GLEN OF IMAAL CRUFTS 11 Glen of Imaal Terrier Judge(s): MR H O'DONOGHUE Glen of Imaal Terriers 1 White’s Abberann Karl, nice type & size, good head, neck & shoulders, in good body condition, attractive & showy, moves well for his age. Coat not at its best. Should have a nice future; 2 Fraser’s Kirikee Celtic Worrior, slightly bigger, nice head & expression, good coat & body condition. Moves freely, but not accurately; 3 Quinns’ Kirikee Ronan O Gara, a reasonable type. Not in the best condition for showing. Decent head & expression. Not moving well, needs time. J (4) 1 Welchs’ Romainville Brannigan at Brockland, ice type, good head, nice neck & shoulder, good body condition, nice length & temperament, nice mover, nice bone, nice coat, well handled; 2 Whites’ Abberann Torcan, nice head, neck, shoulders, size & length. Needs a better coat. Moves OK, but a little straight in stifle; 3 Briscoe’s Abberann Special Edition for Belwood, little brother to Torcan, masculine dog with a good head, neck, shoulder & front, good depth of body, good temperament. Needs a complete new coat & better presentation, then he should do well. PGD (4) 1 Barnes’ Brockland Balacadder at Malsville, average head, nice neck & shoulder, nice bone & substance, nice size. Bit straight in stifle. Prefer more accurate movement. A little disinterested; 2 Horton’s Jeonty Highlander Boy, nice head, neck & shoulders, in good body condition. Needs a better coat & moves very close behind; 3 Hardys’ Amhard Freebooter, a reasonable type with an average head & expression. Needs a much better coat & better presentation. Not moving accurately. LD (4) 1 Rogers’ Jeonty Wanabee Baner, perhaps could have a more powerful head, but it was a nice type. Very good neck & shoulders, nice front, good hindquarters, nice topline & tailset, moves well in front & rear, very well presented & handled; 2 Garner’s Johnny Bee Good at Romainville, very nice dog, in superb coat & condition, good head, neck & shoulders, good front & rearend, good topline & tailset. Would not show well & did not help his handler. A pity, as I liked him a lot; 3 Ashcroft’s Romainville Typhoon, a reasonable head, neck & shoulder, good body condition. Not moving accurately. OD 1 White’s Ch/Ir/Am/Sw Ch Abberann Conan, a top class dog in every respect, great head, good neck, shoulders & front, excellent body condition, big hindquarters, good angulation, big bone, good topline & tailset, super temperament & a great mover, uses his hocks. CC & BOB; 2 Welchs’ Ch/Int Ch Brockland Brayhead Lad, top class dog in excellent condition, good head, neck & shoulder, nice coat & body condition, nice temperament. A little straight in stifle. Good bone & substance. Has not got as good a topline or tailset as 1 & is not as good or as true a mover behind as 1. Still a very good dog. RCC; 3 Smiths’ Romainville Bodhran, a reasonable head, neck & shoulder, in fair coat & body condition. Not showing well & not moving accurately. GCD (2) 1 Fraser’s Kirikee Just Follow Seamus, at 12 years enjoying his day out, nice head & expression, nice body condition, a credit to his owner for keeping him in such condition; 2 Barnaby’s Kenoctos Chiefs Song, average head, neck & shoulders, in good body condition. Prefer a better topline & tailset. Not moving well. VB (1) 1 Sealls’ Brockland Merrylegs for Bregorry, nice type with much to like, very short in coat. Not showing or moving well. PB (1) 1 Rogers’ Winnie Wanna Make Music by Jeonty, nice type, nice feminine head, good neck & shoulders, nice coat & condition, good mover, shows very well, lovely temperament. JB 1 Whitehouse & McBrine’s Romainville Tigan, very feminine, has most of the essentials. Needs much better presentation & ring training. Will benefit from maturity. PGB 1 Sages’ Jeonty Lola May at Wickholm, good head & expression, nice neck & shoulder, good bone & substance, nice temperament, nice topline & tailset, shows well & moves freely; 2 Whitehouse & McBrines’ Romainville Tigan; 3 Smith’s Grizzlemarsh Dor, a reasonable type. Needs better condition & a better coat. Not moving well. LB (3) 1 George & Sullivans’ Romainville Alley Oop, average head & expression, in good body condition, nice depth, nice length & size. Prefer a better topline & tailset & better movement; 2 Allermoms’ Emerldir Princess Astrid at Glenwellieka, 8 years, in good body condition, decent coat. Not showing well, but moves freely. OB 1 White’s Ch/Ir Ch Abberann Ennya, top quality bitch in lovely form, great head, neck & shoulders, good body condition, nice coat, good topline & tailset, super mover. I found it very difficult to choose between her & her brother for BOB as both are top class specimens. In the end I gave the nod to her brother. CC; 2 Sealls’ Brocklands Belle Bregorrey, very nice bitch with a good feminine head, good neck & shoulder. Good coat, although a little short. Moves freely, but not as accurately as 1. Shows well.
