Mr. Canalizo's critique appears
in green below |

"There are Special Shows and there are Shows that are Special. The 'Easter Event' of the Potomac Irish Wolfhound Club has the distinction of being both! In order to earn this hallmark every detail has to flow from the very beginning to the very end without a ripple along the way. The club provided me with good clear correspondence, without being copious. They took advantage of having Annapolis in close proximity in which to house their judges in a wonderful Bed & Breakfast. They found the perfect escort in 'Christy,' who was in charge of getting me everywhere I needed to be, which she did with ease. I thoroughly enjoyed our chats while bouncing back and forth. My stewards were very accommodating to my quirky requests in trying to avoid getting wet on the first day or sunburned on the second. But then the club has the good fortune to have Peter van Brunt as Chief Steward, a man who knows something about how to run a ring! The luncheon on Sunday was delicious! Dee Van Nest and Jeanette Luther are a good team as Show Chairs and they should be very proud of their committee's ability in staging such a good event. "Before I get into the actual critiquing I would like to share my overall impression of the entry. The Irish Wolfhound is such a unique breed. Hounds seen at the Specialty level confirm that the keepers of the breed seem successful in maintaining the classic shape, coupled with the desired function of the breed over the years. When my winners classes were assembled I was taken aback by the beautiful lines of the contenders, especially in the bitch competition. I was pleased that the exhibitors showed their entries without racing them or over stacking them. I used to hear complaints from some of my friends/breeders who questioned my asking the exhibit to 'Free Stack' at a certain point of the evaluation process. They didn't think a breed of their size made the right impression under those circumstances. For those in attendance it was most evident that those built correctly held the correct shape of the breed. A well made dog with the desired length, great size and powerful musculature made a commanding impression. Those who blended those virtues with sound action were easy to reward. "I love the obvious affection the dogs shared with their owners. Temperaments were excellent for the size of the entry. Most were presented in good condition with only a few over trimmed or not 'clean'...and I'm not referring to some mud on the day!...Mud has no odor! "I was excited when asked to pass judgement at this Specialty. For many years it has been an event where good breeders came together. This year was no exception. I left the weekend knowing the Irish Wolfhound is in good hands. "Please keep in mind that the accompanying pictures might not always match what one see's during the actual evaluation. My placements reflect my impression of the exhibit at a certain moment in time. Small details that could be 'fleeting' will/might influence my decision at any given moment. I look to reward traits that one needs to preserve in the breed. These details keep the 'Irish in the Wolfhound.' "I dictated my critique in Reverse Placement Order as each dog was placed for their positive qualities and decisions made when the all the good virtues carried the entrant to a higher placement." |

4/23/03, breeders Glenn H. Myer and Samuel Evans Ewing
III, by Ch. Cairbre Music of Eagle x Kellykerry Betsy of
Eagle, owner: Glenn H. Myer "This was a good class for Novice. This dog won for his very good stature blended with fine details. His movement was surprisingly good due to a soft feel having come off a hard winter no doubt. When in firmer tone this dog will not go unnoticed!" |
|
2nd 45 - Karontara Starkeeper Fantom, HP066084/08.
7/27/03, breeders K. Volk, P. Hendrickson & J. Gagne,

HP072916/04. 8/24/03, breeders Art & Linda King and
Samuel Evans Ewing III, by Ch. Whycket of Eagle x
Aiobhell Carlo of Eagle, owners: Art & Linda King and
Angela Payne "Smoothness won the class for this dog. There wasn't a lump or bump standing or moving on this dog. He had all the details to create a noble yet keen expression. He had depth and angles to support his frame. Power to the rear from short hocks and good turn of stifle. The photo does not do justice to this dog. Seeing him in the ring might make you wonder if he was too 'different' from the others but I found those differences to be a very positive thing. In the winners class his movement around the huge ring impressed me enough to award him Winners Dog." |

2nd 57 - Erinwood Can You Hear Now, HP063927/01.
6/21/03, breeders Pamela & James Paloma, by Ch.
Aarannwood Viking x Ch. Erinwood Chemaine of Eagle,
owners: breeders "This dog looked like my winner from the start of the class. I loved his size, shape, coat, and overall details...he just missed out to the 1st Place because it seemed his brain wasn't sending the same message to the legs at the same time." 3rd 61 - Dochas Liam O'Cu, HP068877/01. 4/28/03, breeder Patricia Cracchiola, by Ch. Carrickaneena Troigh Dubh x Ch. Nutstown Kelly Two, owner: breeder "A nice dog with good rear action. He had good depth but lacked some spring of rib, if he's a youngster he should fill in with maturity." 4th 53 - Armagh's Maverick of Noble, HM988323/09. 10/29/01, breeders Joe, Kathy & Jean Roland, by Ch. Pitlochry's Real Eagle x Ch. R Noble Anam Cara, owners: Ben Carter and Joe Roland "This was a good even class where minor features determined the placements. This was a good tall upstanding dog of correct type. Had he used his front a bit better he would have placed higher." |

Dogs: American Bred |

1st 79 - Liam Myrica of Eagle, HN010327/01. 8/7/02,
breeder Samuel Evans Ewing III, by Ch. Maximilian
Fionnmae by Ch. Lile Bhreac of Eagle, owners: Samuel
Evans Ewing III and Sam Houston McDonald "Every element of IW present. Perhaps not as much size as the 2nd, he won for the subtle features that define the breed. Ears, eyes and level planes completed a near perfect head. Coat and condition excellent. He was a close contender for Winners and was my Reserve Winners dog." |
|
2nd 83 - Kellykerry Riley of Eagle, HP046982/05.
4/23/03, breeder Glenn Myer, by Ch. Cairbre Muse of Eagle
x Kellykerry Betsy of Eagle, owners: Bob & Judy
McConnell "This dog was placed high for his very good size and strength especially from the side. I liked the depth of this dog. With all those strong qualities he was not at a loss for pleasing type in any way." 3rd 73 - Niagara Dark Mist of Aerie, HP074965/02. 9/26/03, breeders Amy Benjamin & Doug Marx, by Ch. Kerry Arc's San Juan Capistrano x Ch. Niagara River Aerie of Eagle, owner: Linda Young "The good neck made this a noble looking dog. His well set front didn't match the rear where the bend of stifle wasn't as strong." 4th 69 - Rosslare's Naomhan O'Beltane, HP026850/01. 10/12/02, breeder Glynis Littlewood, by Ch. Xanax von der Oehmuhle x Ch. Rosslares Savannnah, owners: Diane Camel, Ken Neff and Glynis Littlewood "A nice expressive dog that would benefit from more size and bone." |

Dogs: Open |

1st 85 - R Noble Aron, HM988323/10. 10/29/01,
breeders Joe, Kathy & Jean Roland, by Ch.
Pitlochry's Real Eagle x Ch. R Noble Anam Cara,
owners: Kathy & Joe Roland "He won on his abundance of correct bone and depth mixed with some fine elements of type. I was expecting a more enthusiastic way of going on a cold day like today. He was rewarded for all the correctness he possessed, but he didn't ask for more and I obliged!" |
|
2nd 95 - Taliesin's Logan, HM902949/04. 5/27/00,
breeders Donna & David Smith and Samuel Ewing III, by
Donna's Dream von der Oehmuhle x Ch. Taliesin's
Lasair of Eagle, owner: Stephanie Smith "A close call between 1st and 2nd. A more durable coat might have made the difference in this class. Overall good type and movement." 3rd 89 - O'Lugh's Walks on Water, HN004405/01. 7/19/02, breeders Andrea & Michael Dormandy, by Ch. O'Lugh's Vintage Merlot x Ch. O'Lugh's Touched By An Angel, owners: breeders "Every inch an IW in style and size. More strength of rear would have carried this dog higher." 4th 91 - Carrickaneena Paddy Clancy, HN011582/02. 10/28/02, breeders Eileen M. & Eileen B. Flanagan, by Ch. Killykeen Jewel x DCh. Carrickaneena Padraigin, owners: Patrick Walker and Eileen B. Flanagan "I hoped this was a young dog due to a lightness about him. I liked his height and balance but wanted 'more' of him." |

breeder B. Madsen-Rabe, by Starkeeper Summerhill BOQ x
Summerhill Avonleigh, owner: breeder "The intense details of this bitch won the class. Her keen eye, strong underjaw and great reach of neck carried her in spite of what I would have changed in her foot action going away. The profile gait was smooth and flexible. Again...two very promising young ladies!" |
|
2nd 8 - Lovesong von der Oehmuhle, IW11175. 9/9/04,
breeders Jurgen Papenfuss & Jurgen Rosner, by
Brokenwheel Uracil x Nearly Wild von der Oehmuhle,
owners: Kathy Edwards and Donna Smith "One of the two very good puppies in the class. She could have won on her age appropriate movement today. Her decidedly female characteristics didn't over ride her good shape and size." |

5/15/04, breeders Pamela & James Paloma, by Ch.

by Ch. Karn's Xecellant of Erinwood x Ch. Erinwood

Oxmoon Brogan of Limerick x Can Ch. Starkeeper Wynde, owners: Jocelyne Gagne and Linda Carter Watts "A bitch of good size standing over a good amount of ground.

Harrison, by Garbhan Giarvan of Green Ireland x Baronfore Caoimhe by Saringa, owners: Andrea & Michael Dormandy "A bitch in need of maturity but good elements of type present.

12/2/03, breeder Carol Gabriel, by Ch. Oxmoon Brogan of

12/24/03, breeders Samuel Evans Ewing III & Sam
Houston McDonald, by Ch. Rathkeale Call Me the Breeze x
Ch. Claridon Aina of Eagle, owners: breeders "A close decision between the 1st. & 2nd. In short, this bitch's head earned this placement. Overall elements of type were excellent but I can't envision the breed working with any thing but correct demeanor coupled with sound movement. She had the movement but fell short on the former today." 3rd 36 - Carrickaneena Miss Eire, HP094246/03. 11/8/03, breeders Eileen M. & Eileen B. Flanagan, by Ch. Carrickaneena Dearg Mac Logan x Ch. Carrickaneena Tir Na Nog, owners: John & Maureen English and Eileen M. & Eileen B. Flanagan "Well made, good rib to loin. Nice ear. Her action won her a placement in spite of a shaky start in her performance on the day." 4th 42 - Erinwood Dolce & Gabbana, HP088177/02. 1/17/04, breeders Pam & Jim Paloma and Jeurgen Roesner, by Ch. Aurum von der Sillerquelle x Ch. Xtravagance von der Oehmuhle, owners: Sam & Linda Ross "A nice rangy bitch with a smoothness about her. Sound and well made but her tail over reacted to this cool day." |
|
Bitches: Novice "A strange class to find such depth of quality (at least to me). Proportionately the highest level of quality. The differences from 1st to 4th were minimal." |
|
1st 58 - Kellykerry Megan of Eagle, HP046982/07.
4/23/03, breeders Glenn H. Myer and Samuel Evans Ewing
III, by Ch. Cairbre Music of Eagle x Kellykerry Betsy of
Eagle, owner: Glenn H. Myer "A beautiful bitch in almost every way. Her coat, a near perfect ear, depth and girth without being coarse...movement from every side textbook. If I could change one thing about her it would be the head planes. She won in spite of them, not because of them. Her impression of power and pleasing symmetry carried her to Reserve Winners Bitch." |
|
2nd 56 - Redtops Brenniam Tudor Rose, HP035087/03.
12/20/02, breeder Rosemary E. Wortman, by Am. Ch. Redtops
Phantom of the Opera x Redtops Brennagh, owners: William
J. & Brenda M. Neu "Shapely and easy action on this nice bitch. Her footfall was excellent but her tail carriage kept her from winning the class." 3rd 52 - Brandywhine Mida of Eagle, HM967658/02. 5/1/01, breeders Anne C. Tweer and Samuel Evans Ewing, III, by Kerryarc Ronan of Eagle x Ch. Brandywhine Moncha of Eagle, owners: Joe & Kathy Roland and Sam Houston McDonald "A stately bitch with correct head properties. More length and angulation would benefit this pretty bitch. It was her impressive movement that earned her this placement." 4th 62 - Limerick Lea of Eagle, HP065643/04. 8/25/03, breeders Linda & Jamie Souza, by Ch. Oxmoon Brogan of Limerick x Ch. Lile Bhreac of Eagle, owners: Samuel Evans Ewing, III & Sam Houston McDonald "A late arrival that never got settled in. Everything about this bitch screamed IW. But she only gave fleeting moments to be judged." |

7/27/02, breeders Judith P. Ryan and Jocelyne Gagne, by
Ch. ArMaitiu Niall Caille of Eagle x Starkeeper Orion na
Wolfhaven, owners: Dr. Susan M.L. Prokopenko and Jocelyne
Gagne "Always a picture in the class. My hands glided over this bitch from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail. Her neck was long and strong, her chest deep and full, her length was supported by a powerful loin and if the handler was in as good as condition as she was, I would have kept her running just to enjoy the ease of gait she displayed. She earned Winners Bitch in a field of very good contenders." |
|
2nd 84 - Northbrook of Aerie, HP 074965/01. 9/26/03,
breeders Doug Marx & Amy Benjamin, by Ch. Kerryarc
San Juan Capistrano x Ch. Niagara River Aerie of Eagle,
owners: breeders "In a class like this only a minor detail separates the winners. Everything in place and the type lovely. Impressive neck to shoulder, short hocks denote power." 3rd 70 - R Noble Alainn Nora, HM988323/01. 10/29/01, breeders Joe, Kathy & Jean Roland, by Ch. Pitlochry's Real Eagle x Ch. R Noble Anam Cara, owners: Kathy & Joe Roland "Another good balanced bitch. Head, shoulders, chest, loin and movement all good. A close decision between 2nd & 3rd." 4th 76 - Kellykerry Reanna of Eagle, HP036637/01. 9/13/02, breeders Glenn H. Myer and Samuel E. Ewing, III, by Ch. Pitlochry's Real Eagle x Kellykerry Becca of Eagle, owner: Glenn H. Myer Great size and condition here. So much good about her in elements of type. Had her movement been as strong she would have placed higher in this very good class." |

10/29/01, breeders Joe, Kathy & Jean Roland, by Ch.
Pitlochry's Real Eagle x Ch. R Noble Anam Cara,
owner: Glenn H. Myer "The most collected in this class of assorted bitches. She made the most of her moderate qualities. Good neck, shoulder, and running gear. A darker eye would have completed the picture." |

Real Eagle x Ch. R. Noble Gormlaith of Eagle, owners:

Kellykerry Aine O'Ros of Eagle, owners: Robert J. Brehl and Susan & Van Morfit "Her good rear carried her this far. Had her front matched the rear the ribbon might have been another color!

Winner's Bitch: 66 Starkeeper Glenamadda Realtan |

Reserve Winner's Bitch: 58 - Kellykerry Megan of Eagle |

Best of Breed Class: "A wonderful sight to see a Specials Class of this quality. There were many dogs and bitches that would be welcome representatives in any competition anywhere. As I brought the contenders down to a smaller number it became obvious to me that there was one male and three bitches that the decision would come down to." Best of Breed: 131 - Ch. Taliesyn's Llenlleawg, CGC, HM902949/03. 5/27/00, breeders Donna & David Smith and Samuel Ewing III, by Donna's Dream von der Oehmuhle x Ch. Taliesin's Lasair of Eagle, owners: Karen F. Malone and Donna R. Smith "From the start Ch. Taliesyn's Llenlleawg filled my eye because of his great size and shape which he held standing and moving the entire time. He showed power and swiftness. He was muscular, he had level planes in the head with a keen expression, he had so many of the breed's desired details. If he had any flaws they were so minor that I never made notice of them...that's the mark of a great dog! He was hard pressed by some of the bitches." |
|
Best of Opposite to Best of Breed & Best of Winners: 66 Starkeeper Glenamadda Realtan "In the end I worked my Winners Bitch against some beautiful specials bitches and her movement and stamina persevered. She went on to BOS and BOW to the aforementioned dog." |
