I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge at the Show.

Thankyou to the exhibitors for your support and to my steward Rita Cemis who did a sterling job single handed.

We were fortunate with the weather and had use of a large outdoor ring.

Has an impressive expression. Front assembly has good neck with lay to shoulders. Well boned throughout. Deep brisket with good spring to ribs. Strong thighs with hocks let down.

Irish Setter

Puppy 

Prangles Heathclare Faberge BP presented a beautiful picture with the sun shining on her rich coat. On the stack she stands her ground so well for a young pup. She has attitude which she showed when on the move. Good front and rear enabled her to cover the large ring easily and steadily. The setter is a stand out breed and should be balanced which she is. Good dark eye. Correct mouth and lips. Ears set low. Neck sits neatly with slight arch. Front construction pleasing. Good depth of bone. Liked the spring to her ribs. Rear well bent with good muscle. On the move she was free and driving from rear. Would like to see her when she is older as she is a good prospect. 

Much Astleyview Dazzeling Moon Unlucky to meet the winner. He is a smart baby with a glorious coat. At present he is a raw pup with a good outline. Well off for bone. On the stack he is balanced. Moving out he just needs to strengthen behind. Lovely expression with dark eyes.

Junior

Shepherds Casachared Mr Delaneys Son BOB. Another great prospect and only a youngster. He can only get better with age. Lovely to see plenty of bone with straight forelegs. Chest is deep, ribs well sprung with muscled loin. Firm straight topline which he held on the move. Powerful rear with desired width. Stifle well bent showing good hocks. On the move he puts no effort into his movement as he knows he can show off his action naturally. Good rear action. He has a masculine head with no coarseness at all. Beautiful eyes. Muzzle is correct. Brows raised. Ears set low. May I suggest in a positive way that he is run out with a longer stride by his handler .
