1st Hanlon's
BALNUITH END OF THE STORM AT ACHNAGONLAN
Tall pup, 7mnth, light wheaten brindle. Majority of puppy coat had been recently
stripped out and adult coat coming in was good harsh texture. Long head with rather
low set ears which at times hung flat to face, but could fold correctly much improving
expression. I would prefer a darker eye. Good furnishings, broad chest and nice depth
for age, strong bone, good arch over loin and very long tail. A little upright in
pasterns and rear at moment and lacking drive. Most likely just a stage he’s going
through in development.
1st Heather's WHITEORCHARD AD ASTRA
8mnth, lovely baby girl.
Beautiful dark eye, sweet temperament, looking small but at this age should grow on.
Correct in almost all departments, just a little upright in upperarm and could have a
little more arch over loin. She had large bursas on both elbows but surprisingly
moved soundly in front despite them. Litter sister to BPIS and there really was
nothing to choose between the two. Very hard decision and they could change places
easily.

1st Heather's WHITEORCHARD AURORA
Twin of MPB winner, so all
comments apply to her too, just minus the bursas, a very pretty little pup. In the
challenge for BPIS, she really drove from behind around the ring, and this was the
deciding factor. Too much of a baby still to challenge the adult winners, but I expect
her and her sister to win at the highest level in a few yrs.

1st Dawson's
RED ROCK CANYON OF KING HOWARD LEGENDS
OF SHALICO (IMP FRA)
16 mnth. I loved this youngster. Big cream
dog, excellent bone and angulation, good depth, long back with arch over loin, nice
sloped shoulder, short hocks and cat paws, long tail, beautiful furnishings, dark eye
and expression, and great reach of neck. Possibly a little too steep fall away at croup
if I was really nit-picking. He is going to take a little time to really come together and
movement was a little untidy as is typical with big youngsters, but I have no doubt he
will finish very well given time and I would expect him to collect many more prizes
when mature. Lovely boy.
2nd Barnes's HAZIANNE'S LAW ENFORCER
16 mnth, so same
age as first but actually appeared more mature. Nice dark eye and neatly curled ear,
good depth and spring of rib, correct coat. Unfortunately, a little upright and
knuckling over at near front pastern and not moving soundly on it, possibly
aggravated by a not yet recovered bursa on that elbow.
1st Forret's
VALKIRIA DELLA BASSA PAVESE AT CULVERCROFT (IMP ITA)
14Mnth. Very nice curvy young bitch,
with good reach of neck, lovely furnishings, correct curled ear, coat and angulation.
Movement was a little untidy, throwing her legs around a bit, but with great reach.
Very promising.
Yearling Dog (1 entry)
Yearling Bitch (6 entries, 2 absent)
1st Severn-Kumar's GAELMARQUE RUSSET ROMAN
19 mnth but looks younger as yet. Good neck and
shoulder, broad chest but lacking in depth still and arch over loin. The depth of chest
should come with maturity. Adequate bone and good paws and tail. Rather plain head
and flat ear. Moved soundly. Just needs time.
1st Forret's
VALKIRIA DELLA BASSA PAVESE AT CULVERCROFT (IMP ITA)
See above
2nd Bruce's KILLOUGHERY TALIA
Workmanlike type, not flashy,
adequate angulation in front but standing a little straight behind and moving close in
rear going away.

Res Gregory's KILLOUGHERY KHAOS
Novice Dog (4 entries, 1 absent)
Novice Bitch (5 entries, 2 absent)
All dogs in this class were
2yrs old.
1st Fox's NEWDIGATE MARLON BRANDO
Very tall red dog. Excellent depth
of chest, good coat and furnishings, ears hanging flat instead of correct rosebud, nice
reach of neck and long tail. Rather upright in front through pasterns and upper arm,
but adequate angulation behind. Moved steadily.
2nd Bradley's GLENGAIL HHEDWIG
Nice workmanlike dog with good lay back of shoulder, reach of neck and forechest,
but knuckling over at the pastern and bursa on elbow affecting movement. Would
prefer darker eye and more arch over loin, but had good bite, coat, furnishings and
tail.
3rd Grimwood's BONAFORTES VALHALLA
1st Fox's NEWDIGATE DORIS DAY (AI)
2yrs. Beautiful litter sister to ND winner, but very different type. Very feminine,
elegant bitch, all flowing lines, excellent head and expression, neat ear, long neck,
good layback of shoulder and upperarm, great depth of chest and angulation behind.
For perfection could maybe have a little more length of leg. Lovely hound.

1st Bruce's GOLDSWIFT LEAP OF FAITH
4yr almost
5, and she was clearly very bored and hot! Nice bitch otherwise of good type, correct
coat, angulation, furnishings, tail carriage, etc, but her handler had to work very hard
to get her to trot and hence she was moving untidily a little wide in front and close
behind. I really couldn’t blame her in that heat.
Limit Dog (3 entries)
Limit Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
1st Grimwood's BONAFORTES MELDREW
I was surprised he was not overqualified for a limit show at 5yrs. Possibly a late maturer. Lovely light red dog, nicely balanced all through, beautiful head, furnishings and kind eye. Good top and underline, nice short hocks, correct angulation front and back, tight cat paws and long tail. Close decision later in BD challenge. I expect him to win many more prizes.
2nd Barnes's HAZIANNE PARTIAL ECLIPSE
3yrs. Good coat texture, bite and rose ear, correct top and underline, adequate bone and angulation. Unfortunately overweight.
3rd Hanlon's RANFURLEY PRINCE OVER ACHNAGONLAN (IKC)
1st Gregory & Warwick's CAIRNSTORM KEEPSAKE
Just 2yr old but very mature and finished. She
reminded me very much of a female version of my first champion. Good substance
and bone, correct coat, ear, bite, furnishings, dark eye, balanced angulations, nothing
exaggerated about her. A little more length maybe for absolute perfection, but the
most impressive thing was her movement. She powered round the ring with the very
best driving hind movement of the day to take BIS. Possibly the very light coloured
dogs fared better in the heat than the dark coated ones. Whatever, she stood out as
super fit going round.
2nd Fox's BARRASSY'S COPYRIGHT JW
2yr. Lovely bitch of good
type. Nicely sloped shoulder and upperarm, great depth, angulation and furnishings.
Flat ear detracted a little and just lost out on slightly untidy hind movement, but a real
contender.
3rd Say's CAREDIG ALIS OVER LYNELOUPER
Open Dog (2 entries)
Open Bitch (1 entry, 1 absent)
1st Das Purkayastha's BALLYPHELAN ASANSOL AMONG NECKREBAGH
4yrs. I was surprised again to see an adult dog of this quality was not overqualified for a limit show. Beautiful dog with all the right proportions, flowing lines all through, exactly the type I like. There really was not anything I faulted him on in stance, but possibly due to his dark coat soaking up the sunlight, he really was not happy in the intense heat and though he moved soundly, he was very reluctant and lethargic. I worried at first he may be suffering heatstroke. He was more enthusiastic in the challenge for BD.
2nd Pateman's GAELTARRA EIREANN GALEN (IMP NLD)
Nice type balanced all through, great furnishings. Holding ears flat and looked like he had a gum infection when checked teeth, but correct in all other points. Slightly untidy movement, particularly going away.
