KERRY BLUE JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 16
Kerry Blue Terrier
Overall a pleasing entry, better depth of quality in the bitches. Shoulders in general could be improved, and movement would benefit from dogs being moved at the pace that is right for the individual dog. Worryingly there were too many ‘mucky eyes’ and a problem with lower incisors not being as the breed standard requires. Whilst I expect a true Kerry to be full of spirit I do not expect it to be directed at the judge!
Puppy Dog 3
1. Martin’s Clanciarrai Coada, quality pup, lovely size, good reach of neck , keen expression, big ribs. Moved with drive and reach. Res CC, Best Puppy
2. Forrest & Scott’s Lacarnaveen One & Only, another quality pup, nice size good head and expression. Moved well enough.
3. Davani’s Kebulak Wear My Kiss up to size, long head with good expression, would prefer him more compact. Did not really settle on the move.
Junior Dog 1
1. Seddon & Butler’s Lemracdream Donatello, 17month dog, large enough, lovely soft coat. Moving close behind, but then going too fast.
Post Graduate Dog 3 (1abs)
1. Carter’s Kebulak French Connection, large rather rangy dog with good head and expression.

Limit Dog 3 (1 abs)
1. Cassin’s Balboa Saladin, quality young dog, good head ears and ken expression. Soundly made, colour coming through well. Moved soundly and showed well. His exaggerated trim did not do his make and shape justice, nevertheless CC.
2. Earle & Kelly’s Miculadh Edge of Glory at Dollagh, nice size lovely coat and colour. Front and temperament did not please.
Open Dog 1
1. Clarke O’Neill’s Ch Ir Ch Lemracdream The Navigator, impressive dog dog with long head, heavy ears which detracted. Big ribs, good tailset. Good colour, would have preferred better shoulders and coat texture.
