IRISH JUDGE SOUTHERN COUNTIES 24

Not a huge entry of Irish Terriers today but I found excellent overall quality with correct proportions for this breed and typical racy and grace outlines, and all presented in beautiful coats. Very nice heads and ears and eyes full of fire. Beautiful bodies, bone and feet.
