditions, but still a lovely lad.

PD (3, 1)

1 Peers, Tweedisle Lively Lad, 9½ months. Well grown wheaten brindle with lovely outline and conformation. Good masculine head, with big teeth, and lovely Cairn eyes that used to be typical of the breed. Good length of neck, level topline, and tailset spot on, well balanced. In good coat with well muscled quarters. Room for improvement on his front movement, but he has plenty of time on his side.

2 Inett & Harrison, Bailey Bill at Carradine (NAF TAF). 7 month old Red brindle. Giving away 2 months in this class and very much a baby. Good mouth, nice eye and expression, would prefer a shorter foreface. Good topline and tailset, nicely balanced, best of coats. He wasn’t too happy on the move and didn’t settle to do the job in hand.

JD (1, 1) Absent

YD ( 3, 0)

1 Shannon & Storr’s, Brenndarcy Tinsoldat. 14 month old red in the best of coats. Good masculine head with correct eyes, ear placement and well defined stop. Nice length of neck, deep in brisket level topline, and good tailset. Well muscled quarters, moved well. He will have his day.

2 Day’s, Trekhilli Pepperazzi. 14 month old, very dark brindle, another in very good coat. He has a superb masculine head, deep brisket, level topline with a good tailset. He’s a little bit bigger all over than 1, which I do like, but he wasn’t as positive on the move as 1. Excellent showman.

3 Parker-Tucker’s, Uniquecottage Silver Askin.

PGD (5, 1)

1 Day’s, Trekhilli Pepperazzi (see above).

1. Parker-Tucker’s, Anjofra Roulette Russe, stood alone, Grey brindle, with masculine head and expression. Good length of neck flowing into correct shoulders. Good depth of rib, level topline, good tailset. Didn’t move as well as I know he can.

OD (9, 3)

1 Hughes & Hooton’s, Ch. Gyncairn Magical Mystery. The ring was his. Very eye catching wheaten, and really on his toes today. Strong masculine head with lovely expressive eyes, and neat dark ears. Well presented in good coat. Good forechest, and deep brisket, with good length of neck flowing into a spirit level topline, good tailset. Strong muscular quarters, which enabled him to go around the ring effortlessly. C.C. and BOB.

2 Weinberger’s, Correnie Hurricane Fly. Red brindle, good textured coat. Masculine head and expression. Very similar to 1, but he didn’t have the va, va, voom as 1 when he was moving around the ring. RCC

3. Kinton’s, Woodthorpe I know the Code.

1 Alexander’s Coharra Check Me Out. 10 month old dark brindle. Wow, what a little star with a head to die for.
