Jasper wins a strong limit class and goes on to take to take the Dog Reserve Challenge Certificate

Limit Dog (6-0) 1st: McDonald’s Roanjora Castelao JW ShCM - Outstanding four year old in tip top condition and well presented. Typical shape to skull with kind, alert eye and biddable temperament. Ideal balance between front and rear assemblies with good substance but nothing overdone. Moved out with an easy ground-covering action, driving straight and true from well placed hocks and tight feet. Maintained a firm topline throughout. Well deserving of his RCC.

PGD (2) 1 Roanjora Castelao, I felt that this juvenile fitted the Standard very well. Broad head, good stop, correctly placed ears, enough slope to pastern, straight front, firm in condition & showed some good reach & drive. He is accurate coming and going, lovely & clean from hock to toe, just needs to fill out in forechest & drop a touch to complete the picture. BD & BOB;

JD (3) 1. McDonald’s Roanjora Castelao; Presents a very well balanced young man at this stage. Excellent presentation, and handling as one would expect from this kennel. He has a gorgeous masculine head with a very soft expression with a dark eye, good flews and planes to his head. Correct ear set leading onto a strong muscular neck. Good front & chest with enough depth at this stage. He possesses excellent front and rear angulations, with a good topline and his tail comes straight off his back. Starting to show his feathering on his belly and tail, with good islands of red on his body coat; should make up into a very nice boy. He moved around the ring on a steady good long free flowing stride. I liked him but just felt he needs more time to develop.

Junior Dog 3 (0 )1^STMCDONALD 'S ROANJORA CASTELAO  Pleasing head and eye with, well set ears, strong neck and shoulders well laid, ribs back to a firm loin but needs to body up a little.  Quarters developed and used to advantage on the move, stands on good legs and feet and is well presented.  A little shy to begin with but this did not detract on the move as he covered the ground well.

Here Ray was allowed to handle Jasper to 1st in Junior Dog

JD (1) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Castelao, at just 13 months of age this lovely young dog has a promising future. Pleasing head, neck & shoulder. Correct straight front with good bone. He has depth & is well ribbed back. Good rear angulation with moderate turn of stifle. On the move he was positive& true.

Thanks to the officers & committee of this very friendly show the sun was shining & all exhibitors extremely sporting IRISH R/W SETTERS – P (1) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Castelao, at 10 months this handsome boy is still a long way from the finished article. Head still needs to break a bit more, nice eye shape, eyes could be darker but good overall construction, frame needs to fill out. Movement very puppyish still, very nice feet. BP. G (1) 1 McDonald’s Roanjora Tsarine Tzarina, very elegant bitch of nearly 2, still not fully matured but getting there. Nicely shaped head with expressive eyes & gentle expression. Good length of neck & shoulder placement. Correct angulation front & rear. Tended to ‘knit’ with her rear movement, but when viewed side on did drive & move with fluidity. RBOB. O (6,2a) 1 Hawkins’ Corranroo Carousel over Aislingwood, liked this elegant bitch very much. Feminine head with no exaggerations, good eye shape, moderate neck length into good shoulders & forearm angulations correct. Good forechest, elbows tightly under the body. Correct body length. Took a few moments to get into her stride when moving but once she settled showed good drive behind. BOB; 2 McDonald’s Roanjora Chianti; 3 Hawkins’ Courtdown Devonshire Dawn over Aislingwood.
