I was honoured and delighted to be invited to judge the Open Show of the Kerry Blue Terrier Association.
I would like to thank the exhibitors for their entries and support on the day and my steward Tony Salmon.
Temperaments throughout were very good, pigment was, overall of a good standard.

1. BVIS Phillips GALWAYDREAM LADY ENYA, this bitch has retained a clean skull & neat ears, dark eye, straight front, ribs well back, tail set on, moved soundly fore & aft,
2. Adamson’s DANIELLE SERENA ADABELLE, another bitch who has retained a good outline, straight front, good depth of chest & sound quarters, preferred the neater feet of Enya
Junior D (1) 1.Read’s KOPYKATS KING OF THE CASTLE, promising youngster, not a big dog but balanced throughout, clean head of good length, dark eye & correct bite, neat front, deep chest & level topline, good tail set, sound quarters used well on the move, still maturing, well presented.
