Thomas and Print’s Bilarney Hot Cross Bun. 6 months old and developing that harsh red double coat. Ears carried on top of the head and used with expression. Dark eyes giving a keen look, scissor bite. Reach of neck led to well set shoulders and deep set chest. Tail carried correctly. Angulated and moved straight, freely, with reach. Still a little loose. Liked him enough to award BP. Junior Dog (1). 1. Chilvers Apispolb Bumble. 17months old. Harsh double coat. Expressive ears set on a finer head. Dark eye and scissor bite. Deep chest leading to clear tuck at the loin. Angulated with upright tail carriage. Reach of neck led to well laid shoulders. Moved true when settled but a little close. Post Graduate Dog (1). 1 Hardman and Brandwood’s Bonosue Thunderstorm at Spanwise. Proportionately built with a longer harsh coat. Head of good proportion and shape but ears a little wayward. Dark eye and scissor bite. Length of neck led to laid back shoulders and deep chest. Had good bone and angulation. Move straight and true. Open Dog (6. 1a) 1. Cooke’s Montelle Follow a Star to Lionwood. Stood with attitude. Harsh longer coat. Head of correct proportions. Ears set on properly. Dark eye and scissor bite. Reach of neck led to laid back shoulders and deep chest. Well boned with straight front and racy tuck. Angulation allowed free straight movement with reach and drive. BD. 2. Hardman’s Ch. Red Lucifer at Bonosue. Much of what I have said about 1 applies to this dog with correct proportions, harsh coat, strong head and well angulated. Scissor bite. Reach of neck with straight front and strong loin. Free straight movement. Preferred attitude of 1. RBD. Puppy Bitch (2). 1.Hardman and Howarth’s Bonosue Shooting Star. 6 months old. Harsh coat developing. Finer built but with the ears a bit loose today. Dark eye and scissor bite with large black nose. Proportionate body with sufficient angulation. Moved straight but a bit loose as to be expected at this age. 2. Case’s Kerrykeel Koire. 11 months old. Good ears with dark eye and scissor bite. Reach of neck with straight front. Deep chest and well angulated. Proportionately built. Movement a bit unsteady. Junior Bitch (3. 1a) 17 month old bitch who caught my eye immediately. Red coat of correct texture. Stood with unexaggerated features. Ears size and set correct, interested expression. Long head as required, little stop with strong scissor bite, dark eye. Reach of neck led to well laid shoulder and fit front. Deep chest with racy tuck up. Proportionate angulation. Gave the appearance of being slightly finer build but was found to have good bone. Moved freely and straight with reach and drive. BB and BOB. 2. Lovelace’s Dotsfirth Pearl’s a Singer. Correct coat of colour. Ears set on correct head. Dark eye with scissor bite.
