Puppy Dog or Bitch (2 entries)

1^st

Gibson ERIKACHEN SAOIRSE DEARG
11 month bitch, excellent profile standing, good height for age. Shown in hard condition for a youngster. Correct head but slightly preferred head on 2, ear-set and shape correct, moderate stop, eye and nose in keeping with coat. Strong muzzle and not loose in the flews. Good dentition on both. Good length of neck into correct shoulders. Enough bone and substance at this time. Carried an excellent topline both standing and moving. Deep enough in rib and strong loin. Croup and tailset good

2^nd

Gibson ERIKACHEN ORLAITH DEARG
litter sister to 1, also sound but preferred the hardness of 1. Another good head type and preferred the ear movement on 2. Very similar to 1 in bone and substance, but preferred the topline on 1. Movement not quite as energetic as 1 but straight and sound. Excellent feet. Both in good coat but preferred coat on 1.

1^st

Elkin TOLLELKIN WATER DANCER
Bitch at just over 2 years old, shown in hard condition. Attractive head, excellent type. Good ear set and use, I liked her muzzle and tight flews. Good dentition. Strong neck but would've like a touch more length. Well muscled shoulder of correct lay and angulation. Correct amount of substance for age. Deep rib to elbow and enough out front. Would like a stronger held topline. Rear is well muscled and correctly angulated. A little fidgety on the stand but moved out with purpose, straight and displaying good drive.

Strevens SH CH ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW SHCM
3 year old Male I have watched develop headed a very good class with some quality dogs. Shown in tip-top condition, in a darker shade of coat. Excellent profile when stood. Excellent head, correct in skull, lovely high ear set and used them well. Deep muzzle with tight flews and excellent dentition. Enough neck, strong well laid shoulders, ample substance and in hard condition. Deep, long ribs and plenty of brisket. Short, strong loin and an excellent topline. Tail set and carriage good. Rear quarters in hard condition, upper thigh deep and correct in stifle. Movement straight and true coming and going. Profile movement excellent. Lovely tight and round feet too. Pushed by 2 but worthy BOB and later Gundog Group 2.

3 Year old Male who I have judged before and pushed 1 for the class. Another shown in excellent condition. Hard and well muscled throughout. Excellent head type, with good ear set, eye, stop and muzzle. Not quite as tight in flew as 1. Good neck length and strong. Another with excellent angulation front and rear, deep ribs, short strong loin. Carrying an excellent topline. Excellent tail set and carriage.
