I sincerely thank you for the visit to see your Cairns and the wonderful entry you received for myself and co-judge Mrs M Shriver.
All exhibitors can be proud of their achievements with their Cairn Terriers. They have very good heads with a good stop, neat ears and lovely expressions. Good free striding movement and most have a good, hard, firm muscle tone. Maybe length of leg is a little different between our countries, but only slightly in a few exhibits. I was very impressed with the high standard of Cairn Terriers in all the classes. Thank you for the privilege of handling them. They are splendid! It was a wonderful entry; my placing are as follows:
