Irish Setter Club of Victoria Championship Shows
The Irish Setter Club of Victoria enjoys the largest membership and it is acknowledged that its Championship Show is the most prestigious as it is host to the largest assembly of irish setters in Australia.
Serious breeders and exhibitors have it earmarked as their ‘go to’ show on their calendar as it boasts competition from many of the States around the Country.
This annual fixture is respected and utilised as the vehicle for showcasing of new baby puppies as well as the current top show dogs. It is also ideal for the opportunity of viewing specimens for prospective stud purposes.
It is generally considered the Victorian championship show is the equivalent of the American or Canadian ‘National’ championship show.
The Irish Setter Club of Victoria – as does The Irish Setter Association of NSW – endeavours to appoint breed specialty judges, usually from overseas to adjudicate.
.
Below are full results from the last two years – also critiques from last year & some previous years. In addition, the list of all the winners of the Irish Setter Club of Victoria’s Championship shows follows.

MRS LINDA MILLMAN CRITIQUE
First, let me thank you for allowing me to judge your Specialty. I found the quality of the exhibits to be very high. It was so much fun judging so many lovely dogs. A special thanks to my ring steward and photographer. Finally, thank you for the gift of lovely photo book of Australia, it has a prominent place on my coffee table.
Baby Puppy Dog Class
1st Eireannmada Paradise Lost (AI)
This puppy excelled in breed type, style and outline. He had a lovely balanced head, nice neck into shoulders, and firm top line. His well laid back shoulder balanced his well let down stifle. He moved very well and had excellent reach and drive. I was very impressed with this young fellow. I would love to see him in a few years as I believe he will be a show stopper. I really loved this puppy.
2nd Eireannmada Richard Thomas
This boy was also a lovely puppy. His head was clean with nice planes. He had a nice outline, good top line and nice bend of stifle. His shoulder placement was not as well laid back as the first place puppy. He moved well and had nice style. I think this puppy will be a lovely adult.
3rd Gwyndara New Sensation
This puppy was balanced in outline and was also of good type. He was nicely proportioned and was fairly sound. His head planes were not as level nor as balanced as the first and second place puppies but his head was pleasing.
Minor Puppy Dog Class
1st Eirean Pure Vagabond (AI)
This puppy had nice balance and moved fairly well. His head was pleasing and had good ear placement. His upper arm was a bit short placing his front assembly more forward which shortened his reach.
Puppy Dog Class
1st Eirean Pure Genius (AI)
This puppy dog had a nicely balanced head and good ear placement. He had a fairly good front with good pro sternum. He was a bit high in croup and could use a stronger thigh and more bend of stifle. He moved soundly.
Junior Dog Class
1st Brodruggan Outback Jack
This young males head was balanced with fairly good head planes. His shoulder was upright but he has a fairly good let down of stifle. I found he was long in body with a rounded in croup
Intermediate Dog Class
1st Solasdas Copper Field
I found this dog to have a good pro sternum, lovely mahogany coat that was in excellent condition. His head was fairly balanced with good ear placement but could use a little more muzzle. His rear angulation was moderate and good tail placement. I found him upright in shoulder and long in body.
Australian Bred Dog Class
1st Eirean Frozen Dream (AI)
This dog was overall nicely balanced. He had a very pleasing head with good plains and nice ear placement. His shoulder was fairly well laid back and had Moderate bend of stifle. He moved well and held a firm top

My first place dog has a lovely overall outline. His head was balanced and masculine. Good neck into shoulder and a strong top line. His shoulder laid back and front assembly well under himself. He had correct tail placement, strong thigh and nice let down of stifle which balanced his correct front. When he moved he did so with ease of motion with good reach and drive. He has lovely overall breed type.
2nd Ch Cairncross Concierge With Tullane (Imp USA)
My second place dog was also a lovely male. His head was lean and balanced with no depth of skull and correct ear placement and was a little more refined than the first place dog. His neck into shoulder was not as smooth as the first place dog as he was a bit upright in shoulder. He has a firm top line and correct tail placement and carriage. He has a strong rear with good let down of stifle. On the move he covered ground well but did not have the reach of the first place dog. This dog is stylish and a wonderful example of the breed.

MRS DEBBIE DAVIS CRITIQUE
I would like to thank the club for inviting me to judge your Specialty. I have always admired the Australian Irish Setters and was so excited when I got the invitation to come to Australia to do your Specialty, which enabled me to see them in person.
I loved my line-up of dogs and bitches and thank the membership for supporting the show. I wish everyone the best of luck with your baby puppies that I got to judge since they are your future stars. I look forward to seeing how my Challenge Dog and Challenge Bitch do in the future. I feel they both will have a great show career coming their way.
Again, thank you for your hospitality and friendship.
Debbie Davis

Baby Puppy Dog
What a pleasure to judge puppies under 6 months old, they were lovely.
1 Cueunaich Sherlock Holmes (Delmenico)
Balanced puppy with good front and rear assembly, moves with a strong top line with good reach and drive. Would like a little more stop which may come with age.
2 Eireannmada Rockstar (Browne)
Very similar in type of the 1st puppy, a little shorter in rib cage than the 1st, balanced moving. Prefer the tail set and tail carriage of 1st.
3 Pendoric Smoke N Fire (Hearn)
Has begun to go up on leg and not at the same stage of development as the 1st & 2nd. Has a nice front and rear assembly.
Minor Puppy Dog
Withdrawn – Pendoric Foggy Perfection (Lindberg)
Puppy Dog
1 Eireannmada Kingford Smith (Browne)
A single entry in this class. A tall, dark young man with a nice head. I would like to see more angle front and rear, but this may change with time.

A single entry in this class. A nice dog with a good front assembly with a wonderful head with a correct eye. Would like a little more drive in the rear when moving.
Intermediate Dog
1 Ch Pendoric Red N Ragin (Fry)
A well-balanced dog with good front and rear assembly and forechest. Head planes are very nice with good depth of muzzle. Moves very well with a good reach and drive. The tail carriage distracted from otherwise a pleasing picture.
2 Ch Brodruggan Perfect Encor (Bird)
Nice dark dog with front and rear angulation a little less than the 1st place dog. Could use a little more length in ribcage. Carries a nice topline and moved efficiently.
3 Tahtan Cutting Edge (Hunt/Finlaison)
Lovely head with a good neck to shoulder. I preferred the proportion within the body of the 1st & 2nd dogs.
Australian Bred Dog
1 Brodruggan Rogue Trader (Stewart)
Nicely balanced dog with good forechest, nice neck to shoulder and topline. Would like to see a more almond shaped eye, which is critical in the expression of the irish setter. Movement was good, would like a little more muscling in rear.
2 Ch Eireannmada Riverdance (Fall/Browne)
Nicely balanced dog. Well presented. The steep croup detracted from an overall picture of the dog. Moved well – again more muscling in the rear will help with the overall picture.
Open Dog
1 Gr Ch Tullane Tempranillo (Paine)
A dark masculine dog in good show condition. Well balanced, good forechest with balanced front and rear assembly. Lovely head that is long and lean with good planes. His long neck sets well into the shoulders and has well sprung ribs. Moves very effortlessly with great reach and drive. He is a very stand out dog. Well deserved of the Dog Challenge.
2 Ch Brodruggan Temptation (Stewart)
A handsome dog, with very good balance. Also has a nice length of neck that sets well into the shoulders. I prefer the length of rib cage on the 1st dog. In movement he did not cover as much ground as 1st place dog.
3 Aust & NZ Ch Setterlands Tamburello at Pendoric (Hearn/Heskett)
A nice dog, with good front assembly, with good forechest. Moved nicely around the ring. I preferred the overall balance of my 1st and 2nd place dogs.
Veteran Dog (7-10 years)
1 Ch Glengray Wyndchymer (Gray)
A wonderful gray face. Looked like he was enjoying the dog. Pretty head with good planes. Nicely balanced dog with good front and rear assembly. Used his legs well when going around the ring.
Veteran Dog (over 10 years)
1 Ch Daisymont Boston Redsox (Daisymont Kennels)
A wonderful veteran who looks great for his age. Nice long lean head with a good front assembly. Was wonderful to watch going around the ring.
The dog challenge class assembled and it was a lovely lineup. My Challenge Dog was a standout and it went to my Open Dog with my Reserve Dog to my Intermediate Dog.
Dog Challenge : Gr Ch Tullane Tempranillo (Paine)

Baby Puppy Bitch
What a wonderful group of little girls, so mature for their age and lovely to go over.
1 Eireannmada Queen of Rock (Browne)
A wonderful puppy with good bone, lovely headpiece and a soft expression. The length of neck flows smoothly into her shoulders. Nice balanced puppy with correct front and rear assembly and covers the ground well with lots of confidence in the ring.
2 Eireannmada Rock N Robin (Browne)
A lovely head with good planes and expression. Prefer the bone and length of body of the 1st puppy. The neck also fits nicely into the shoulders, as the 1st puppy. Good front and rear assembly and also moves nicely, with confidence in the ring.
3 Eireannmada Rock Me (Browne)
Has begun to come up on leg more than the 1st and 2nd place puppies. As a pretty head and is also nice in length of neck, which fits well into the shoulders. Prefer the depth of stifle on the 1st and 2nd place puppies.
Minor Puppy Bitch
1 Eireannmada Joie De Vivre (Robinson/Browne)
An elegant puppy with good bone, a pretty long lean head with a soft expression and good planes. The neck flows nicely into the shoulders with good depth of chest and a nice long ribcage. Her front and rear assembly are balanced which makes her move effortlessly around the ring covering lots of ground. She gives you the overall picture of balance. Would take her home in a heartbeat. Well deserved of the Challenge Bitch.
2 Eireannmada Fleur De Lis (Browne)
Another beautiful puppy with a nice head with a soft expression and is good neck to shoulder. Good front and rear assembly and moves with coverage of ground. I preferred the proportion within the body of the 1st bitch.
3 Eireannmada Alouetta (Browne/Wheatley)
A nice dark puppy that has began to come up on leg more than the 1st & 2nd puppies. She has pretty head, with good length of neck that fits well into the shoulders. Prefer the length of body of the 1& 2. Carries herself very well around the ring with purpose.
Puppy Bitch
1 Eireannmada Amelia Earhart (Browne)
Nice puppy with a lovely head and good topline. She has a lovely front assembly, with good forechest. The depth of stifle takes away overall picture of balance.
Junior Bitch
1 Cairncross Flirting with Tullane (Paine)
Pretty bitch that has a good front assembly and forechest. Has a pretty head, with a nice expression, and a long neck that fits well into her shoulders. Good depth of chest with elbows well under her. Her body proportions brought her rear too far under her in the move, which did not let her have the free and easy stride I would prefer.
2 Nauvoo at Sienna (Scott/Atkinson)
Nice bitch, good bone, with a long neck that fits well into the shoulders. I prefer the overall picture of the 1st bitch.
3 Ornac R U Talkn to Me (Underwood)
Nice bitch with a lovely head that enjoyed her day in the ring.
Intermediate Bitch
1 Ch Brodruggan Dancing Doll (Sullivan)
A lovely bitch with good type. Has a nice front assembly and rib spring. The neck fits nicely into the shoulders and moves nicely, covering ground well around the ring.
2 Ch Rhiannon Irish Treasure (Scott)
A nice bitch with a good head and pretty expression. When moving she covers ground well. Prefer the front assembly and rib spring of the 1st bitch.
3 Ch Ornac Behold N It Now (Underwood)
A different style bitch with a nice head and expression. Preferred the proportions within the body of the 1st & 2nd bitch.
Australian Bred Bitch
1 Ch Eireannmada Song O Praise (Browne)
A balanced lovely bitch with good substance. Has a lovely head with a soft expression. Has a significant forechest and front assembly & moves nicely on her legs covering the ground well.
2 Ch Pendoric Perfect Angel (Hearn/Baker)
A nice bitch, more up on leg than the 1st place bitch. Has a nice topline and tail set. Prefer the upper arm length of the 1st bitch. Moved nicely.
3 Ch Brodruggan Iridescence (Bird)
Taken by her head – nice expression with good planes. Preferred the proportions within the body of the 1st and 2nd place bitches.
Open Bitch
1 Ch Rhiannon Resplendence (Scott)
An elegant bitch, with a pretty head with good planes. Would like to see a more almond shaped eye which is critical in the expression of the irish setter. Has a good front assembly with good depth of chest and rib spring. Neck fits nicely into the shoulders. Nice topline and tail set, with good rear assembly. She moves well around the ring covering ground well.
2 Ch Tahtan Forbiden Fruit (Finlaison)
A pretty bitch with nice long neck that fits nicely into the shoulders. Good front and rear assembly. Prefer the head and length of body of the 1st bitch. She moves nicely around the ring covering ground well.
3 Ch Pendoric Fire Anythyme (Hearn)
Nice bitch with a pretty head and eye. Has a good front assembly with good shoulder layback. Good rear assembly and moves well around the ring. Prefer the proportions within the body of the 1st and 2nd bitch.
Veteran Bitch (7-10 years)
1 Ch Eireannmada Marie Claire (Browne)
This wonderful old face melted my heart, has a beautiful head and good planes with a soft expression. She has a wonderful front and rear assembly. Is smooth neck to shoulder and still moves well around the ring.
2 Ch Ornac Oops Forda Gossips ET (Underwood)
Has a pretty head with a lovely old expression. Nice front assembly. Preferred the overall balance of the 1st bitch.
The Challenge class came in and it was lovely lineup and I was pleased with my picks.
On the go around my eye went to the Open Bitch and the Minor Puppy. My decision for the Challenge Bitch came down to first type and second soundness in movement.
I picked the Minor Puppy because of her beautiful type, ground covering movement, strong topline and soundness on her down and back and Reserve Challenge Bitch went to my Open Bitch.

Critiques
The following are various critiques by officiating judges at past Irish Setter Club of Victoria’s Championship Shows. I believe they are of interest as the judges’ comments are of many of the dogs of today’s ancestors.
IRISH SETTER CLUB OF VICTORIA
39th CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW – November 5th 2000
Judge: Mrs Celeste Gavin (USA) (Gabhantyr)
My overall opinion – Since you have a smaller gene pool to work with than we do in America, it is hard to believe your dogs are as wonderful as I found them to be.
From baby puppy dog to veterans there wasn’t a class that disappointed me. Your dogs are probably overall the best group of Irish I have ever judged.
Again thank you for the privilege of putting my hands on your glorious Irish. It was a day that will always hold a special place in my heart.
I must also mention to all of you that belong to the Irish that I judged, I loved meeting every one of you. If any of you visit Florida please come to my home.

~~~~~~~~
Baby Puppy dog
What a pleasure to begin my judging with two such nice Irish puppies.
1st – Eireannmada Prince Harry
Very stylish puppy on the move, and pleasant to go over.
2nd – Kiltimagh Celtic Mist
Balanced puppy, I really liked this one as well but the first asked for the win.
Minor Puppy dog
1st – Ornac Redhot Redemption
He had a lovely topline and was the best mover of the two.
Very nice front to rear.
2nd – Corrimeala Winters Tale
More forechest than one but he did not behave as
well as my first placed puppy. It was difficult to
evaluate his movement.
First place was more my type.
Puppy dog
1st – Ornac Redhot Raymaker
More my style better length of body and tail set.
2nd – Corrimeala Trumpet Major
I would like a better shoulder angle and tail set.
Junior Dog
1st – Eireannmada House O Kent
A really lovely dog, very balanced. My favourite the minute I saw him and he did not let me down on the move.
2nd – Taraglen Renaissance
Very nice dog, less of him than the first.
3rd – Eirean Pembath
I liked this dog in the body but he was badly behaved on the stack, which made it difficult to evaluate him. Slightly broader in skull than I like.
Intermediate Dog
1st – Saxony’s Evening Tide (imp USA)
Very sound and stylish on the move, nice tail set and let down of rear. A little straighter in front and shorter bodied than I like.
2nd Daisymont Boston Red Sox
I really loved the body on this dog. It was a hard decision but this dog had a wider skull than pleases me.
3rd – Ch Eireannmada Prince O Wales
Very pretty on the stack, not quite as good in front movement as other two, and just a bit heavier over the top of the shoulder.
Australian Bred Dog
1st – Ch Gwyndara Total Eclipse (AI)
Beautiful type, very much my kind of dog. His head was lovely. He stole my heart from the minute I laid eyes on him and knew if he could move he would win the class, and he moved wonderfully.
2nd – Ch Kiltimagh Mahogany Morn
Very good type more side reach than one.
3rd – Ch Eireannmada America’s Cup
I loved the side movement on this dog, as he really covered the ground. But he was not as good up and back as the other two.
Open Dog
1st – Ch Tullane Fiery Thyme
In profile from nose to tip of his tail a glorious picture. Smoothly balanced. Wonderfully long muzzled, I love this dog standing. I would like just a bit of the Irish pizzazz on the move, although he covered the ground very efficiently.
2nd – Ch Gwyndara Montpelier (AI)
Exciting type overall, similar to the Australian bred, more fire on the move than my winner.
3rd – Ch Irishmoor Ketari (AI)
Nicely balanced, good upper arm. Lovely dog.
Veteran Dog
I love the veterans and neither one of these veterans let me down, both wonderful dogs.
1st – Ch Pendoric Pandemonium (AI)
I found the head and arch of neck on my first place more pleasing and very balanced in the body.
2nd – Ch Eireannmada at Harvard
I liked this dog’s movement especially his side movement, He really covered the ground.
Dog Challenge: Ch. Tullane Fiery Thyme
My open dog had already won my heart and was an easy choice as I had loved him standing and he moved with more of the Irish spirit than in the beginning.
Reserve Challenge: Eireannmada House O Kent
My Australian bred and second in open were much alike in type, although I liked the Aust bred better. My junior dog though young was handsome and he fit in type with the winner. This choice was very difficult and on another day could have gone the other way.
~~~~~
Baby Puppy Bitch
Both lovely puppies. Both of these, just like my baby dogs were great puppies and so well trained.
1st – Kiltimagh Rains Reprint
My first place puppy had great shoulder and upper arm angulation. A wonderful head.
2nd – Pendoric Pretty Special
Nice neck into shoulders.
Minor Puppy Bitch
1st – Ornac Redhot Reason
Overall best bodied, nice neck into shoulder, moved and carried herself very well for her age.
2nd – Ornac Redhot Rhyme
I liked her head best of the three.
3rd – Corrimeala Vanity Fair
She was squarer overall, not quite long enough for me.
Puppy Bitch
1st – Gwyndara La Vida Loca
Beautifully put together, not well behaved and loose mover.
2nd – Corrimeala Country Girl
This was better behaved, but slightly squarer than I like
Junior bitch
A lovely class
1st – Tullane Whytwokay Okay
This bitch caught my eye immediately, a wonderful smooth body from the back of her skull to the tip of her tail. Elegant both standing and moving. I loved her head.
2nd – Nauvoo Too Fat To Skate
I almost cried when I saw this bitch, I had to look away. She had the look of the old second generation Meadowlarks from the seventies. Sound well balanced, but different in type to 1or 3.
3rd – Tullane Ateicol Dotcom
Looked very much like my first placed bitch, but a little heavier headed and rangier in the body than one.
Intermediate bitch
1st – Brechins Dare to Dream
Nice bitch, overall smooth and well balanced in front and rear.
2nd – Ardglen Don’t Dilly Dally
Similar to one good type and also well balanced.
3rd – Rhiannon Devorgilla
More compact than one or two with a good outline.
Australian Bred bitch
A hard class to judge.
1st – Ch Brechins Bliss
A pretty head with good side movement.
2nd – Ch Gwyndara Hearts on Fire (AI)
Better in shoulder than one but with a slightly stronger head.
3rd – Eireannmada Southern Belle
Again a pretty, overall balanced bitch.
Open bitch
1st – Ch Brechins Remember Me
Lovely body with good length of neck into shoulder.
2nd – Ch Tullane Thesis By Design
A better head than one but I liked one overall the best, nevertheless a wonderful bitch.
3rd – Ch Gwyndara You wear it well (AI)
A pretty outline on this bitch.
Veteran bitch
I almost cried all the way through this class, those grey faces tug at my heart.
1st – GR Ch Pendoric Fire N Ice (AI)
Just a wonderful type, head and arch of neck blew me away. She flew across the ring never once showing her age.
2nd – Ch Rosslare From a Distance (AI)
Great head super bitch a little shorter coupled than one.
3rd – Gr Ch Irishacre Summer Sheelin
Boy could she go, never showing her age, but she did not give me her best on the stack, still I would be proud to own her.
Bitch Challenge : Grand Ch. Pendoric Fire’ N’ Ice-
This was probably the hardest for me to judge. My veteran bitch was just super both standing and moving. Her arch of neck is probably the final thing that made me choose her, and, of course her maturity.
Reserve Challenge : Tullane Whytwokay Okay
I was crazy about the outline of this bitch, a wonderful flashy bitch with a beautiful feminine head. She was very close to beating the veteran bitch for the points. I would love to see her in a year from now.
I must also mention the minor puppy bitch as I seriously considered her too. She was dark in colour had a beautiful carriage and was very sound. She is another I would like to see upon maturing.
Best of breed –
Almost impossible to judge. I would have been happier if I could have given it to both. Since this was not possible, the fabulous outline of the dog won out.

THE IRISH SETTER CLUB OF VICTORIA
38TH CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW – 31 OCTOBER 1999
MRS EDYTH LANGHAM-GOODWIN* (Shelomith)
To be invited to judge one’s own breed at a Specialty Show I consider a great honour and this was, indeed, the case on 31 October 1999 when I judged Specials at the Irish Setter Club of Victoria’s 38th Championship Show.
The path to this judging appointment commenced over sixty (60) years ago when my parents selected a show quality Irish Setter puppy. All my life I have been accompanied by a parade of Irish setters.
This year our showday was not perfect for showing Irish but I was impressed by the beautiful exhibits and their presentation – the breed glows with style.
(* Mrs Langham Goodwin judged General Specials at this show)
Best Baby Puppy in Show (Tullane Ateicol Dotcom)
Such presence for a baby. Very stylish, racy, moved with confidence. A pretty picture.
Opposite Sex Baby Puppy (Eireannmada ?)
Very much a baby. Lovely colour, nice head but really too early to evaluate. Too small and not used to leading to see movement.
Best Minor Puppy (Taraglen Poldark)
Outstanding puppy. Shows great promise. Loved his attitude, nice balance, neck, head and movement.
Opposite Sex Minor Puppy (Rhiannon Devorgilla)
Still very immature – dog puppy outshone this little bitch at this stage. Pleasant type.
Best Puppy in Show (Martinridge Victorywaltz)
Opposite sex Puppy in Show (Martinridge Vintage Crop)
These two puppies were very close overall nice specimens. Well balanced, good heads, moved well for their age. The bitch on the day had more elegance and style for me. I learned later they were brother & sister. I’m sure the dog will develop well.
Junior Dog (Saxonys Evening Tide (Imp USA)
Very exciting and interesting junior – great presence; should mature into a very eyecatching dog. Lacks maturity, coat and weight – all of which will come.
Opposite Sex Junior in Show (Daisymont Utah Jazz)
I liked this bitch – very feminine. Also should mature into a lovely specimen. This class was very close. Overall the bitch may have better qualities but lacked the eyecatching spirit of the dog. She was overshadowed in the final count.
Best Intermediate in Show (Ch Tullane Thesis By Design)
Such an exquisite and elegant bitch – lovely outline, very feminine, a pity she was out of coat – however this only brought out her stylish body.
Opposite Intermediate in Show (Eireannmada Princeowales)
Very nice dog. He lacked a little maturity – still a little gangly. Overall an interesting specimen. I feel, particularly for Irish dogs, 18 months is often the hardest time. They are neither puppy or mature dog and so much is expected from them. This boy will be an even more pleasing specimen in six months time.
Australian Bred In Show (Ch Eireannmada Times Square)
A worthy winner of this award. A beautiful dog, balanced and presented in perfect bloom – a joy in the ring even in blustery conditions – steady and easy to watch.
Opposite Aust Bred (Eireannmada Repartee)
Pleasing bitch, balanced and again overshadowed by the dog.
Best Open in Show (Ch Tullane Fiery Thyme)
An eyecatching animal presented to perfection.
Opposite Open in Show (Ch Quailmoor Capucci)
I didn’t judge – BIS was Open and was “automatic”, however, she was a lovely typey bitch, beautifully presented.
Best Veteran in Show (Gr Ch Brodruggan Far and Away CD)
This exhibit moved around the ring superbly, certainly not as one is used to seeing veterans move. A well balanced, not exaggerated dog in excellent condition.
Opposite Veteran in Show (Ch Marigold Maximum Delight)
What a veteran – a beautiful specimen. Gave away a little to the dog in movement and overall bloom – a faded beauty, almost too beautiful not to win.
These veterans play a most important part in a Specialty Show.
A reminder for we breeders and judges not to get carried away with latest fads but look carefully at the greats of yesterday and remember the Irish were bred to work all day in Irish conditions. I acknowledge the dogs of yesteryear perhaps would not have won at today’s shows and the current Irish has developed into a spectacular and glorious creature, but the standard still requests a beautiful head, soft expression, good movement and sound animal.
Best Exhibit in Show – Ch Tullane Fiery Thyme
This dog filled the eye – a picture of beauty standing. I’m sure he fulfils most expectations of an Irish Setter. Shown in full bloom, handled superbly. I was delighted with the best exhibit.
Runner Up & Opposite Sex in Show – Ch Tullane Thesis By Design
They complimented each other – very hard for an out of coat bitch to win over a mature dog in perfect bloom, no matter how sweet the bitch. This told in the final evaluation. She is still a very pretty bitch and it was not a walkover – she gave him a run for his money!
Thank you for giving me the honour of judging Specials at this Show – a memory I shall always treasure.
Edyth Langham Goodwin
THE IRISH SETTER CLUB OF VICTORIA
46TH CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2007
MRS RITA PIKE (Scarletti Irish Setters)
Firstly I would like to thank the Society for inviting me to judge this special show.
It was my first visit to Australia and although not quite welcomed by the legendary Australian sunshine it did prove to be a memorable visit.
The Irish Setter is markedly different to the type shown in the UK notably the difference in head type; some were really plain and hound like. The size and shape differ immensely and I found most too large and exaggerated. Coat colour is much lighter than in the UK although the feathering is profuse and I congratulate the exhibitors on the excellent presentation of their charges.
One thing that bothered me was the gripping of the root of the tail and thrusting the dog forwards, apart from being most uncomfortable to the dog it does nothing for the front angulation of the exhibit especially if it already fails in that area.
Another pointer I noticed was weakness in pasterns causing the exhibits to pin in and appear flat footed. No bad temperaments on the day they were a delight to handle.
BABY PUPPY DOG
1ST MARTINRIDGE WORK O ART (Martin)
Stood alone in this class. Four months old baby. Has promising topline and croup and well bent stifles, his head need to break. He moved OK.
PUPPY DOG
1st PENDORIC RED N RAGIN (Fry)
A striking puppy with a nice head, would like a little more stop but he is just a baby, good front and depth, a little long cast, he has well bent stifles and lovely dark coat very well grown he showed and moved well.
2nd GWYNDARA ONE MAN SHOW (A1) (Jones)
Larger type than 1st so not quite there in his movement yet, needs to tighten in front and strengthen in pasterns, movement unsteady. I am sure he will grow into himself. Looks well in profile.
3rd AMHURST YNOT WAYBACK WHEN (Howd)
A little unsettled today in the cold surroundings, I liked his head difficult to assess his qualities.
JUNIOR DOG
1ST EIREAN FROZEN MAGIC (Whittington)
Nice dark coated well feathered youngster, quite short coupled. I would like more shoulder angulation. Good feet and short hocks he made use of the big ring.
INTERMEDIATE DOG
1ST Aust/NZ Ch SETTERLANDS TAMBURELLO AT PENDORIC (Imp NZ) (Hearn) What a glamour boy – handsome, stylish, well balanced, striking dog with shoulder angulation. He showed a clean pair of heels when moving around the ring. Beautifully presented with a super handler. Reserve CC.
2nd MARTINRIDGE ACAPULCO (Martin)
Liked this dog too nice head and eye he has nice depth and well ribbed, looked a picture standing but not quite as positive as the winner.
3rd CH LINLEYMVOURNE NOTTINGHAM (Lovell)
Liked his head, dark coated dog shorter coupled that 1st and 2nd. Looked a bit unbalanced on the back end, he moved well his handler certainly worked hard to get this place. Good rapport between dog and handler.
AUSTRALIAN BRED DOG
1st EIREANNMADA RIVERDANCE (Fall & Browne)
Liked this dog, well presented good looking boy. Thought him quite handsome and balanced (when not overstretched). Would have liked a cleaner croup. He was one of the more positive movers today with good tail carriage.
2nd DUNLOE HOT FUDGE (Middleton)
Nice type of dog but moving a little loose in front today and pinning in. Also lifted his tail on the move. Liked his head and he was in gleaming condition.
3rd GRD CH BRODRUGGAN THE DUBLINER (Lovell)
Different type to 1st and 2nd. He has a nice head and eye, strong neck into reasonable front assembly. Unfortunately he was not in such good coat but what he was wearing was dark and gleaming. Very good mover.
OPEN DOG
1st CH BRODRUGGAN TEMPTATION (Stewart)
A really lovely dog. Well balanced and not overdone he has a lovely head, good neck and well laid shoulders, super front and feet, well ribbed back, good depth with plenty of heart room, super dog standing and moving, well handled and so beautifully presented, well deserved the Dog CC.
2nd CH SHELOMITH VICE REGENT (Cleland/Browne/Langham-Goodwin)
Very elegant dog, failed to one in shoulder, but I liked the rest of him a lot. A great showman and so well handled, moved and showed well and has a lot going for him.
3rd CH EIREANNMADA FLYING SOLO (Craig/Browne)
Not so striking in topline a little heavier than 1st and 2nd. Nice head and eye, neat feet, short hocks and well handled and moved well.
VETERAN DOG (7-10 YEARS)
1st EIREANNMADA HOUSE OF SAX (Smith)
Eight years old dog in great condition. Upstanding with nice head and eye, good front and feet, in super coat, he moved well with drive and really enjoyed his day out.
VETERAN DOG (OVER 10 YEARS)
1st Gr CH GWYNDARA TOTAL ECLIPSE (Jones)
Almost eleven years this dog has a great name and is in great condition. He still maintains a high level of fitness which showed in his movement. A quality dog his owner must be proud of him
2nd BAIYAI FEVER PITCH (AI) (Gration)

JUNIOR BITCH
1st EIREANNMADA CALL O THE WIND (A1) (Browne)
Just 12 months she is an elegant pretty bitch. Well laid shoulders, good depth plenty of heart room, well tucked loin, not exaggerated in hindquarters and neat firm short hocks. She moved with drive and confidence around the ring.
