Irish Setter Club Of Wales

Irish Setter Club of Wales Many thanks to the officers and committee for the appointment and prior support. I enjoyed my day immensely and many thanks to all that entered at my first appointment in this breed. Well done to the committee for running 2 ch shows on the same day and the hard work that obviously went into organising them. Presentation was of a good standard for many, a few would benefit from a bit more coat care and certainly many would benefit from some free running exercise as hard muscle tone was lacking in many. MPB (4) 1. Turner’s Dazycutter Thegirlisonfire. I preferred the overall balance and substance at this stage. Pretty, feminine balanced head proportions with a correct eye and set ear. Good straight forearm and well placed shoulder, good depth of brisket and correct rib. Gently sloping topline. Movement needs to firm up, very gangly at this point. 2. Bryant’s Dazycutter Crownedbyfire. Not quite the substance and frame at the moment of 1st. Very raw youngster. Well boned with correct straight forearm, good level topline and well ribbed back. Good bend of stifle and well let down. Not quite as balance in the head yet, but full of femininity. Just needs to steady on the move, which I’m sure will come with time. 3. Mutch’s Astleyview Dazzeling Moon PB (6,2) 1. Sketchley’s Sametsuz So To Speak, BPB, BPIS. A promising youngster full of breed type. Feminine head with a lovely eye and expression. Good length and balanced proportions. Slight arch to neck and good length. Would like a slight better return of upper arm. Good straight forearm with small feet and plenty of bone without coarseness. Good depth of brisket to elbow and well ribbed back and well sprung. Gently sloping topline. Plenty of width to the hind end with correctly set tail. Good bend of stifle and well let down behind, moved well both ways. Good coat condition and well conditioned. 2. Prangle’s Heathclare Faberge. Not quite the rear movement of 1st. Plenty of substance with good depth of brisket, well sprung rib and arched loin. Feminine pleasing head and expression. Slight arch to neck, straight forearm, nice small well arched feet. Not quite as balanced a picture as 1st. 3. Stevenson’s Gwendariff Cracklin Rosie For Lochlorien (IKC) VetB. (9,2) 1. Catling’s Sh Ch Teleri Indian Summer (AI) JW. CC, RBIS, BVIS. I’ve liked this bitch from outside of the ring for quite a while now. So elegant and full of quality on the move with a lot of style and keeps a balanced make and shape. Shown in good condition with a deep chestnut colour to the coat and shine. Straight forearm and good bone, goo depth of chest and rather narrow in front. Well ribbed, correctly sprung and with a strong loin, gently sloping topline into a well constructed rear end, good bend of stifle and well let down with good short hock.

Won on substance and maturity today. Good make and shape and well balanced. Correct gently sloping topline with good spring of rib and well back. Good depth of brisket, straight forearm and small feet. Correct front. Head needs to break, but should come with maturity. The most composed on the move, some reach and drive from a well constructed rear. 4. Walsh & Neill & Ellrich’s Gwendariff Greta Garbo (IKC). Not quite the quality and substance of 1st. Needs to mature and drop into herself. Good depth of brisket, correct topline, well constructed rear end, will let down hock. Well arched long neck. Straight forearm with good bone and small feet. Good rear angulation and moved well enough both ways. 2. Hopewell & Greenan’s Riverwood X Written In The Stars JW (IMP BEL) YB (4) 1. Roberts Polmennor Pandora JW. I preferred the overall make and shape of this bitch compared to the others. Racy in outline. Pleasing head and expression with good kind eye and correct shape. Like a slightly better return of upper arm, correct gently sloping topline, carried through to a correct tailset and well made rear. Moved well away with good tail carriage. 2.

A really interesting class to judge with 11 champions in it. I felt this bitch won out, in a couple of areas. I preferred her through her neck and shoulders, cleaner with a better return of upper arm. Plus I felt she kept a more balanced outline on the move in profile. It was nice to go over one in such good hard muscle condition. Well balanced feminine head, with well set unshelled almond eye, good length and lean with pronounced occipital. Flows from the crest of the neck to the tail with no corners. Super bone and feet with straight forearm, well sprung rib and depth of brisket and well arched loin.
