MINOR PUPPY (6.0)

Lovely class of quality puppies at various stages of development.

1^st Walker’s Gwendariff Hanky Panky

Possesses a very pleasing head, nicely balanced and dark eyes with typical Irish Setter expression. Shown in lovely coat and condition. Liked his outline and overall size. Well reared with good body and bone. Nicely angulated. Decent depth to chest, neat at elbow, straight forelegs led done to neat feet with short nails. Steady and happy on the move. Just lacked the maturity of the PD in the challenge.

2^nd Crocker and Frost’s Ronaldo Lofty with Riverbrue (IMP POL) NAF TAF

Another quality youngster liked his type, overall construction, and head piece. Balanced in outline. Good length to neck, fits neatly into his shoulders. Decent depth to chest and pronounced sternum. Short hocks and neat tight feet. Handled well and presented in rich dark coat. Felt 1^st was just a tad more positive on the move.

3^rd Gilbert’s Kerrimere Night Breeze Among Joanmas

PUPPY (3:0)

1^st Dewar’s Gwendariff Bobby Dazzler (IKC)

Have admired this puppy from the ringside so was nice to have the opportunity to judge him. Shown well and presented in beautiful coat and condition. Pleasing outline, nicely balanced and as required full of quality. Handsome in head, dark eyes showed desired expression I love in this breed. Correct length to neck, fitting neatly into his shoulders, decent spring of rib for his age, and good depth to brisket. Straight forelegs leading down to neat tight feet and short nails. Decent bend to stifle and straight short hocks. Moved well with lashing tail, carried correctly. Pleased to award him Best Puppy Dog, showed himself off well for BPIS but the PB just had the edge on footfall in the challenge. Good Luck with him, I am sure he will have a bright future.

2^nd Lorrimer’s Gwendariff Disco Dazzler (IKC)

Litter brother to my first so much applies also to this quality puppy. Beautifully handled and presented as I would expect by his owner. Just a shade lighter in coat than his brother. Has lovely head with moderate length of ears, low set, and dark eyes showing kindly expression. Just a tad less positive on the move than the winner but was more settled in the Novice class. Should have a good future like his litter brother.

3^rd Tupper & Rosie’s Alofrana’s Welsh Crusader

VETERAN DOG (4.0)

Every owner of the four dogs in this class should be proud, the condition and presentation of the dogs in this class was amazing. They made my heart sing! Thank you for entering these lovely lads, they were all a credit to you on the day.

1^st Rowbottom’s Sh Ch Lanstara Spring Moon

I awarded this dog BIS awhile back, so, it gave me immense pleasure to judge him again, also, to see in the catalogue he had sired my BPD. Quality specimen of the breed, nicely constructed throughout, still with good muscle tone and presented in fabulous coat and condition. Lovely outline, gentle sloping topline from withers to tail set, which he held on the move. Most handsome of heads with the sweetest of expressions. It was a cracking class he won as filled with quality exhibits in fine form for their age. He moved well, but in the challenge for BVIS the bitch just had the edge on movement. The exhibitor and breeder must be extremely proud of this lovely lad.

2^nd Greenan’s Anlory Aiden JW

Have admired this dog outside the ring and as a fellow exhibitor. Again, nicely presented in lovely coat and condition and shown to advantage in the ring. Loved his balanced head, dark eyes of correct shape and low set ears. Just a tad of “White Glitter” enhanced his lovely features. Not exaggerated in any way giving a pleasing outline whilst stood. Nicely constructed, with plenty of depth to chest, good spring of rib and correct tail set. Moderate length of neck fitting nicely into his shoulders. Good bend to stifle and neat hocks. Moved well, holding his topline.

3^rd Russell’s Sh Ch Lynwood Hocus Pocus at Settesoli JW

JUNIOR DOG (7:2)

1^ST Jacobs & Bernard’s Forfarian Fancy Footwork

This young lad is a very nice example of the breed, with good construction, nicely angulated fore and aft, well off for bone and muscle tone. Taller and longer cast than 2^nd. Gleaming coat with ample feathering for his age. Gentle sloping topline from withers leading to correct tail set. Good bend of stifle and neat hocks. Liked his head and expression. Moved a tad unsteady but best mover in the class on the day.

2^nd Russell’s Tiroen Touch of Magic by Settesoli (IMP KCJ) JW

I really like this young lad and have often admired him. Has the sweetest of heads and lovely expression. Posed a nice picture when stood, not over done, and balanced in profile. Straight front nicely angulated both front and rear, neat at elbow, with decent depth to chest and good spring of rib for his age. Liked his ratio of rib to loin and thereby stood over a nice amount of ground for me. Just a tad more unsettled on the move which lost him the first place. I am sure these two nice lads with often change places.

3^rd Davison’s Bardonhill Love Me Tender

YEARLING DOG (3:0)

1^ST Dank-Kemish’s Alolfrana All I Ask Of Eveandabec JW

This lovely male was placed in front of me to judge and I immediately thought WOW! Loved him and must compliment both his breeder and handler for such a stunning example of our breed. This young male is produced from lineage I have often admired. He ticked all the boxes for me in overall construction, bone, muscle tone. head, coat and movement. He is still young, but very mature for his age in both body and coat finish. Possess a masculine, handsome head piece and he is nicely balanced in body without exaggeration. Handled and presented to perfection as I would expect from this team. Moved with animation and drive. One of the best movers on the day and was pleased to award his 3^rd CC, then with the total agreement of my Co Judge, BIS. Many Congratulations.

2^nd Richardson’s Bardonhill McIntosh Red At Montgreenan JW

Unlucky to meet the first dog on the day as I have liked this young male since he was a puppy. He presents a lovely outline when stood with a gentle sloping topline and is balanced without any exaggeration. Quality example of the breed has a lovely head with the kindest of expression. Showed his typically Irish temperament whilst I was going over him which made me smile. Shown well and presented in fabulous dark shining coat with ample feathering. Clean neck of good length, fitting correctly into his shoulders. Ribs well sprung, good depth to chest and elbows well let down and close to body. Straight forelegs with good length and bone.

POST GRADUATE DOG (4:0)

1^st Parsons’ Quensha Thinking Out Loud At Bransett JW

Presented a very pleasing picture whilst stood in fabulous coat with profuse feathering. He is not the easiest dog to show I should imagine but his owner gets the absolute best from him as I would expect. “Naughty but Nice” so the saying goes. This male is nicely made throughout, easy to go over, my hands easily glided over him. He has plenty of depth to his chest, pronounced sternum, good return of upper arm and neat at elbow. Good overall muscle tone, so this boy obviously enjoys plenty of exercise. Nicely angulated both fore and aft. The icing on the cake is his handsome balanced head. Moved well once settled.

Another I have admired, lovely to have the opportunity to judge this dog. As desired, presents the typical outline when stood with firm topline which he held on the move. Moderate in all aspects and not overdone in any way. He appealed for his overall shape and size, Slightly smaller than 1^st handled to advantage and shown in lovely coat and condition.

MID LIMIT DOG (5:0)

1^st Richardson’s Gwendariff Tully’s Red Arrows

Drew my attention as soon as he entered the ring. Presented in lovely condition, with luscious dark coat and profuse feathering. I appreciate the effort and time it takes to have a dog in such good coat and body condition, so much work has obviously gone into his everyday wellbeing. He presents a beautiful picture when stood, nicely balanced, and handled to advantage. I very much liked his overall makeup; he is nice to go over which his well-constructed frame allows. Has good bone and muscle tone, with plenty of width to his thighs and decent bend of stifle, leading to short hocks and neat feet. His front angulation fairs well with pronounced sternum, good return of upper arm and neat at elbow. He moved with drive and good footfall.

He is shown in good hard condition, in fabulous coat and handled to perfection. His head is balanced and handsome, nothing to dislike and he ticked the boxes on my wish list.

Judge: Lindsey Jones SAFFRONSETT

North East of England Irish Setter Club Championship Show 21st October 2023

I was a last minute stand in judging dogs at this show and took on the elected judge, Joan Kniveton’s entry. Joan, I hope you are feeling much better now. My thanks to those of you who braved the weather and travelled to show under me. My steward Eddie Fairley needs a badge of honour for keeping up to date on what was happening in the other two rings so that no one missed a class.

All the dogs were presented clean although please check your feet for trimming and nails as on hard floors nothing can be hidden. Movement was a bit erratic at times. Tight leads and racing around the ring unbalanced some exhibits. Most dogs were well muscled and I thought we had some promising youngsters.

Bitches – 21.10.23

I would like to thank the committee for their kind invitation to judge at the show and for their
hospitality on the day, thanks also to the exhibitors who braved some horrible conditions that
Babet brought and made it along to the show.
MPB 2 pretty litter sisters to start the day, just 6 months old and both doing so well.
1. Robinson’s Cherrorvale Dream Come True Pretty girl with super feminine head with raised
brows, arched neck into well placed shoulders and sloping topline, straight front with well
developed chest. Well angulated rear. Moving well for one so young. Presented in a lovely
dark coat.
2. Blackshaw & Rowbottom’s Lanstara Cherrorvale Moon Dancer Another pretty girl but will take
a little more time to come together than her sister appealing in head with dark eyes and low
set ears, long neck leading cleanly into sloping topline. Prefer her over the croup. Paler in
coat. Moving out well showing good reach.
VB
1. Stevenson’s Lochlorien True Detective is Andley Lovely lady long and lean in head, dark eyes,
with the delicate speckling of grey adding to her kind expression, muscular through neck and
well laid shoulders, sloping top, well sprung ribs with good length of rib and strong loin, well
angulated rear with good stifle. Moved really well with lovely carriage of head and tail. She is
in top form at the moment and was pleased in agreement with my Co-judge to award her
BVIS over a favourite boy of mine.
JB
1. Prangle’s Clonageera It’s a New Dawn at Heathclare Built on larger frame but still showing her
femininity, pretty headed girl with dark eye and raised brows. Presented in a lovely dark
straight coat and developing nice feathering for her age, appealing in clean outline with
muscular neck and sloping topline leading to good tailset. Plenty depth to chest and well
angulated rear. Moving well.
2. Bott, Allen and Morgan’s Quensha Joker and the Queen Super pretty girl, smaller made but
with plenty of substance, feminine refined head with raised brow and dark eye expressive eye.
Long neck, sloping topline, well angulated in front. Presented a racy outline, dark coat with a
nice amount of coat for her age. Developed more confidence in her classes to come and
moved better for it.
3. Sloane’s Ferasheen Pop The Champers
YB
1. Vallance’s Glencarron Second Edition to Corcencone Really impressed with the little lady
today, presented a balanced outline with lovely straight dark coat. Feminine in head with good
shape to skull, dark eyes and low set ears, arched neck leading to well placed shoulders,
sloping topline, well sprung ribs, well developed rear quarters. Moved well in her class but
lacked animation in the challenge.
2. Sloane’s Ferasheen Pop The Champers Well made feminine girl of substance with dark coat,
long and lean in head with dark expressive eyes and raised brows and low set ears, muscular
arched neck, clean over well placed shoulder to sloping topline, well developed in chest and

chest, finished off with darkest of shiny coats. Moved really well today to take the class.

PGB Super class of lovely ladies, all quite different and making a difficult decision.
1. Henderson’s Sametsuz Pillowtalk Really lovely little lady, feminine head with dark eye, strong
arched neck into well placed shoulders clean over topline with good tail set, plenty depth of
chest. Moving well around the ring. Finished off with a lovely straight gleaming coat with just
a nice amount of feathering.
2. Robinson’s Lanstara Red Dress at Cherrorvale Really well presented with a well conditioned
straight coat, head long and lean with dark eyes, raised brows and low set ears. Arched neck,
plenty of fore chest, good spring of rib and length of long, good bend of stifle. Moved well.
3. Box’s Fernstart Heart’s Delight JW
MLB
1. Watt’s Shenanagin Half A Sixpence Have never seen this girl looking better, at one with her
handler and presented to perfection which allowed her clean balanced outline to shine.
Prettiest of heads with dark expressive eyes, arched neck leading cleanly into well placed
shoulders. Sloping topline. Deep chest with plenty spring of rib and strength through loin.
Strong rear quarters. Moved well and in the challenge took it up a notch, carried herself so
well, In particular I noted her lovely head carriage and finished off with a level tail. In super
coat and condition. Pleasure to award her the CC and in agreement with my Co-Judge
Reserve Best In show.
2. Davie’s Lochfrae Nina Simone Feminine lady, clean and unexaggerated in outline, not in the
best of coats at the moment but what she had was gleaming and dark. Long and lean in head
with lovely shape to stop, low set ears and kind expression, lean neck flowing into gently
sloping topline, good depth to chest and plenty fore chest. Good bend to stifle. Moving well
with lovely tail carriage
LB
1. Henderson’s Sametsuz Believe In Me Cracking girl in absolute top form, balanced and full of
quality with super flowing outline from long lean neck through her sloping topline and well set
tail. Well angulated in front with lovely spring of rib and depth to chest. Powerful well
angulated rear allowed her to move well showing plenty of personality, I could tell a great deal
of time and effort has been put into her and her full gleaming coat really finished the picture.
Pleased to award RCC.
2. Longbottom’s Gwendariff We’ll Be Phame Us (IKC) Chatty little lady built on a smaller frame
but still full of breed type and substance. Pretty head with dark expressive eyes, raised brows
and lower ears, arched neck leading cleanly over well placed shoulders to sloping topline, well
angulated rear and moving well. Not in the best of coats but what she had was dark and shiny.
3. Sharman & Jennings-Sharman Kerriemere Red Ribbon JW.
SBB
1. Bentley’s Penclippin Celtic Asthore. Feminine all through, really liked her head with dark eyes
and kind expression, muscular in neck, just needing some time to develop in rear quarters and
coat. Tending to crab on the move.

First of all I want to say thank you to the Committee of the NEEISC to give me the great honor to award the bitches CC’s and to all the exhibitors and their lovely dogs. I found that the quality is very high in the UK, most of the dogs were very well looked after and were presented in good nic. Only a few times I found some knots under the armpits. I recognized that a few dogs are lacking in movement, I missed reach n drive, and our lovely breed is a gundog breed which should be able to move as the standard says. What I also like to say is, that the dogs are better (very much) handled than on the continent, also the overall presentation. In some classes I wished I had more red cards! Sometimes it was a hair splitting decision on another day, it could be different! Overall I was very pleased with my entries and thank you all very, very much to made this day so very special to me! A special thank you to my 2 stewards, they did a super job! Thank you!

Championship Show Oct 20th 2018.

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge Dogs at their Breed Club Show.
Thankyou to my Two stewards who kept the ring running smoothly, even though we had to wait a couple of times while classes clashed with the Open show.
I would also like to thank the exhibitors for making the extra journey due to a change of venue. On the whole the dogs were presented in wonderful condition, however I did find a few incorrect mouths.
BIS in complete agreement with my co-judge was Sh Ch & Ir Sh Ch Gwendariff Nuts Aboutu Glenavna JW.
