KERRY BLUE MANCHESTER 22 Judge: Mrs J Pinfold Thank you to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge this wonderful breed! I was very pleased with my principal winners… who, in my eyes were true to type and quality. It was noted that there were a few dogs with extremely dirty teeth… this is very disappointing as so much time and effort goes into presentation, yet no attention has been made to ensure the teeth are clean. 1 Rigney’s Arigna Sky Blue. Very smart young lad. Lovely head and expression, keen dark eye, used ears well, correct scissor bite and good pigmentation. Clean neck and good layback of shoulder, short coupled, tail on top. Lovely coat. Moved well, when settled. BPIB and shortlisted in the puppy group. 2 Dale’s Gaelgorm Forty Shades Of Lynnsto NAF. Only a raw baby. Good head, dark eye, scissor bite. Good layback of shoulder, level topline, not keen on carrying his tail up. Hopefully this will come with experience. 1 Marley’s Lansmar King Of The Celts. This young lad never stopped showing. Super head, used ears, dark eye, strong jaw, correct bite, very keen. Good length of neck, layback of shoulder, spring of rib, short coupled, tail absolutely bang on top. Moved well, very well presented and handled. 2 Baxter’s Clanciarrai Pecker Dunne. Balanced head, dark eye, scissor bite, good ear set, good layback of shoulder, level topline, good bend of stifle. Not putting it all in today, which was a huge shame. This was very much the strongest class of the day with some keen competition. 1 Somers’ Catchagorm Checkmate By Dogazza. Punishing head, dark eye, correct bite, super keen expression, used ears well. Good reach of neck, layback of shoulder, level topline, short coupled, powerful hindquarters, moved with drive lovely colour and presentation. Pushed hard for the CC today. RDCC. 2 Ramsay’s Montealtos Allrise At Torum. Great head and expression, dark eye, scissor bite. Powerful neck and correct layback of shoulder. Good bone and strong legs. Longer cast than first, level topline. Needs to settle on the move. Well presented. 1 Davani & Walters’ Kebulak Blue Faced Lie Kamaghan. This lad never stopped showing, even on his own in the ring. Well balanced head, strong fore face, wicked expression, dark eye, scissor bite, used ears well. Reachy neck, good shoulders, good spring of rib, short coupled, good bend of stifle, excellent tail set, covered the ground well on the move. Excellent colour and presentation. Such a showman. DCC & BOB. 1 Davani & Potts’ Kebulak A Kiss So Deadly. 8 month old. Very feminine, well balanced head, dark eye, scissor bite, good reach of neck, held topline on the move, tail on top and moved true. 2 Somers’ Pillow Talk At Dogazza. 10 months and very raw youngster. Pleasing head, dark eye, used ears well, scissor bite. Good layback of shoulder, spring of rib, lovely coat texture. Just not putting it in today. 1 Martin’s Clanciarrai Aria. This 13 month girl was a serious prospect and pushed extremely hard for the BCC today. Beautiful well balanced head of good proportions, keen dark eye, scissor bite, well set ears, reachy powerful neck, correct shoulders, level topline, good spring of rib, compact body and short coupled. Correct coat. Not settled on the move, but this will come with time and experience. RBCC. 1 Davani & Potts’ Kebulak Blue Velvet. Lovely young girl. Balanced head, dark eye, correct bite, used ears to advantage. Good length of neck, shoulders, straight front, level topline, in good body and condition, again very feminine. Tail bang on top, moved and presented well. 2 Bagworth & Connor’s Faragoma Perla Twinkle Toes. Pleasing head, dark eye, scissor bite. Strong neck, good shoulders, good spring of rib, powerful hindquarters, moved slightly close behind. 1 Dale’s Avalanche Eire-Kerry Ivanka Lynnsto (Imp Rus). Balanced head, dark eye, keen expression, scissor bite. Good reach of neck and layback of shoulder, deep brisket, short coupled. Good coat and colour. Moved close behind and needs to be moved slower. 2 Prendergast’s Lakki Kerri Pride With Glory. Well balanced head, dark eye, scissor bite. Reachy neck and good shoulder placement. Good spring of rib, compact body. I personally would like to see a better coat texture. Did not move today. Paced around the ring. 1 Davies & Birch’s Perrisblu Obsession. Up to size girl. Well balanced keen head, dark eye, scissor bite. Good reach of neck and shoulder, spring of rib, good bone, good bend of stifle and well muscled quarters, moved well fore and aft. In good coat and colour. Presented well. BCC, I was pleased to learn that this is her third crowning CC today.
