GLEN OF IMAAL TERRIER ENTHUSIASTS AND FANCIERS CLUP - Open Show - 5th July 2025 -  CRITIQUE

 

A breed club show is always a true honour to judge, and I had two excellent stewards who were a pleasure to be in the ring with, and all ran smoothly.

Held in conjunction with Boston Ch Show we had excellent facilities and a large ring to move the dogs in. Very much a unique breed to judge and has different construction to any other breed, very much a working terrier developed to do a task, and these breed attributes must be maintained as the breed standard requires. Not a flashy over groomed terrier it is good to see that a devoted group of people still trying to keep the breed on the right track. Pleased that the temperament was excellent and mouths good. Thank you to all who entered today and pleasing that I had no absentees.

​

Puppy D (3) : 1 Saletti’s Jojase Blarney Magic Blue good body length to height, strong in fore face & has good width developing in skull, strong dentition, eyes well set apart, round & brown, moderate in neck length, well laid back shoulders, ribbing is developing & signs of good spring & depth of chest, firm in loin, stands firm in his rear & has a pleasing free easy stride, tail balanced with his conformation & correctly carried, well shaped feet & strong pads, correct coat ; 2 Hardy’s Jojase Brogan Midnight Blue With Amhara another pleasing youngster & I see from catalogue all three are litter brothers. Well shaped head, good strong punishing jaw, well set eye & ears, firm neck & well set shoulders, still needs to fill out in body & develop in muscling but a nice size & correct in length & height ratios, prefer top line of 1 when moving today but could well change places on different days, good coat & condition, well shaped feet ; 3 Saletti’s Jojase Brandon Dark Blue.

​

Junior D (2) : 1 Hannington’s Boudivella Love Story very nice young male who in profile stands with presence & stature, strong jaw & good bite, correct eye & ear set, moderate in neck length, good shoulder & upper arm, correct ribbing & slight rise to loin, strong well muscled thighs, good coat texture, moving out well but then when later in the challenge feel the heat was getting to him ; 2 Pryce’s Canaunbach I Do, slightly less mature in look than 1 but of good overall proportions with nothing exaggerated, liked the width in front & good digging feet, stands with correct top line & then again in profile when moving, well muscled rear & firm hocks, correct coat & workmanlike appearance.

​

Limit D (2) : 1,Kirkwood’s Cascade Can’t Catch Me was for me the best mover in the males today, strong in stature but in no way cumbersome, fit for function & could go all day, skull of good width & strong jaw with firm dentition, correctly set eye & ears, particularly liked his shoulder placement, well shaped feet & thick pads, not a heavy coat but of strong texture, showed himself to advantage to take B.D. & R.B.I.S. ; 2 Hardy’s Amhara Tornado in profile slightly longer cast in body than 1 & would like a shorter loin, pleasing in head proportions & correct bite, well set eye & ears, ribs are well sprung, sound free mover, not in best coat today.

​

Open D (1) : 1 Roger’s Ch Jaunty Dameron Anakin fully mature 5 year old, lovely desirable head & strong neck, lovely broad shoulders & well laid back, well sprung ribs & strong loin but felt carrying a shade excess weight today, strong well set hocks that he uses to push forward with, he was in full coat today. Lovely hard muscular condition which is essential.

​

Veteran D (1) : 1 & R.B.D. Hannington’s Eng & Bel, Dutch Int Ch Esp Ch Boudivella Osca VW, one I have judged & done well before, at 10 years old he can certainly still move and is sound, in very profuse coat today but still had correct texture, well defined stop & strong jaw, tapering muzzle, correct in neck & front is well set, in good hard condition, ribbing well sprung but not barrel like, firm in his rear, well set tail.

​

Puppy B (1) : 1 & B.P. Saletti’s Jojase Bridie True Blue, same litter as the three in puppy d, pushed hard by her brother today but had the edge in her performance & such a lovely temperament helps. Good to see her enjoying the show ring, feminine but no signs of any weakness, workmanlike & look forward to seeing her when matured in body, correct coat & she showed so well, nice free stride.

​

Post Grad B (1) : 1 Kirkwood’s Cascade Coming Around Again not yet 2 and lacking coat today, scored well in movement but feel needs to mature & fill out over her shoulders & ribbing, has strength in her rear & correct feet & thick pads.

​

Limit B (2) : 1 Hannington’s Mo Str Ailin Of Tatler Kack’s Clann At Boudivella pleasing in height & length proportions, strong well defined skull with good ear placement, her eyes are well set apart, medium in size & the desired round shape, firm neck fitting tight in to well set shoulder placement, well bodied & has good rib shape, strong but not over heavy, moved out well & used her rear soundly, correct coat & in hard muscular condition; 2 Kirkwood’s Cascade Betty Boop, in profile prefer length of 1, well shaped head & firm in neck, correct in rib shape but shade long in loin, well shaped feet, correct coat, prefer rear movement of 1.

 

Open B (2) : 1 Pryce’s Cascade And So It Begins up to size but of pleasing balance, strong firm rear & well muscled, correct feet & pads, well set tail carried correctly, like her height to length proportions so gives a good profile stance & moved well both fore & aft, strong and well made construction ; 2 Sage’s Ch Wickholm Bohemian Rhapsody, approaching 6 she still moves well and has good strength all through her construction, prefer the shoulder placement of 1, correct feet & strong pads, good width in her front, well set tail carried correctly, not in her best jacket today.

​

Veteran B (1) : 1 Roger’s Ch Jaunty Jen A New Hope, certainly a case of leave the best to last today, at first thought her rather too heavy in build but when you get your hands on her through her heavy coat the construction is sound & flowing, most lovely head & moderate neck, like the shoulder set & has good width in her front, correct ribbing & arch to loin, at 8 year old she took top position today when I seen her move. B.B. B.I.S. & B.V.
