Irish Setters

Puppy – 3 (2a)

1 Pullen’s – Brinara Back for Good

9 month puppy and still very raw at this stage, pleasant head and expression, good straight front and depth to chest.  Good rib, good over the croup, strong quarters, moved steady for a youngster BP and PG4 Well Done

Junior – 8 (1a)

1 Kennedy’s – Glennara Coer De Lion

Loved the head and expression on this boy, lovely raised brow and good finish to foreface, good angulations fore and aft, good depth to chest and spring of rib, good topline which he held on the move, moved well.

2 Harris’s – Konakakela Suede’s Spirit

Lovely boy, melting expression, good topline and spring of rib, plenty of bone, nice overall shape, just lost out to the first on front movement.

3 Barnes’s – Highclare Enchanted   

Graduate – 11 (3a)

1 Waterton’s – Lynwood Kissed by an Angel at Sandstream JW

I have judged this bitch before and my opinion of her has not changed.  She is maturing nicely and is fulfilling her potential.  Exquisite head, good length to neck leading into the best of fronts with excellent upper arm angulation, good body proportions, strong over the quarters, good width to second thigh, excellent bend of stifle, not over exaggerated in anyway, love her. BOB and G3 Well Done

2 Murray & Berry’s - Harvancourt Capello

Just my type of boy, loved his head and expression, very substantial, good straight front, good depth to chest and spring of rib, good topline which he held on the move, good bend of stifle, moved well off short rear pasterns, just lost out to the winner on upper arm angulation.

3 Kennedy’s – Glennara Coer De Lion

Open – 6 (3a)

1 Kennedy’s – Glennara Coer De Lion

Repeat from Junior

2 Barnes’s – Highclare Catchfly1

Sweet bitch with a lovely expression, good angulation fore and aft, nice topline, however a little heavy over the shoulders, which made her look slightly unbalanced, moved well off strong quarters.
