Critique - Judge: Mr Bruno Fauvrelle (Fionnlugh)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the officers and the committee of this society for inviting me to judge, the stewards for their assistance, the exhibitors for entering and the privilege of going over their dogs. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
English Setter
Open (5,1abs)
1. Bridgewater, Davies & Jeffrey's - Brucelm Diamond Harry Rocks. Handsome boy with a pleasing head and eye. In good condition, well constructed throughout with good shoulder placement and return of upper arm. Good depth of rib, strong hindquarters which allowed him to move effortlessly . Very well presented hence BOB.
2. Saunders' - Shanandi Evening Star. A well proportioned bitch, pleasing head and expression. Lots to admire.
3. Lewis' - Tattersett Doctor At Large with Kegil
Gordon Setter
Puppy (7,1abs)
Hard class to assess since some of the younger ones gave their handlers a very hard time, difficult to judge when stacked and on the move.
1. Upton–Lovett & Upton's - Roydack Loves A Blazin. Very promising puppy bitch of six months with a lot of maturing to come. Good temperament for one so young, she was not fazed at all. Lovely head with good length of neck and shoulders. Nicely balanced throughout, very sound and positive on the move.
2. Butler's - Yennadon Fortes at Rubymoon. Heavier all through, lots to admire about him, just preferred the overall balance of 1.
3. Davidson's - Glenquest Irn Bru
Junior (2)
1. Seymour's - Pegasett Black N' Tantrum. An 8 months puppy bitch, well developed at this early age especially for this breed. Lovely head, kind eye and with a good reach of neck leading into well placed shoulders. Good spring of ribs, good front and nice rear angulations which allowed her to move soundly. BOB & BP
2. Butler's - Yennadon Fortes at Rubymoon
Irish Red and White Setter
Junior(3,1abs)
Two quality exhibits that could swap places any time, both were a joy to go over.
1. Horrocks' - Spiralwood Secret Love For Itchenwych. Loved the outline of this young lady, very eye catching and well presented. Pleasing head and eye, very feminine. Good angulations fore & aft with super width of thigh giving rear strength, enabling her to stride out and move impressively.
2. Lamb's - Casafelice Montadale, a well made dog with good front and rear assembly, nice shaped head and good spring of ribs. Just preferred 1 for her overall appearance.
Post Graduate(1,0)
1. Horrocks' - Spiralwood Secret Love for Itchenwych
Open (4,2abs)
1. Lamb's - Casafelice Askanian. Well constructed dog , nicely presented . Good head and skull very much in proportion to body. Deep chest, well sprung ribs with good front and rear quarters. Excellent coat condition and colour markings. Moved really well covering the ground with drive. BOB
2. Horrocks' - Spiralwood Secret Love For Itchenwych - Not much to choose between these two quality exhibits for BOB, very close decision.
Irish Setter
All four classes were not just numerically represented but were hotly contested and full of quality, very much spoilt for choice. Again thank you for entering which made my journey worth it.
Puppy (14,6abs)
Strong class with some promising youngsters to go over.
1. Sheldon's - Delsanto Snow Belle - Very promising 8 months bitch . Nice shaped head and stop, chiselling under soft, dark almond eye. Well balanced, everything fitted and flowed. Good angulations and strong quarters, very confident and steady happy mover. Pleased to award her BP.
2. Hyslop's - Gwendariff The Specialist - another quality youngster, good type, well balanced outline . Nice head ,clean neck and shoulders and body properties, should have a good future. Well handled and presented.
3. Luto's – Rappatty Excalibur
Junior (7,3abs)
1. Howatson's - Riverman Royal Rosa at Vanders. This young lady caught my eye as soon as she entered the ring . My find of the day, so stunning to look at from all angles and she combines elegance with substance. So well balanced, head feminine and refined with a lovely rich chestnut coat & feathering . Correct construction with good depth, topline and condition, Well developed quarters, which she used well on the move. Pleased to hear this win gave her her junior warrant.

1. Stevenson's - Lochlorien Prime Suspect For Andley JW - Standing, this bitch presented true elegance with substance.
