Irish Red and White Setters


I would like to thank the committee and exhibitors for the opportunity to judge my favourite breed and hope you all enjoyed your day as much as I did.


Veteran Dog. 1 Entry 

Jakins. Sh Ch Int Ch Multi Ch Terne Des Coris Qalimero at Coolfin Jw (Import Bel)

I judged this dog as a puppy and thought then that he showed a lot of promise. Now a Veteran and turned into a handsome gentleman. Lovely head with a melting expression, good dark eye and well set ears. Well laid shoulders into a level topping. Nice rear angles which he makes full use of, striding out with reach and drive.

RDCC and BV.


Puppy dog 1 Entry.

Hart's. Gilliegrae So Berry Excited.

A very handsome puppy who gave an eye catching outline. Very typical head with lovely dark eye and correct shape to skull. Well off for forechest which is good to see as some are lacking in recent years. Good shoulder placement and well ribbed. Ample bend of stifle and holds a level topline on the move. Moved out well and im sure this dog will have a bright future.

Post Grad Dog 1 Entry.

Martin and Green Rhowendale Game is on Again for Viszaset (Imp Fin)

For me this Dog stood out as he entered the ring. Presented in good coat and condition. Very pleasing head and expression, good forechest and well laid shoulders with good length of upper arm. Nice tight feet and and good rear angles. Moved out well with good reach and intune with his handler. Im sure it won't be long before this dog gains his title.

DCC BOB.

Catton Cook and Jakins. Coolfin Clancy with Ferngate

Another smart dog in outline. Masculine head with well set ears and nice arch of neck into good shoulder placement. Good angles throughout and lovely tailset. Moved well covering the ground with ease.

1.Ponsford. Clonaghadoo Felicity 

Young bitch who is fine in head and build. Presented in good clean condition and stood well. Moved ok but think dog and handler would gain from time and patience. BSB

2.Webber. Clonaghadoo Fantasia 

Litter sister to 1 who moved ok but unfortunately wouldn't allow me to go over her to assess her conformation.

2. O'Kelly and Hancock Coolfin Ecstacy of Gold at Caradilis.

Litter sister to 1 and again very feminine head and lovely eye. Level topline and well angled both front and rear. Moved out well. Her litter sister just had the edge for me today but sure on another day they will change places.

1.Barney Romaunt Ain't Misbehaven 

Lovely bitch who stood out today even though she left her coat at home. Even without coat I couldn't deny the quality of her conformation. Feminine head with good head shape and well laid shoulders into level back with good tailset giving an overall picture of a well balanced outline.

Moved well making good use of both front and rear angles.
