Really enjoyed myself judging at this well run show, thank you to committee & exhibitors for a lovely day. IRISH R/W SETTERS – J (1) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Tsarine Tzarina, pretty enough head, just needs time to break. Moderate length of neck & slightly arched, shoulders well laid back, could do with more spring of rib but that could come in time, enough angulation for her age, moved OK. PG (2) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Chianti, broad head with good stop, correct earset, excellent lay of shoulders, plenty depth of brisket & well ribbed back, strong topline with correct amount of angulated hindquarters, moved well. RBOB; 2 R Tsarine Tzarina. O (2) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Pinotage, lovely head on this boy, very handsome, strong neck & well angulated front with plenty depth of brisket, well ribbed back & strong hindquarters, moved well. BOB; 2 Ward’s Ballakinnish Mischief Making Copperwhite.

Thank you for a lovely entry & all who braved the awful weather. I started judging outside but then it just got too wet! IRISH R/W SETTERS – J (1) 1 Mcdonald’s Roanjora Tsarine Tzarina, pretty headed bitch with a good earset. Neck leads cleanly into nicely angulated shoulders. Firm topline but would like a better finish to croup. She’s at that in between stage at the moment & needs to tighten all over. PG (3,1a) 1 Collins’ Corranroo Cloudchaser at Forestpoint, strongly made boy well off for bone. Good head but would like a bit more depth of muzzle. Firm topline & good depth of brisket. Just needs a little more angulation both fore & aft, but in lovely hard condition. RBOB; 2 Mcdonald’s Roanjora Tsarine Tzarina. O (2,1) 1 Mcdonald’s Roanjora Pinotage, eyecatching boy coming to his best. He has lovely bone & substance. His outline is clean with no ugly lumps or bumps. His head is handsome. Muscular neck leading cleanly into good shoulders, strong in topline & well angulated rear quarters. Would like him a tad tighter at elbows but when moving he covered the ground well keeping his balanced outline. BOB & shortlisted in the group.

IRISH R/W SETTERS – J (1) 1 Ward’s Ballakinnish Mischief Making Copperwhite, quality feminine bitch, lovely head & expression with a good clean muzzle, clean neck with no sign of throatiness, good straight front with correctly placed elbows, nice tight feet, shoulders well laidback, good topline, moved well. This bitch must have a very bright future in front of her. RBOB. PG(2) 1 B Mischief Making C; 2 McDonald’s Roanjora Chianti. O (2) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Pinotage, masculine dog, appealing head, good skull shape. Flecking in the coat was slight & not enough in my opinion to penalise him over his plus points. Balanced outline, good front& feet, well angulated, in good coat, covered the ground well moving with drive & style. This dog has not reached his best yet so will be interested in his progress. BOB; 2 Ward’s Copperwhite Cordelia.
