The Cairn Conversation!

A weekend of Cairn chat...

Location: The Green Drive Hall, 36 Green Drive, Inverness IV2 4EU

Dates: 14th & 15th September 2024

Programme:

I have kept the plans for our weekend purposely open, so we can chat about everything all weekend and not be tied to times...

We have a special treat for this weekend too... My mum, Rosemary Harrison, is joining us! Rosemary has spent over 60 years "in dogs" and her knowledge will be available all weekend too!

Saturday

09:00 arrive, light refreshments and biscuits

09:30 to lunch - grooming - handstripping & clipping, demonstrations of both, advice and discussions about both methods.

Nail trimming

General daily & weekly grooming

Lunch - bring your own food. Tea, coffee and water (and biscuits) supplied

Lunch to mid afternoon

Training demonstrations

Teaching your Cairn to sit, walking on the lead and any other training topics

Different activities with your Cairns... showing, rally, hoopers, agility, mantrailing, scent work and more

Breeding - lines & families, why look at a pedigree, health testing, choosing the right boy for your girl, managing your stud dog, puppies - from mating to sale...

Q&A If you have a question, then please email it to Dawn at [email protected].

Dawn can then prepare a full answer for you on the day.

Of course, questions will arise "on the day" and that's fine too 😊

The programme has deliberately been left "open"

I know there are a lot of Cairn owners in Scotland who may become interested in having puppies or using their boy at stud, and maybe thinking about which activity to get involved in... a broad programme means we can meander around and answer ALL of your questions...

Our day together finishes at 4.30, when we need to clean up and leave the hall for 5pm

Saturday evening

We can all meet at a local pub/restaurant (venue TBC) and continue our discussions over dinner

Sunday morning

We will meet for a walk with our dogs and again, Q&A's will continue with anything that you might have thought of overnight...😉

Our time together finishes around lunchtime which gives us time to get to the airport and fly home.

Cost is £60 per person

(You pay for your own meal on Saturday night)

If you would like to book a place email Dawn at [email protected]

Any questions, please ask

We found a Norwich outtake!! Where are you off to?!

Bottoms up from Capers 🤣

19/04/2024

Here's the next Norwich advert which features a photograph of Capers taken during a photoshoot with Rachel Maddox Photography!

We do have fun when we get together to take photos of the dogs! There are far less outtake photos of the Norwich for some reason 🤣 🤷‍♀️ Maybe it's because they're better at staying still...

16/04/2024

Dawn actually resorted to showing this one what she wanted them to do!! 🤣

15/04/2024

Continuing with our year book adverts, here's a page from the Norwich year book!

The Norwich have been a great addition to Kennel Carradine, and they are just wonderful little dogs to own!

The final post showing the last two pages from the Cairn year book adverts...

We just love the collage of images featuring some of our wonderful four legged friends 🥰

Huge thanks goes to Rachel Maddox Photography for the design of these, and for the photoshoot to get some of the images featured in the yearbooks too!!

"What's over there?!"

I'm not sure what it was, but something was more interesting than looking at the camera!

Following on from last week's post, here's another page from the Cairn yearbook!

Doin' what a terrier does! Diggin' for things!!

We had a wonderful day yesterday at National Terrier 2024!

The ring plan suggested that our 2 breeds might not clash but the adrenaline gods decided that we needed to be kept on our toes and a clash came our way...

Comet won his Puppy class, had competed for the CC (awarded to Lesley's Percy) and we were delighted when he was awarded the RCC by breed specialist, Christine Hitchin.

Then the Cairn judging started... Lenny was awarded 1st in Puppy by breed specialist Judge, Richard Rumens. I was being called from the ringside by Mum and Laura, who had dashed from the Norwich ring, we were required to compete for BPIB! Thank you to the Cairn ring steward Sharon for catching Lenny's lead as I dashed out of the ring to wake up a snoozing Comet and carry him back into the Norwich ring...

We were even more thrilled when Comet was awarded Best Puppy in Breed. Thank you Christine for your comments about Comet!

Back to the Cairns and Ninja was in the class after Lenny. Luckily Lucy was free, and she handled him to 2nd while I was doing a lap of honour with Comet😀.

Then Comet retired to his bed while the other Cairns were out and about. Apple and Arfa were in Open. Arfa was 5th and whilst Apple was unplaced, he put on a good performance.

Lenny was back in for the challenge and he won Best Pup dog.

We then had a little break as next up was Lilly in Open and she was placed 3rd!

The Cairn BOB was a dog I had judged in France back in September 2023! I loved him and still do! Well done Ruth and Cassandre!

Then it was back in with Lenny again, and not to be outdone by his kennel mate Comet, Lenny was also awarded Best Puppy in Breed!

Lesley and Percy carried the Norwich flag high and won BIS! Judge David Winsley not only awarded Percy BIS but he also gave Comet Puppy Group 4!

This is Comet's third show and only second with me handling him! Thank you to all our breed people for your lovely support and to both judges for thinking so highly of Comet!

Lucy showed Lenny in the competition for Best Puppy in Show and once Lenny settled he went really well.

This was a first for us, having 2 breeds in the puppy group!

That was yesterday and today Alice was showing Freya at the Griffon Club champ show where Freya won 3rd and a 4th! Well done ladies!

06/04/2024

Dawn and Rosemary are members of both Cairn and Norwich Terrier and Breed Clubs.

The breed clubs each produce annual year books with articles about each breed and summaries of the year's results. They also give members a chance to advertise their kennel's achievements.

Here's one of the adverts from the Cairn yearbook placed by Dawn and Rosemary.

The photoshoot was interesting and we will share some outtakes over the coming weeks too!!!

01/04/2024

Some show results from Lucy & Arfa and Alice & Freya!

At Whitehaven & District Canine Association on 17th March 2024. Lucy and Ch Carradine Arfa Pint won 1st Open & BOB Terrier and then on to win Group 2 under Judge Eddie Webster

Alice & Freya attended two shows in one day over the Easter break and won:-

GBBA CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW - Judge Espen Engh
Cilleine Quadrille Avec Carradine (Freya) won 3rd in Junior (qualifying for Crufts 2025) and Best Special Beginner
At the UK Toy Dog Champ show on the same day, they won
5th Junior and Best Special Beginner in Breed!

Well done both!

Our shows are National Terrier for the Cairns and the Norwich and Freya has a rest until Sunday!

Our trip to Scotland is now fully booked! Thank you so much for supporting us!

The good news is that we will be back in May... Look out for the dates which will be released soon!!

11/03/2024

We know everyone will be desperate to know how Team Carradine got on at so here's a quick results round-up:

Team Norwich

Comet, owned in partnership with his breeder, Lesley Crawley, won Puppy dog and then challenged his sister Nova, for Best Puppy and we were thrilled when Comet was awarded Best Puppy in Breed. Comet was also selected to compete for Best Male, a great honour, and although he wasn't awarded any further accolades from the judge, lots of ringside praise was passed his way.

Donald competed in the Junior class and won 1st place!

We then loaded all the Norwich kit up and made the trip down to Hall 1 for Team Cairns turn in the ring...

First up was Apple and he won Junior. Linda then showed Ninja, handling at her first ever Crufts, and they were placed 3rd in Post Graduate!
A massive class of 19 Cairns were entered in Open dog. There were 16 present! Arfa put his best foot forward and shown by his owner Lucy, he was placed 3rd. He was only beaten by the Best male and 2nd best male so to say we are pleased, is an under statement! We are thrilled!!!!

Then the girls... Margot stood alone in puppy, she won 1st 😀and Lilly was placed 3rd in Junior.

And last but not least was Boris who came 5th in Limit! This was a special show for Boris as it was his final one. After his achievement, he had a retirement party with cakes and sausage rolls and a lovely time was had by all! Boris has had a fabulous show career with Jane who has learnt to hand-strip him herself and she does a great job at it too! We'll be seeing more of Jane at the shows this year so watch this space...

It's as simple as that!!

Our 2-hour Introduction to Nail Clipping course is aimed at those wishing to maintain the length of their dog's nails at home. This introductory course will include the anatomy of the leg, paw, and nail, handling and behaviour during nail clipping, equipment use, and practical instruction on how to clip a dog's nails.

You will get the chance to try out your new skills with one of the tutor’s dogs! But this is NOT compulsory.

Feedback from the first course...

Susan said "I am so glad that I came along, Dawn has really given me the confidence to "have a go" at home"

Chris said "thank you so much, I thought nail clipping was grab the dog and chop, now I know differently, now I will make friends with the nail clippers and my dog before I even start to chop with the clippers"

Another attendee said "Dawn gave us so much information and it was fun too, I want to do it again"

We haven't shared much about our Monday filming sessions recently, but we're still busy putting everything together... you'll FINALLY get to see what we've been up to in September, but for now, here's a short outtake from one of our sessions!

The puppies went to the pet store! They saw fishes, guinea pigs, rabbits and even another dog!

We’re busy ‘behind the scenes’ at DCI HQ at the moment, but can you guess what we’re up to?? Here’s Pumpkin helping us clear up this morning!! 🤣 Royalty free music from https://www.FesliyanStudios.com

After show time, now it’s play time!!🐶🐶

❤️North Of Ireland Cairn Terrier Championship Show!❤️

💙💙Round up of Belfast Championship Dog Show!!💙💙

This is the post groom Cairn

you can see the new coat underneath the old and it hanging in chunks

this is the "after" picture. nice and short. This owner likes a scruffy finish. So we don't go really tight to the body. I have always worked (for over 30 years) with customers to find the happy medium between what their dog will accept with regards to hs and what the owner wants. The dog is top priority!

this shows the places where you can see the new coat underneath. I don't even need to touch this coat to know that it can be rolled, the evidence is there for my eye to see and "know" that the top coat, which is longer and slightly lighter is ready to hs out to create a beautiful rolling coat

Catch up time!! We realised on our way home from Blackpool show that we have missed posting about the last few shows we’ve been to, so this is a quick summery! Three Counties - Judge Sharon Confue Arfa (2nd) Ness’s Howard (3rd) Lilly (1st) and Pumpkin (3rd) SWWECTC - Judge Alison Waites Arfa and Pumpkin had a sibling show down after both won best dog and best bitch. Arfa went on to win Best In Show with his sister being awarded Reserve Best In Show! Further results were: Ninja (1st) Jane’s Boris (3rd but also 1st & best special beginner) Lilly (2nd) Wilma (2nd) Royal Cheshire Show - Judge Josephine Pinfold The tables turned!! Showdown round 2!! Arfa and Pumpkin both awarded best of sex! But Pumpkin took the lead winning Best Of Breed and Arfa winning reserve best of breed! Lilly won her class, along with best puppy in breed! She also went on to win Puppy Group 3 under judge Howard Ogden! Capers our Norwich also was awarded Best of Breed! The fun didn’t stop there as they also held a companion dog show! Ninja - 3rd AV Terrier George - 1st Veteran - BEST NOVETY IN SHOW! Irene - 3rd Vintage Class! Our 14yr old girl enjoyed her two days away, wobbling her stuff around the ring, basking in the sun and eating ice cream! Oscar - 2nd Judge would like to take home! Arfa - 1st Most Handsome Boy And that’s a wrap for now! We are now hitting full time show season with shows every week up and down the country! Watch out for our next post as we are off to Windsor on Thursday!
