Critiques

Cairn Terrier Association Minor Puppy

Hogarty’s Cadagio As Good As It Gets

Silver/grey, well grown, very good puppy, lovely head, nice eyes, very sound movement, good alert cheeky look, stands well, good firm back, nice tail caried correctly, good hindquarters, very sound movement. Think he was my BP but could not stay to compete as they had to catch the boat.   Judge Judy Parker Tucker (Uniquecottage)

 

DCC, Best Puppy and B.I.S.  North or Ireland Carin Terrier Club Show 

Hogarty’s Cadagio As Good As It Gets

It was not a light decision to give a puppy such high honours but he fulfilled all the requirements I was looking for in a top quality cairn. Gorgeous head, this 11 month old silver brindle had that mischievous wicked expression that is so lacking in many cairns at the moment, good big teeth, excellent length of neck flowing into lovely clean shoulders, level topline and good tailset, ideal size, positive mover who keeps his lovely outline on the move or standing, has personality plus and demands to be looked at.  Judge Yvonne Catto (Birselaw) 

 

Crufts Special Puppy Dog

 Mrs M Hogarty’s  CADAGIO AS GOOD AS IT GETS

11mths   light red brindle, very good head and expression very much like his sire, Good overall balance, well constructed front. strong quarters, moving with plenty of drive and keeping his shape while moving. Should go far. Judge Jim Jeffrey (Sandaig)

Hogarty's Ir. Ch. Cadagio As Good As It Gets.

Stunning silver/br. of the highest quality.  Most beautiful head with twinkling, mischievous eyes. Well sprung ribs, excellent legs and feet, well muscled quarters, perfect outline and his handler got the very best out of him as he showed non-stop and moved faultlessly to gain the CC.  I was told afterwards that this was his second CC so, fingers crossed, I hope his third will not be long delayed.  Judge Bill Camish (Camcairn)

There is no mistaking this youngster is all male. Lovely head and expression, good neck & shoulders, nice spring of rib, level topline tail on top. Moved with drive never put a foot wrong, presented in a rugged coat of good quality, had the edge over the Junior with his extra maturity and finish. CC  Judge Ian Shaw (Honeyhall)
