IRISH JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 18

PD

1 Blower's Turith Adonis. A quality young dog, long lean head, well placed ears, good dark eye which gives him a keen expression, fair reach of neck, he has a deep body, strong quarters, good bone and compact feet. Correct harsh coat that was well presented, moved freely, Best Puppy, not disgraced standing third in Junior, I thought that those placed above him were a touch more mature but one destined for the upper house.

2 Cooke's Montelle Look Of Gold. Another one with promise, also 11 months of age, not quite as forward or settled as the winner, typical in outline, pleasing head and body, good coat and condition.

JD

1 Averis, Barker & Hardman's Red Lucifer At Bonosue. This young dog was most impressive, his head is of good length, small dark eye, correctly placed ears, keen expression, good round bone with small compact feet, liked his make and shape, a harsh coat with excellent presentation, strong quarters, moved freely though at times tended to pace, pleased to award him the CC, his second I was told later.

2 Thomas' Lead The Way To Montelle. Another outstanding example with many fine attributes, typical racy outline, well made through out, he pushed the winner all the way, he was a touch unsettled on the move in the class, however, in the challenge moved straight and with purpose. RDCC.

3 Turith Adonis.
PGD 1 Bowers' Lakeridge Riordan. An alert dog with a ground covering stance, admirable racy outline, possibly a touch up to size, well placed ears, keen masculine expression, neck of fair length, well laid shoulders, deep body, good tailset, well handled and presented. 2 Simons' Saredon Red Berry. Typical in outline, not the presence of the winner, straight front, pleasing in body.

OD

1 Bamsey's Ch Holbam Celtic Warrior. A quality dog to go over, liked his size and outline, in good coat and condition, he was rather unsettled and not putting all in, possibly feeling the cold in the Hall (I agree with him it was cold).

PB

1 Seabridge's Sujoncla Lolo Creek. Smart youngster with racy outline, pleasing head though I feel her ears require a touch more lift, good make and shape, harsh coat that was presented in good form, moved freely, an interesting prospect.

JB

1 Cooke's Royal Lady At Montelle. Pleasing bitch to go over, liked her feminine head and expression, fair reach of neck. Well laid shoulders, good depth of body, strong quarters, good bone and feet, lacking in showmanship today.

LB

1 Hobson's Erredwiltsir Irish Bells. A nice sized bitch that was totally stripped out of coat, typical head and dark eye, straight front and good bone, racy quarters, moved ok in profile.

OB

1 Barker, Averis & Goddard's Ch September Morn On Irvonhill. A bitch that oozes class, appealing feminine outline with ground cover stance, scores in head & expression, well made throughout, in super coat and condition, she was presented to win, moved freely and with drive, CC & Best of Breed.

2 Howarth & Kooker's Kells Hot Tempest. A bitch of good balance, feminine head and expression, a touch more lift to her ears would benefit, deep body, correct tailset, strong quarters, moved with drive, RBCC.

3 Nolcini's Holbam Celtic Kate.
