looked forward to this weekend with much anticipation for nearly two
years, and can tell you that it fulfilled my expectations and was a
delightful experience. | |
Dogs: 6-9 Months | |
1st 15 - SKYES THUNDER, HP229629/01, breeders: Michael Genovese, DDS, by: Ch Skyes Comet - Skyes Stoneybrook Rue; owners: Genovese, DDS Michael. "Red wheaten puppy, with good bone and substance. Soundest dog in this class. A nice outline, just a touch short in back length for me. Covers ground, standing and moving. Head not his fortune; too broad in backskull." |
|
2nd 11 - GARLOW NONE-SUCH OF EAGLE , HP233162/05, breeders: Karyl Morrison and Samuel Evans Ewing, 3rd, by: Salutary Rachamim of Eagle - Armaitiu Nala of Eagle; owners: Bowers, Carolyn, and Sam Houston McDonald. "A light coloured brindle dog, a bit finer than the first place dog, but again with a nice outline. A sound puppy, and moving just a bit close coming and going today." 3rd 17 - BLAIR'S SQUARE ROOT, HP229813/06; breeders: C. B. Hoffman and B. A. Conner, by: Redtops Celtic Spirit - Rysheron's Djinn at Blair, owners: Hoffman C B, and B A Conner. "This puppy actually had the nicest shape in the class when standing. However, he did not move smoothly at all, and was moving very close and narrow both coming and going." 4th 13 - BLAIR PRIME NUMBER AT TARALYN, HP229813/05, breeders: Cecilia B. Hoffman and Bryan A. Conner, by: Redtops Celtic Spirit - Rysheron's Djinn at Blair; owners: McKinney, Lisa and William, Cecilian Hoffman and Bryan Conner "This puppy had good substance and a nice shape in profile. He was relatively sound, but not moving as well as those who placed ahead of him in this class. Coat a bit soft." |
|
Dogs: 9-12 Months | |
1st 27 - PITLOCHRY'S KEYSTONE, NHSB2615378; breeders: Nicco Fernhout, by: Pitlochry's Telonius Troy - Celtic Myst-Brolly; owners: Marx Doug, and Amy Benjamin and Jeanette Luther "A handsome red wheaten puppy. He has the length that I like to see; covers a lot of ground. At this stage in his growth he has adequate curves, but is a little bit straight in front which restricts his reach slightly when on the move." |
|
2nd 23 - KINDRED CORMAC O'BELTANE, HP202435/02; breeders: Donna DiStefano, by: Rosslare's Coleraine Fenian K - Sherwood's Kindred Atreya; owners: Camel Diane, and Ken Neff "A grey brindle puppy who was not too sure that he liked being in the ring at first. He did settle down. A bit finer than the #1 puppy, and was not as smooth on the go around as he could have been. This may be because he was not happy about being in the ring." |
|
Dogs: 12-18 Months | |
1st 31 - WILDISLE CASTLEKEEPER QUEST, HP211221/01, breeders: Alice Kneavel, by: Ch Wildisle Lionheart - Ch Castlekeeper Johanna, owners: Kneavel Alice, and Jill Bregy "A large, substantial wheaten brindle youngster. What a beautiful neck, set well into a well angulated front and flowing into good curves. Lovely rear quarters. He used himself very well on the move, taking maximum advantage of his balanced angles and good shape to cover the ground with reach and drive." |
|
2nd - TALIESIN'S WALERON, HP201313/01, breeders: David and Donna Smith, by: Ch Taliesin's Llenlleawg, CGC - Wolf Tone Bonne Louise, owners: Smith, David and Donna "A little bit less of this dog than the winner. He is a more moderate hound, and an excellent mover who really strides out on the go around. Another good front assembly. Good shape and outline." 3rd 37 - CONNEMARA'S FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, HP192039/02, breeders: Debbie Sharpe and Laurie Morris, by: Connemara's Rain Man - Ch. Brimstone's Connemara Summer, owners: Morris Laurie, and Debbie Sharpe "A promising young hound. He is not in as good condition as the first and second place hound. A bit thin. He is light on his feet, and nice on the go around, but not as sound coming and going." 4th 49 - CRIONNACHT CARRICKANEENA WYSE, HP222230/02, breeders: Dr. Caren Carney and Eileen M. Flanagan, by: Ch. Carrickaneena's Dichu, SC - Carrickaneena Uisce Beatha, owners: Carney, Caren M. "Another teenager with good potential. A very houndy type with great length. A good shape. A little unsure about being in the ring. Once he gets going his movement in profile is strong." |
|
Dogs: Novice | |
1st 59 - TALIESIN'S LIAM OF WIDEVIEW, JC, HP177590/03, breeders: Donna R. Smith and David Smith, by: Brimstone Solomon - Taliesin's Leanaim An Taibreamh, owners: Milne David and Margie "Overall the most balanced dog in this class. He is an easy mover, although a little bit close coming and going. Good length with adequate angulation front and rear." |
|
2nd 61 - ROCKHART HAVOC, HP174796/03, breeders: Christiana C. Hartenstein and Lynn M. Simon, MD, by: Am/Can Ch. Rockhart Anthem - Rockhart Wanja, owners: Hartenstein, Christiana C., and Lynn Simon, MD "This dog misbehaved which made it difficult to evaluate his movement. Appears to move wide in the front, which would be consistent with his shoulders being overloaded. He is quite curvy in shape, and strong looking. He drops off behind and moves a bit close behind, but again this was difficult to determine as he was uncooperative with his handler on the move." 3rd 65 - CALYDDON SEANEAN OF THOR , HP074180/01, breeders: Donna S. & Joseph C. Pitt, by: Calyddon Taghmon - Calyddon Bellacoeur, owners: Findlay, Barbara Cape, and Donna S. Pitt "A big substantial hound. Moderate curves. He looked better standing than moving. Relatively sound, but needs more energy on the go around." 4th 57 - SIDHE'S DOMINO DANCER DE BURGH, HP169147/01, breeders: Roni Kaluza and Randy Valenti, by: KellyKerry Rapho of Eagle - Sidhe's Britney, owners: Burke Ann "A long, lean hound. Not the scope of the dogs who placed in front of him. Somewhat straight in front, so paddles coming at you." |

"This dog had a beautiful shape and outline, and he used himself to advantage on the move; covering ground with a free and effortless gait. Not a large dog, but well proportioned. Lovely head and ears." |
|
2nd 71 - ROCKHART ELYSEE, HP108183/06, breeders: Christiana C. Hartenstein and Lynn M. Simon, MD, by: Am/Can Ch. Rockhart Anthem - Am/Can Ch. Stoneybrook Rockhart Rebecca, owners: Hartenstein, Christiana C., and Lynn Simon, MD "A larger and impressive male; he is all about curves. Great substance, giving him an impression of being a shade stocky. Also a nice mover, not quite as free moving on the go around as the first place dog." 3rd 75 - TALIESIN'S SUAILCE, JC, HP148346/01, breeders: David and Donna Smith, by: Wolf Tone Merlyn - Ch Taliesin's Luas, owners: Smith, David and Donna "The dog had a gorgeous head and neck which flowed smoothly into lovely front quarters.

Used himself well when moving." 4th 73 - CALYDDON PENDRAGON, HP074180/06, breeders: Owners, by: Calyddon Taghmon - Calyddon Bellacoeur, owners: Pitt, Donna S and Joseph C "A large, well boned male with solid shape. Looked better standing than on the go around. Not as angulated as the first and second place dogs. Paddles in front coming at me, and was a bit sluggish on the move." |
|

"A substantial wheaten male, with great bone. Not as long limbed looking as the second place dog, but very curvy and was a great mover. Nice action in profile. Front movement could be a bit cleaner coming at me." |
|
2nd 95 - O'LUGH BLACKWATER SULLIVAN, HP134744/02, breeders: Andrea B. and Michael L. Dormady, by: Ch. O'Lugh's Walks on Water - Ch. O'Lugh's Front Paige Story, owners: Sula, Jennifer "A long and tall dog who uses himself well on the move. He could display more reach in front on the move. Good shape, but drops off a bit steeply in the croup." 3rd 85 - ROSSLARE'S DUBHGHAILL O'BELTANE, HP177084/02, breeders: Glynis Littlewood, by: Rosslare's Kindred Montralee - Rosslare's Autumn Maiz, owners: Camel, Diane, and Ken Neff "A well shaped dog, who is a sound free mover.

1st SIDHE GUINNESS OF GARDENFIELD, HP136940/06, breeders: Tom Rabbitt, by: Ch Sidhe Dragonsbane - Meadbh Cunaardri, owners: Kaluza, Roni, and Randy Valenti "A very balanced male, with good shape and substance. He has a gorgeous head and neck that flowed smoothly into his strong front assembly. Balanced with equally strong rear quarters. He settled more as the class went on, and used himself to advantage on the move. I would like to see him a bit taller." |
|
2nd 101 - ROCKHART ENIGMA, HP108183/05, breeders: Christiana C. Hartenstein and Lynn M. Simon, MD, by: Am/Can Ch. Rockhart Anthem - Am/Can Ch. Stoneybrook Rockhart Rebecca, owners: Hartenstein, Christiana C., and Lynn Simon, MD "Another dog with beautiful curves and substance. Good action on the go around when moving. Not as balanced as the first place dog - a bit front heavy; loaded over the shoulders. He moved a bit wide in front coming at me." 3rd 115 - PITLOCHRY'S YPSILON, HP163977/01, breeders: Conny Fernhout-Schildt, by: NLCh Celtic Myst Bryan - Pitlochry's Querro, owners: Marx Doug, and Amy Benjamin "This is a large, leggy dog with good substance and nice type. He was not in hard condition, and did not use himself on the move as well as his outline suggests. Not too cooperative with his handler either, wanting to post when stacked and this impacted negatively on his topline. Light eyes." 4th 107 - CARRICKANEENA SLIEVE CARRON, HP166840/05, breeders: E. M. and E. B. Flanagan, by: Mochras Ipse Facto - Ch Carrickaneena Treise SC, owners: Peltier, Carol L., and E.M. and E. B.

Winner's Dog: 31 -
WILDISLE CASTLEKEEPER QUEST "In the winners line up this dog was impressive. While still a youngster, he had the classic sighthound shape that I like to see. He drew my eye with his commanding appearance. He exuded length, in terms of body and daylight underneath him, without compromising strength. This dog covered ground well both standing and on the move; great reach and drive on the go around. In great condition." |
|
| |
Reserve Winner's Dog: 99 - SIDHE GUINNESS OF GARDENFIELD "He is very shapely, with lovely curves. Moved very well. I would like more daylight underneath him." |

Not as strong behind as the first place dog. Her fluffy coat detracted from her appearance, and could probably be removed now." 3rd 16 - BLAIR'S PI R SQUARED, HP229813/01, breeders: C. B. Hoffman and B. A. Conner, by: Redtops Celtic Spirit - Rysheron's Djinn at Blair, owners: Hoffman Cecilia B., and Bryan A. Conner "A smaller puppy with lovely curves. A beautiful package, great head, would just like a little more of her, and this may come with age. A bit weak in the topline." 4th 14 - SKYES TESS, HP229629/02, breeders: Michael Genovese, DDS, by: Ch Skyes Comet - Skyes Stoneybrook Rue, owners: Genovese, DDS Michael "A lovely wheaten bitch puppy with great black pigment.

Still a top quality youngster. A very pretty head. Not as strong in rear as the first place bitch." |

1st 66 - VESUVIUS OF AERIE, HP208304/03, 03/03/06, breeders: Jeanette Luther and Amy Benjamin, by: Ch. Pitlochry's Quintus - Vice Versa Aerie of Eagle, owners: Luther, Jeanette, and Amy Benjamin and Doug Marx "A very beautiful wheaten bitch. She has it all. Incredible curves with power.

She has much to grow into, and looks like a teenager, but is very promising. Not as curvy as the dogs who placed ahead of her. I see afterwards that she is a litter sister to the #1." |
|

Rockhart Kamouflage - Rathrahilly Stoneybrook Umbria, owners: Hartenstein, Christiana C., and Lynn Simon, MD " A large, substantial yet shapely bitch. She has good length and plenty of daylight under her. Very powerful, and nice side gait. A bit loaded in the shoulder and neck, and not as clean coming at me as the winner of the class; this bitch paddled very slightly." 3rd 152 - ERINWOOD WEETABIX, HP151431/01, breeders: Miriam Couto and Pamela Paloma, by: Ch Erinwood Can You Hear Me Now - Ch Erinwood Whynsome of Eagle, owners: Paloma, Pam and Jim "Another large powerful looking bitch.

Winner's Bitch: 148 -
RATHKEALE'S VENUS "Lovely shape matched with good substance. Not overdone in any way. Beautiful angulation both front and rear; well balanced. This girl moved out with incredible reach and drive, carrying herself effortlessly around the ring. She was asking for the top prize with her smooth gait and classic profile." | |
| |
Reserve Winner's Bitch: 142 - ROCKHART CALAMITY "After the show, when I was allowed to see a catalog, I see that last year in Canada at another Irish Wolfhound specialty, this bitch was my reserve then also! It is her misfortune to come up against such quality bitches when it comes down to the Winners award. She is a lovely mover, plenty of reach and drive; great shape, good substance and size. She had to best several lovely bitches to win this award today. In particular I want to mention that I seriously considered the Novice bitch, but she did not have the maturity of the second place Open bitch, who went reserve." | |
| |
Best of Breed Class: Best of Breed/Best of Winners: 148 - RATHKEALE'S VENUS "On this day, nothing was going to beat the Winners Bitch for me. She held it all together whether she was standing or moving, and every time I looked at her, she just presented a better picture. She continually portrayed qualities that I appreciated in terms of type, shape, condition and movement. Her beautiful sighthound outline made her irresistible to me standing, and combined with hard condition when she moved out, she covered ground effortlessly with lovely reach and drive. She is a balanced hound, with the all the requisites in her form, to be able to function as a hunter." | |

Award of Merit: 119 - CH. TALIESIN'S LLENLLEAWG, CGC "The veteran dog. Age has not diminished his presence, enthusiasm for the ring or his lovely shape and solid movement. I was pleased to be able to recognize this grand gentleman with an Award of Merit." | |

Madsen "Hard to believe that this bitch is a nine year old. She has held together well, and outmoved her competition in this class with her free and easy gait. She moves just a shade wide in front coming at you. A very curvy bitch maintained in excellent condition. Good energy on the move. A beautiful head and expression so typical of the breed." |
|
2nd 164 - CH TALIESIN'S AMGEAL DANA BREE, HM902947/01, breeders: Donna and David Smith, by: Am. Ger. Fin.

She is not as happy to be here as her classmates, and seems to be feeling her age. She does have nice curves and a good outline. Did not use herself on the move." |
|
Stud Dog "Close up to choose between the two sets of stud and get. The get of the winning stud dog demonstrated many of the positive qualities from their sire. In the end, the winners had smooth easy movement, all demonstrating good reach and drive." | |
