IRISH MANCHESTER 2010 Judge: Mrs J Looker IRISH JUDGE MANCHESTER 10 Irish Terriers All mouths were correct & feet clean. PD (2) 1 Bradley’s Montelle Irish Vision, up to size, almost 8 months, lovely clean head, good length, flat skull, good earset & carriage, lovely neck & shoulder, clean front, well ribbed back, sound quarters & tailset. Lost out in hind action to his kennelmate; 2 Hardman’s Spanwise Vermillion, 11 months, nice size dog, balanced head, shorter coupled, well off for bone. Low tailset, rather erratic movement, needs to carry more weight. JD (2) 1 BOB, Bradley’s Montelle Viscount Erhard, up to size, all male, correct in all departments yet retaining elegance, his typical animated Irish character shows off his conformation so well, really drove round the ring a well co-ordinated performance, lovely coat, furnishings & presentation; 2 S Vermillion. PGD (2) 1 M Viscount Erhard; 2 Hardman’s Drumbilla Diablo amidst Bonosue, lovely size, scores in head, overall balance good. Rather soft condition & needs more weight. OD (5,1a) 1 RBD, Pratt’s Terrijay Special Brew, handsome muscular dog, in sparkling condition, good size, masculine head. Ears rather flat. Lovely body, limbs & feet, well schooled, moving well; 2 Cooke’s Lionwood Rowanberry, biggish dog, pleasing to go over. Presentation could be better. Harsh coat, good legs, well padded feet, sound mover; 3 Attwell’s Montelle Mr Sandman. PB (2,1) 1 Anderson’s Kerrykeel Noleen, pretty feminine puppy, enjoying her first outing, very nice for size, lovely head, topline, bone & condition. Movement rather erratic but plenty of time. Very well schooled. JB (0). PGB 1 RBB, Grant’s Ticknock Tamarind Breeze, lovely head, good ears used well, nice neck & shoulder, clean front, firm topline. Tail a little low set.
