A new venue for Belfast this year which
proved to be light & airy with good sized rings. Thanks to those
exhibitors who made the journey. A number of exhibits were carrying too
much weight for my liking. PD(2,0) 1.Catto’s BIRSELAW STAY WITH ME.
Brindle in full coat,up to size,yet balanced. Masculine head,dark eye,correct
dentition. Showy when standing.Just needs to tighten in front movement.BP 2. Smith’s ROCASOVALE DANISH DELIGHT.
9mth Brindle. Not as mature or as confident as 1. In good coat. Ok in head
with good mouth. Rather unsettled on the move. Needs time. JD(2,0) 1.Smith’s ROCASOVALE DISTANT DRUMS.More
confident litter brother to 2 in PD. Red Brindle with excellent coat.
Pleasing head with good mouth & eye. Sound mover. Needs to keep his
weight in check. 2. Alexander’s CLOVERBROOK CRACK THE
CODE. This Cream lad wasn’t happy with the surroundings & didn’t show
himself off to advantage. Good mouth & eye,just a little long in muzzle.
Correct coat. Movement hard to assess. POST GRAD DOG(2,0) 1.Anderson’s BIRSELAW NEVER SAY NEVER
AT KERRYKEEL.Just out of Junior yet maturing steadily. Up to size Wheaten
Brindle. Excels in head & expression. Correct in neck & shoulders
with level topline. Moved true fore & aft. Needs new jacket to complete
the picture. Pushed hard for res.CC. 2.Miller’s CORNTON DARK CORRIE. Typey
dark brindle with good head. Moved & showed ok. Coat in need of some
tidying. LIMIT DOG(3,1) 1.Lamb & Saltmarsh’s RENSHAW THERE
AND BACK AGAIN UNDER MACMOON SHCM. Dark Brindle with good head,correct
stop,& eye. In shorter coat which showed his clean outline & level
topline. Moved well in front but a little close behind today. 2.Miller’s CORNTON COULTER. Larger
pattern than 1 with lovely head & expression. Correct stop &
dentition. Coat on the blow. Failed in topline. OPEN DOG(4,0) 1.Shaw’s CH.HONEYHALL HEADBOY. Judged
this dog 18 months ago & have watched him mature.All Male who excels in
head & expression. Handles well on the table. Shown in full coat &
sound condition. Expertly handled as always. Covered the ground with ease
& showed all out both in the breed class & Group. Delighted to award
him CC & BOB. 2.Catto’s CH.BIRSELAW THE THRILL OF IT
ALL. Gave this dog res CC last time I judged him & again today. A worthy
champion who excels in head. Well constructed throughout. Shown in full coat
of correct texture. Steady mover & showman. Res CC. 3.Hogarthy’s CADAGIO DON’T STOP ME NOW. PB(3,1) 1.Miller’s CORNTON ROSEMAREE. Feminine
Wheaten with pleasing head. Good mouth & eye. Coat of correct texture.
Just needs a little attention. Moved & showed steadily. Watch her weight. 2.Gut’s LAUREN BACAL DU HARPOUY D
AUZAN. Eyecatching Red shown in her “underwear” today hence her placing. Good
in head with correct mouth & eye. Neat ears. Balanced outline with well
angulated hindquarters which enabled her to cover the ground with ease. Will
watch her progress with interest. JB(1,0) 1.Hogarty’s CADAGIO AS LONG AS YOU HAVE
ME. Another eyecatching Red with balanced outline. Pleasing head &
expression. Clean neck & shoulders. Correct front & rear assembly. In

Lots to like about this bitch. POST GRAD BITCH(2,1) 1.Owen’s CALDWELL CAREFREE. Litter
