IRISH JUDGE BELFAST 08

Irish Terriers

I would express some doubts about the direction heads are taking; too many full cheeks, rounded skulls & low earsets.

PD (1)

1 Pratt’s Terrijay Special Brew, very well balanced dog, weight evenly placed, good head, eyes & mouth, reasonable ear placement, nice neck, topline, set-on, angulation, moved well, in good coat, nice feet. BP.

JD (2)

1 Seabridge’s Kerrykeel Wounded Knee at Sujoncla, nice dog of balance & shape, good neck, topline & set-on, well angulated, moved soundly, in good coat, liked his foreface, eyes, mouth & ears;

2 O’Reilly’s Cilradharc Dian Cecht, too much of a good thing. Scored in head, good neck, topline, set-on, angles & hind action.

PGD (3)

1 Hackett’s Bridgeways Rough And Ready, the more you look the better you like him, stands on his own completely balanced, nice neck, topline. Set-on could be higher. Good angulation & well muscled, sound as they come, good head, eyes, mouth & expression;

2 Davis’ Bensheir Kane, good typical fellow, well balanced, good neck, topline & set-on, neat & tidy on the move; 3 Atwell’s Montelle Mr Sandman at Xanwil.

LD (3)

1 Anderson’s Kerrykeel Ronan, well here I am, a real Irish Terrier, not a singer! Very good head, eyes, mouth & expression, clean neck, good topline & set-on, well angulated & sound. Yes graceful racy, outline he has yet plenty of substance. CC;

2 Bradley’s Brilliant Mr Sirius at Montelle, nice dog in pleasing order, good neck, topline, set-on & angulation, moved well, well balanced profile, good head, liked his eyes, ears, mouth & foreface;

3 Cooke’s Lionwood Rowanberry.

OD (4)
