IRISH JUDGE WELKS 09

Irish Terriers

It was an unexpected pleasure to find myself in the ring judging such a pleasing group of Irish, but of course I was very sorry for the reason: that the scheduled judge, Judy Averis, was not yet fit from her foot operation. I join with everyone in sending best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

PD (4)

1 Hemmings’ Courtington Kassel, promising young dog, good coat & colour, very good head, eye & ears, pleasing neck, shoulders, topline, tailset & carriage. Moved & showed well here but got totally distracted when his sister came in to challenge him for BP so he lost out to her;

2 Seabridge’s Sujobcla Pokanoket, very showy & typical, used his ears beautifully, good eye, nice body, depth & rib for age, nice firm unexaggerated hindquarters;

3 Rundle’s Sidewater The Pretender.

JD (1)

1 Pratt’s Terrijay Special Brew, well balanced, good eye & ears, very good bone, legs & feet, well muscled quarters, well bodied, moved soundly.

PGD (3,1a)

1 Hardman’s Bonosue The Mighty Quinn, nice for size, in good broken coat, firm hindquarters. Could be better in tail carriage & ears. Nice neck. Moved soundly but needs more control;

2 Atwell’s Montelle Mr Sandman at Xanwil, rather on the leg & lacks a little character in the ring, felt he was not at his best.

LD (3)

1 Seabridge’s Kerrykeel Wounded Knee at Sujoncla, well grown, pleasing head & ears, nice neck, shoulders, legs & feet, good topline & tailset, nice hindquarters, moved & showed well;

2 Nevill’s Montelle Lord Montague, good head, eye & ears. Not quite the front extension of 1 just spoiling his balance but has lots to like;

3 Hardman’s Bonosue Eric The Red.

OD (4)

1 Gruettner’s Horatio von der Emsmuehle, exciting dog of quality, very good for size, balance & shape, excellent temperament, interested in everything & everybody but in complete control, good head & eyes, pleasing neck, shoulders, front, topline & tailset, in good coat, moved & showed well. CC, BOB, hear he was placed in the group;

2 Anderson’s Kerrykeel Ronan, very typical & a real male but big enough, pleasing head & expression, well made hindquarters. 1 scored in front. Firm topline, good over the loin & croup. RCC;

3 Lovelace’s Brazan Slippery Jack.

PB (6,3)

1 Hemmings’ Courtington Karina, very promising baby, pleasing head, eye & ears, nice neck & shoulderline, good coat & condition, moved & showed well. BP;

2 Bentley-Mouat’s Newbuild Twist, nicely made & well balanced, moving well. Black needs to clear from her coat; 3 Batley & Stahle’s Summer Glory at Penmire.

JB (6,1)

1 Ruffles’ Ruffmar Bronzed Ballerina, nicely balanced bitch of good size & shape, good head & ears, pleasing neck & shoulders, moved & showed well;

2 Brown’s Sujoncla Ochinee, I like her a lot but she needs more furnishings to complete the picture. Pleasing head, good legs & feet;

3 Rundle & Goddard’s Allatsea Gift Of Gold at Marshcourt.

PGB (5,1)

1 Jackson’s Montelle Star Of The Ring, very showy & scored in expression, neat, well made & nicely balanced, good thighs;

2 Wooding’s Woodraith Golden Buttercup, liked her lines very much, good for size & generally well made. Could have a little more strength in second thigh but moved soundly;

3 Hardman’s Bonosue Snow Storm.

LB (3,1)

1 Woodin’s Sujoncla White Horse & 2 Nevill’s Myscharrma Lady Roseinna, neither gave of her best as a showgirl but felt 1 had the edge on condition & coat, however

2 is nearly 9 & looked well for her age. 1 was in good coat & body condition, handles well. 2 is well bodied & has a charming temperament.

OB (6)

1 Lovelace’s Ch Brazan Seghill, beautiful bitch, feminine & has quality, good head & eyes, pleasing neck, shoulders, topline & tailset, good hindquarters, in splendid coat & condition. CC;

2 Anderson’s Ch Kerrykeel Orlaith, good bitch, touch bigger & 1 had the edge in second thighs. Good head & expression, nice topline, very good body & rib, showed well;

3 Gruettner’s Irish Fellow Empire.
