Championship Show 2008

The Irish Pointer Club’s Ch. Show was held on May 4th at Ballykealy Manor Hotel, Co Carlow. Mrs Pamela Tibbs (Raigmore) travelled from Scotland to judged the show and had an excellent entry with a good number of exhibitors from the UK and Northern Ireland and support from the field trial members at home.

Judge's Critique

It was a pleasure to judge this really friendly show at the beautiful venue of Ballykealy Manor Hotel. Nor could the weather have been any more perfect. I would like to thank the show secretary, Sue Brophy for all her help in making my trip such an enjoyable one and also my hardworking steward, Martin Falsey for keeping me right with the new regulations. Although the variance in type between the dogs from show lines and field trial lines was for the most part quite evident it was great to see the field trial dogs supporting the classes so well.

Puppy Dog (4, 0 absent)

1. Edmondson and Robertshaw’s Crookrise Floyd – lovely youngster of 11 months. Still a bit raw but with a lovely neck and shoulders and good depth for his age. Good head and expression. Moved well. One who I am sure will do well with maturity. Best Puppy in Show.
2. Eldridge’s Bradgate Now or Never – another good youngster with a beautiful head. Nice overall body shape and excellent tailset and tail. Lovely kind eye. Very close up to 1.

Junior Dog (4, 0 absent)

1. Coyle’s Fernhill Pride of Koram – Nice overall type. Well built Good feet. Moved OK
2. Kirwan’s Aughnaclappa Trail Blazer – Bit plainer in head than one. Good deep chest and well muscled. Moved steadily.

Intermediate Dog (2, 1 absent)

1. Dooley and Brophy’s Solid Gold Uranos (AUS) – Although stood alone in this class he is a beautiful dog that really caught my eye. Lovely overall balance with an excellent head. Well constructed dog with grand bend of stifle who really moved round the ring driving from his short hocks. Shown in lovely condition. One I considered for higher honours.

Open Dog (8, 0 absent)

1. Westaway’s Penwest Palamedes – Lovely headed b/w dog with great neck and shoulders. Lovely front and bone. Good bend of stifle Moved well using his tail. Reserve GS Dog
2. Brophy’s Saragresi Classic Point (HUN) – another good dog who challenged the winner hard. Beautiful head and expression with lovely neat ears. Well bodied. Moved well.

Champion Dog (1, 0 absent)

1. Edmondson and Robertshaw’s GB Sh Ch Crookrise Rhum - a dog I have seen from the ringside but one who I personally think needs to be gone over to be appreciated. He is a lovely stylish dog who epitomises strength but grace at the same time. He has a lot of work in his head. Nice neck and great depth. Good sloping pasterns and feet. Shown in good hard condition. Powered round the ring to win this class and take the GS Dog and B.I.S.

Veteran Dog (1, 1 absent)

Field Trial Dog (5, 0 absent)

1. Dalton’s Bone Apart - Lovely headed dog. Good feet and nice stifles leading down to short hocks. Moved well
2. Coyles’ Koram Kadara – Good bodied dog who moved strongly behind. Lovely head and expression.

Puppy Bitch (5, 2 absent)

1. Brady’s Rossenarra legally Blonde – Raw youngster. Good overall shape with well sprung rib. Good head. Neat tail. Moved well behind but a shade wide in front.
2. Josey’s Parkpoint Days of Wine and Roses – Another of nice overall shape and head. Needs more time to mature and get condition.

Junior Bitch (3, 1 absent)

1. Brophy’s Rossenarra Love Me Do – Beautiful bitch who has a lovely outline. Stunning head and expression. Good front with correct sloping pasterns. Great depth for one so young and well sprung rib. Neat tail. Moved well. Although only a youngster her extra sparkle in the challenge gave her the GS Bitch. One who should have a bright future.
2. Fallon’s Fernhill Beauty – youngster who would carry more weight to advantage and in general needs time to mature.

Intermediate Bitch (3, 1 absent)

1. Murphy’s Ikerrin Heather – strongly made bitch who moved well. Nice head. Good depth and feet.
2. Crotty’s Ikerrin Fraoch – Plainer bitch. Moved well behind. Good bend of stifle.

Open Bitch (9, 2 absent)

1. Macmanus’ Crookrise Arran of Luneville – Beautiful headed bitch with such a kind expression. Lovely lines. Great neck. Correct sloping pasterns. Neatest of tails. Just felt she wasn’t giving her all in the challenge. Reserve GS Bitch
2. Westaway’s Penwest Paza – very close up to my winner. Lovely mover. Correct depth. Great bend of stifle. Good head and neat ears.

Champion Bitch (1, 1 absent)

1. Hoffin’s Sh Ch Wilchrimane Worth the Wait to Merrybridge – Good neck, shoulders and depth. Moved OK. Would prefer more bend of stifle and slope in pasterns to complete the picture.

Judge’s Critique

It was a great honour to be invited to judge in Ireland at this well organised show in the lovely surroundings of Ballykealy Manor Hotel.
Firstly I wish to express my thanks to the secretery Mrs Susan Brophy for the warm hospitality and for my excellent steward Martin Falsey who was a great help for me all day. I was thrilled at the excellent entry, it was really complimentary ! Special thanks for the field trial people who showed their dogs to me.
Surprising was how great a difference there was between the show and working type in Ireland, in Europe they aren’t so far from each other.
I was looking for a dished face, all over balance, thoroughbred looking and first of all the true sound pointer movement that never can be hackney action.
