Critque - Judge Mary Davies

Thanks to the committee for the generous donation of glassware for the principle winners, and also thanks to the exhibiters for the lovely entry considering there were 2 other shows on nearby.

IRISH SETTER

Puppy (6)

1. Lewis`s   Deaconara Dance De Bleu Avec Dotcomsetter.
Very striking puppy dog, moved well coming and going and also in profile. Excellent head, eye and  ear set. Reachy neck, good shoulders, topline and tailset and carriage. Although he has a maturity about him with his lovely bone, was not overdone or over mature for his age. Should have a bright future, was given great consideration for higher honours. B.P in breed and then went 2nd in the puppy group. Congratultions.

2. Cohen`s   Brabrook Mastercraftsman with Shushana
3. Swainston`s   Glenvana Garbo

Junior  (4)

1. Butler`s   Gracewood Taken By Storm Rubymoon.
Different type to what I normally go for being a  heavily coated dog. Owner tends to overstretch him a bit, but he has a lovely eye, straight front, and neat feet.

2. Harts   Rappatty Romance.
3. Swainstons  Glenvarna Garbo

P.Grad  (10-1)

Had to send this class and the next out of the ring as space was very compromised. Very nice class.

1. Higgits  Tatsbro Firestone
Another heavily coated dog. Lovely angles fore and aft, good topline, tail set, neat feet and showing a well balanced outline with a gently sloping topline and in lovely condition. Preferred the head of the bitch in 2 but was not so good in front as this boy. BoB

2. Stevenson`s  Lochlorien Prime Suspect For Andley JW
3. Hopewell`s   Davsett Its Now or Never

Open  (11-3)

Another class of of lovely exhibits.

1. Hopewell`s   Davsett Little Eva. 
Although this bitch was lacking in coat she is a good honest sort. Lovely head, soft expression, with nice angulation front and rear. Res BoB.

2. Cohen`s   Caispern Vilette With Shushana JW ShCM another lovely dog just preferred the depth of muzzle on 1.
3. Butlers Covarney Wait and See Rubymoon
