Minor Puppy Dog (3)

1. Carradine Bright Cider Life

Six months old, very smart dog, a little longer than tall and with enough length of leg for balance. Expressive head with correct size for a puppy, but with skull yet to develop. Excellent ears. Strong neck. Firm topline. Well set tail. Balanced angulation both ends. Very good top coat, but needs to develop some more underwool. Sound, positive mover.

2. Tycadno Shining Star Around Macmoon

At eight months of age, this dog has good length of leg and a firm topline. Not quite the front angulation nor the body volume of the winner. Excellent expression. Pleasing rise of neck. Well set and carried tail. Very good coat. Pleasing mover.

3. Carradine All Ways A Chance

Puppy Dog (2)

1. Castleline Lucas of Macantsaoir

At nine months old, this dog is fully grown into his proportions and has an attractive outline with pleasing length of leg and a corresponding body length. Masculine head with a pleasing furrow and enough width of skull for his age. Excellent ears. Good rise of neck. Firm topline. Good tailset. Pleasing coat quality and movement.

2. Carradine All Ways A Chance

Strong, masculine seven months old puppy, yet to grow enough length of leg for balance. Attractive head. Strong neck. Very good front angulation. Puppyish in his body shape and needs to raise his front in movement. Very pleasing coat quality.

Junior Dog (3)

1. Carradine My Way Lenny

At eight months old, this dog has very pleasing balance, proportions and outline. Head under development, but with a proper size. Very good ears, excellent expression. Excellent neck into shoulders. Firm topline, very pleasing tailset. Good coat. Moved with enthusiasm and balance.

2. Sanderfield On The Rocks for Cherrycrack

Thirteen months old, very masculine dog, bordering on coarse. Excellent skull. Balanced angulation both ends. In a full body. Very good topline when standing, but tending to lose his balance when pulling on the leash. Very pleasing coat quality.

Post Graduate Dog (2)

 Two very different dogs, scoring in different traits.

1. Macantsaoir Celtic Warrior

Tall dog, two years old, he looked his best in movement as his topline is much more pleasing moving than standing. Masculine head, good furrow and pleasing width of skull, well placed ears. Very good neck. Tail could be better set. Very good quality of coat. Smart mover from the side, but could perfect his front movement.

2. Tycadno Magic Man

Masculine dog, shorter on legs. Very pleasing head, but his ears are too wide-set. Good rise of neck. Topline could be smarter, needs more volume to his body. Moved well from the side, but another who could perfect his front movement.

Limit Dog (2)

 Two very attractive dogs, if excelling in different qualities.

1. Pendley Seafarer

A dog with lovely outline and proportions. Typical head, large enough, but with a good width of skull. Very good ears. Excellent rise of neck. Moderately angulated in front. Excellent topline and tailset. A bit in between coats, but with more than enough to assess his good coat quality. A sound, positive, no nonsense mover, when concentrating keeping his balance beautifully. In sum an excellent representative of his breed and sex. CC & BOB

2. Carradine Apple Jack

Another very attractive dog, stronger in the bone than the winner. Excellent width of skull, rather wide-set ears. Strong neck of moderate length. Firm topline. Tail could be higher set. Excellent coat quality. Sound and purposeful mover. resCC

Open Dog (4,1)

1. Glenrood Galaxy At Tribannon

A tall, masculine dog, I would not want him any larger than this. Strong skull, good ears. Keen expression. Long neck. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Coat is in need of a tighter trim. He is a very positive mover from all angles.

2. Ch.Carradine Arfa Pint JW

Obviously a quality dog, he is very good to go over. Typical head with very good ears. Well set neck into a firm topline. Well set and carried tail. For me he does have enough length of leg for optimal balance. A sound, positive mover. Very well presented and handled.

3. Uniquecottage Grey Borage

Veteran Dog (1)

1. Birselaw Come Dancing With Macmoon

Seven year old, masculine dog with enough length of leg. Masculine head with a pleasing skull. Could make better use of his ears. Moderate neck, well set. Well angulated in front. Firm topline, but needs more width over the loin. Well set tail. Well angulated behind. A normal, sound mover. Best Veteran

Minor Puppy Bitch (3,1)

1. Tycadno Winter Star

At eight months old, this bitch is quite mature for her age. Fairly developed head with good width of skull and small, well set ears. Pleasing neck into shoulder. I would not want her to be any longer in body. Very good coat. Sound mover. Best Puppy

2. Lindcoly Times of Trouble

Six months old and very much a baby. She looked really good in profile on the table. Her head has a long way to go to develop width of skull and more strength of muzzle. Very good topline and tailset. Very puppyish in movement at this time.

Puppy Bitch (3,2)

1. Lindcoly Times of Trouble

Junior Bitch (1)

1. Lindcoly Singing Angela

Feminine bitch, at this stage very much a teenager. Her head has quite a lot of maturing to do in width of skull and muzzle. Large ears. Pleasing rise of neck. Rather shallow in body. Quite pleasing tailset. Very good coat quality. Moved with ease and light on her feet.

Post Graduate Bitch (4,1)

1. Dazzle Me At Tribannon

A feminine bitch with very attractive proportions and excellent length of leg. Attractive feminine head. Could make better use of her ears. Attractive neck of good length and well set into a firm topline. Well set tail. Well angulated behind. Pleasing top coat. Moved with style.

2. Birselaw Floran Dancer of Uniquecottage

Feminine bitch with enough length of leg and somewhat lengthy in her back, still kept her topline well at all times. Typical head, pleasing ears. Moderate neck and front angulation. Excellent coat, very well trimmed. Normal sound mover, but could use her neck to more advantage on the move.

3. Lindcoly Here Comes Oh Shi

Limit Bitch (3,1)

1. Lindcoly Picture Perfect

Quite an eye-catching and smart bitch with a pleasing outline and balance. Feminine head, which could be somewhat stronger. Pleasing ears, used to her advantage. Well set neck into topline. Well set and carried tail. Pleasing coat. Moved quite well from all angles. resCC

2. Wandris Please Yourself JW

Feminine bitch with an excellent expression. Rather thin in neck and straight in upper arm. Excellent coat quality, very well trimmed. Used her legs well when moving, but tended to be high behind in her balance on the move.

Open Bitch (5,2)

1. Ch. Glory Daze At Tribannon

A very typical cairn bitch with excellent proportions, well up on legs and with a corresponding body length. Typical, feminine head with a keen expression. Good rise of neck into a firm topline and a very good tailset – in all making a very attractive outline. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. In a harsh coat of ample amount. She moved cleanly coming and going and kept her balance very well, but I would have preferred some more drive. CC

2. Carradine Picadd Lilly

A really good moving bitch, sound and energetic. For my preference she is too cobby in her body. Attractive, feminine head. Strong neck. Deep and capacious body. Firm topline. Pleasing tail. Very well trimmed. Probably the best mover of them all today.

3. Lindcoly Ocean Dream
