Breed: Irish Setter

PD/B: 1 entry (1 abs)

JD/B: 2 entries (1 abs)

1. 76, COLE, Mrs S, RIVERBRUE OPHELIA BOBBY (D)

Lovely youngster with racy head and outline. Good, deep chest from well set shoulders. Neat feet from straight, well-boned forelegs. Rich chestnut coat with good feathers for age. When moving forward, had an exuberant but free flowing gait. Just needs to settle more in the ring.

PGD/B: 5 entries ( 2 abs)

1. 80, MILLER, Mr L, SHUDORARED AMOR DILLION (D)

This dog’s coat stood out from entry to the ring; rich in colour and straight. Very expressive head leading to deep chest with well-boned forelegs and neat, firm toes. Moved well with purpose, free-flowing and straight. Went RBOB.

2. 76, COLE, Mrs S, RIVERBRUE OPHELIA BOBBY (D)

As above. This youngster had settled much more in this class and showed how well he can move when concentrating.

3, 81, WALKER, Mrs H B, GLENVARNA MY GIRL (B)

OD/B: 3 entries (1 abs)

1. 75, ASHLEY-TURNER, Mrs A, JONOLA MOONSHINE (D)

This boy stood out as he entered the ring. Kind, expressive eye, with beautiful but strong and racy head. Muscular neck leads to strong shoulders and straight forelegs with firm, neat feet. Well sprung ribs to a rear that is powerful so helping him move forward freely around the ring. Went BOB.

2, 82, WALKER, Mrs H B, THENDARA SOUL SISTER (B)

Smaller more petite feminine frame than 1 with a very pretty head. Lovely neck into strong, sloping topline to tail. Good bone to neat feet. Would prefer a more forward, freer movement from rear.
