Irish Setters

Puppy 4(2abs)

1st McDonald’s Quensha Galway Girl BP

Liked the overall quality of this puppy, lovely lean head with good proportions, good reach of neck, well placed shoulders, slight slope to topline, good bone & feet. A bit unsure but moved ok when settled.

2nd Bielecka’s Yokohama Lofty NAF#

Presented a balanced picture when stacked, pleasing head & head expression, good reach of neck, level topline, well developed quarters, would prefer a slightly flatter coat texture, moved ok.

Junior (2)

1st Hardy’s Cafotaliena Joker and Queen

Lovely quality youngster, lovely masculine head, good proportions, slight slope to topline with good tail set and carriage, well developed quarters. Moved well.

2nd Hardy’s Cafotliena She’s on Fire

Pretty girl but just preferred overall balance of winner, nice lean head with good propoertions, good reach of neck, slightly sloped topline but tended to drop away over the croup which just spoilt her outline, well developed quarters, moved ok.

Post Graduate (3,1abs)

1st Corless Swiftlark Illustrious JW RBOB

Super quality girl who had such super balance, to be critical I would prefer a slightly longer head, but liked her eye colour and expression, good reach of neck with slight arch, well placed shoulders, excels in topline, strong but with slight slop, well developed quarters, in super coat and condition, moved well. She didn’t quite perform in the challenge with her change of handler.

2nd Walker’s Glenvarna My Girl

Liked the overall type of this girl, liked her head proportions and expression, good reach of neck, well placed shoulders, good topline, well developed quarters. Moved ok but was a bit flat footed and wasn’t concentrating today.

Open (3,1abs)

1st Corless Swiftlark Spellbinder BOB

This quality boy caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring, he looked in gleaming coat and condition when stacked and was not a disappointment to go over. Liked his long lean masculine head, good eye colour and expression. Good reach of neck with slight archm well placed shoudlers, good firm topline with slight slope, good bone and feet, well developed quarters with good muscletone. Moved really well and was delighted to award him BOB

2nd Walker’s Thendara Soul Sister

Pretty girl who was built on slightly finer lines, a nice head although a fraction narrow in muzzle for my taste, good reack of neck, good topline, well developed quarters. Moved ok

1st Hodson Rowancurl Gentle Gaelor BOB

This dog impressed me when he entered the ring with his overall quality and balance. Correct head shape, pleasing expression and good dark eye. Good reach of neck into well laid back shoulders. Level top line. Good moderate bend of stifle. Excellent compact feet. Good coat of tight crisp curls. Moved well

2nd Dooley Rowancurl Pullman Porter

Really liked the head on this dog, correct shape with good eye colour and expression, he had good reach of neck, good topline, a fraction deep in brisket and not quite the angulation of the winner which just didn’t give him the balance. Moved ok

Correct wedge shape head with good eye colour and expression, strong neck, well placed shoulders, level topline, well developed quarters, good bone, a bit erractic on the move.

Such a quality young lady, presented in super coat and condition, such lovely outline both in standing and on the move. Pretty feminine, moulded head with a dark eye.

2nd Perry’s Glenturret Bumbleberry Pie for Casanjay BP

Liked the outline of this liver, not too heavy, good reach of neck, well placed shoulders, level topline, well developed quarters, good bone. A fraction untidy in front movement but should tighten with maturity. Moved well in profile.

Lovely female unlucky to meet the winner, liked her overall balance and outline, lovely moulded head, good reach of neck, well placed shoulders, level topline, good bone and feet, well developed quarters, in good coat and condition but just preferred the reach of the winner on the final move round.
