Three Counties Agricultural Society

Three Counties Championship Show (5th June 2026)

 Cairn Terriers

Thank you for the invitation to judge at this show

I enjoyed my day

The weather was warm and sunny but not too hot so judging was held outdoors

I found many coats at an inbetween stage which affected placings.

Mouths in general were good. Most had clean teeth

I don’t like tails to be held up when showing, this is becoming a regular occurance

Movement is not improving. On the table some looked good but disappointed going round the ring.

I found some very good typical Cairn heads with good expressions and temperatments in general were favourable
