Judge's report

Irish Red & White Setter Club
Confined Breed STAKE ON GROUSE (under FCI rules)
for Irish Red and White Setters
Sunday, 14th September 2008 – WICKLOW MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

Judges: Mr. T. Fox / Mrs. Christiane Lohmann (Germany)

1st brace
(4) IRWSD CRAIGRUA KOBIE (Craigrua Brou – Lusmagh Polly) 06/02 – V. Flannelly
(2) IRWSB DEARGBAN BELLA (FTCh Silent Seeker of Shannonbally – Bishopmill Bronze Quean) 03/04 – T. O'Leary

KOBIE starts fast, but takes his time to get himself free from his brace mate. Good style, good and fast runner, could make better use of the wind and have a better pattern.
BELLA takes the chance and shows right from the beginning a perfect pattern with high speed, great style and she takes the ground far out to both sides. Runs out of sight over a ridge and is little later found on a firm point. Produces grouse and is steady to wing and shot. Nicely controlled by the handler with very little use of the whistle. This is exactly what I came to Ireland to see.

2nd brace
(9) IRWSB PALLAS GREEN HARRIET (Harry – Craigrua Goldie) 11/05 – J. Sheridan
(8) IRWSD CRAIGRUA KANSAS (Craigrua Osprey – Craigrua Danusa) 08/06 – D. Linton

HARRIET shows a breathtaking performance, taking all way up the hill and back with very good style and tremendous speed. Could cover the ground more thoroughly and have a closer pattern, but makes very intelligent use of the wind. She needs to have too much whistling to have her come back from her far beats to the left hand side. Great will to go.
KANSAS needs some time to free himself from his brace mate and start his own job, but then works out nicely with great gusto and style. Lacks a bit of a system yet, but makes very sensible use of the wind.

3rd brace
(1) IRWSB BAWNRHU GLENCORA (Craigrua Kobie – Bawnrhu Misty) 08/04 – D. Byrne
(3) IRWSD CRAIGRUA RASTAS (Craigrua Rascal – Kilteel Holly) 10/02 – V. Flannelly

GLENCORA goes out in a powerful search with good range and correct use of wind. Takes a firm point and produces grouse. Steady to wing and shot. Clears the ground nicely, but has no more finds. Has another short point, but continues when she is sure there is no birds.
RASTAS is taking his time to start an independent search, but has some nice casts. Good style and high speed. Needs to get a better system in his pattern and gain more experience on how to use the wind. He fails to back his brace mate.

4th brace
(10) IRWSB CRAIGRUA LUCKY (Dunbarra Jack – Craigrua Firefly) 04/02 – J. Sheridan
(11) IRWSB PEPPERSTOWN POLLY (FTCh Rushfield Rascal – Lusmagh Polly) 97/01 – M. Ruymbeke

LUCKY has an excellent search with high speed and great style. He keeps good contact with the handler. She back casts but shows her bird sense. Finds a snipe but has no chance to point it.

POLLY has a good run with good range and nice style, but back casts on both sides several times. Two firm points but did not produce any birds,

5th brace
(13) IRWSD BENWISKEN BRENDAN – V. Flannelly
(7) IRWSD CRAIGRUA OSPREY (Craigrua Aran – Craigrua Danusa) – D. Linton

BRENDAN is not developing a fluent search but his handler uses the whistle too much which does not help. . Would have liked to see him given more 'free rein' Showed short glimpses of great style with a 'will-to-go'.
OSPREY is fast and far ranging with good system. Responds to the whistle of his brace mate handler and back casts several times. Firm on point, but did not produce any birds great performance otherwise.

6th brace
(12) IRWSD DALRIACH GARRYOWEN (Dalriach Lord Decider – Dalriach Bruar) 05/04 – M. Ruymbeke
(5) IRWSB CRAIGRUA DARLENE (Craigrua Raceaway – Craigrua Susan) 10/04 – V. Flannelly

GARRYOWEN starts off in a sound and professional search with good range and great speed. I like his steady way of working for his handler. Makes sensible use of the wind and covers the ground with perfect pattern. What a pity his handler hurt his knee and couldn't run him in the re-call. I would have liked to see him on birds.
DARLENE is a fast and far ranging bitch with great style and power. Covers her ground with a good pattern, but I would like to see her hunt with a little less influence from the handler. No chance on birds.

Re-Call
1st (10) Lucky – (5) Darlene
Both bitches are cast off downhill and start with high speed. Lucky flushes grouse by literally running into them on her first cast to the very far right side. Again she had the idea where to go and find grouse but had bad luck today.
Darlene is stopped and picked-up.

2nd (5) Darlene – (2) Bella
Darlene continues with Bella and both are a fantastic brace. Very competitive and totally in control. No finds.

3rd (1) Glencora – (8) Kansas
Both start off with high speed and stamina. Well in hand, competitive and totally in control. No finds.

4th (9) Harriet – (7) Osprey
Here we have two excellent examples of Irish Red and White Setters hunting. Harriet is fighting hard for birds and somersaults on very heavy ground. Is up in a instant and continues hunting. Again she takes very big casts out to the left hand side. Osprey improves very much in pattern and use of wind and shows a fantastic search. Both would have deserved to have a find.
RESULT:

1st Winner EXCELLENT - (2) IRWSB DEARGBAN BELLA– T. O'Leary
Winner of the IRW SILVER TRAY and "Verein für Pointer and Setter/ Germany"- tile

2nd Place EXCELLENT - (1) IRWSB BAWNRHU GLENCORA – D. Byrne

Best young RW "Kastberg Silver Plate award" - (8) IRWSD CRAIGRUA KANSAS – D. Linton

My special thanks to the IRWS-Club for inviting me to judge in the Wicklow mountains. The gallery had IRWS-fanciers from Sweden, France, the United States and Germany, whom I know enjoyed the day.
I was surprised by the high quality of the dogs and found every single one to be a joy and pride to own. All had fantastic style, great passion and the way they ran over this rough ground made it look very easy. I would have gladly brought home every one of them.

The Irish Red & White Setter Club held two International Fieldtrials on 8th – 9^th August ’07. This was the culmination of over one year’s planning and building of contacts with the Irish Red Setter Club of France. It could not have happened without the consistent efforts of Jean-Yves Prigent and Ludovic Ivchs and the entire Red & White Club committee. A special thanks to Dave Byrne our FT secretary and Christy Davitt!

The first day was a combined stake of eight Irish Red Setters from France and eight of our Irish Red & White Setters. The first round was quite exciting as we met a lot of grouse. It was interesting to see how the French dogs reacted to running on Irish mountains and handling grouse. All I can say is that due to the amount of birds we were meeting there were a few accidents on both sides! We went into the second round with eight dogs. Two of Davey Byrne’s Irish Red & White Setters with finds and one French dog with a find, owned by Bernard Trubuilt the FT secretary of the French Club. It was a very warm day and the wind seemed to be constantly changing and swirling around behind us. Consequently six dogs were eliminated including the three with finds. The two survivors Davey Byrne’s Bawnrhu Glencora and Laurent Pemin’s Urtis de la Chaume rigault who was handled by a professional handler,

M.H. Munini. The judges ran these two dogs nearly to the point of exhaustion. The Red Setter pointed, worked out, produced his birds and was steady to wing and shot.

We headed back to the cars where there were speeches and presentations. M.Monini was presented with a bronze statue of a Red Setter on point. This statue had been donated by Christy and Maeve Davitt for the best French dog and so could be taken back to France. This made the dog an International Fieldtrial Champion! Dave Byrne and his dog Bawnrhu Glencora were presented with a trophy donated by Jean-Yves Prigent for the best Irish Red & White Setter on the day, A French dog owned by Bernard Trubuilt won the Fieldtrial on day two; also with a first excellent making him an International Fieldtrial Champion! Bernard Trubuilt and his dog Saphir De L’anse de t’y roux were also presented with a statue of a Red Setter on point which was presented by Tim Fox. Needless to say the French contingent went home very happy!

This is the first time that International Fieldtrials have been held in Ireland and the Club is extremely pleased with the success of the event. It was a momentous occasion with twenty-eight people travelling fro France to attend the trials. We have already received requests from France to hold more International Fieldtrials in the future.

Two International Field Trials were held in the Wicklow Mountains on Wednesday 08^th and Thursday 09^th August 2007.

The story began last year in France during the woodcocks field trials held in Brittany in November. Christy Davitt was there to judge some of these events. During a meal, Bernard Trubuilt, (Field Trial secretary of the Red Setter Club) has had an idea to propose to Christy to try to see if it could be possible to create some special events in Ireland in 2007. When Christy went back home he discussed this proposal with Terry O’Leary. Then the story started.

Terry and all his friends from the Irish Red and White Setter Club of Ireland worked hard to organize and make these events a reality. The week 32 was proposed in Ireland and in France. During this time in France, a group of friends said: OK, if possible we will go!!!

It was a race against time to be ready to go. The dog’s owners had had only 2 months to prepare their dogs - Vets passports and blood tests.

We have met Christy, Terry and Davy a second time during our Spring Field Trials in March 2007. A meeting to discuss the week had been organized, exploring the differences between the Irish and the French field trial rules. 28 people from France and Switzerland were ready to go, and also 8 dogs, all Irish Red Setters.

At the end of the Spring, we received some bad news from Ireland. It was feared that all the field trials may be cancelled. We were devastated. But the party wasn’t over. Some people: Christy, Maeve Waters, Terry, David Byrne, and most of the field trials passionate members, worked hard to let their vision happen. After some long weeks of waiting, when nobody thought it would end well, we received good news: things were looking better. We were happy for our Irish friends and also for ourselves!

Mr. Daniel Munini, a professional handler and trainer and his wife Renée were contacted and agreed to transport the dogs on through France and Ireland. It was decided that I would go with them to handle translations if necessary. We came by boat and the others came by plane.

Before crossing the sea, we have had a big shock. Some of the vet papers weren’t OK!!

All the blood tests were good, but some were not specified on the passports. We had only 90 minutes to find a vet, to explain the situation and luckily one agreed to sign the passports. We were back to the boat with only 20 minutes to departure. This crossing was very lucky for me. It allowed me to meet 2 lovely people: Daniel and Renée.

We arrived in Cork, and travelled on through the country until we reached Laragh in County Wicklow. We found our cottages, and I thought: “Thanks a lot, Christy and Maeve, you couldn’t have found a better place”. There were 5 superb cottages. We were all together in a very calm place with a wonderful view of a part of the Wicklow Mountains. We also had a place to let the dogs run, it was great. Every morning we saw some deer, we were enchanted!

On Sunday, we participated in an open stake held by the English Setter Club in Kippure.

We have had no luck with the weather. It was cold and rainy. We had seen some very good dogs, but the grouse weren’t there. At the end of the journey, we were all happy to go to our new headquarter: the Lynhams pub in Laragh.

On Tuesday was held a Confined Field Trial Stake by the Irish Red Setter Club. This took place in Kinnitty. The ground was really hard, spongy, and the heather was very high. It was a superb sunny day and we have seen a lot of grouse. We have had the pleasure of seeing a lot of good dogs, to compare their styles -We like the style and seeing the differences in the handling. This was one other real great day.

Saphir de l’Anse de Ty Roux, one of the Bernard’s dogs, received the first point of a French Irish Red Setter with grouse in Ireland. It was a big day and an honour for his owner.

A good evening was waiting for us; we had some nice times in pubs and during the meal organized by the Irish Red Setter Club.

On Wednesday the first Field Trial of the Irish Red and White Setter Club was held. It was held at the fall of Laragh on the Kippure Road. It was a combined stake - 8 Irish Red and White Setters against 8 French Irish Red Setters. Some of the Irish Red and White Setters owners have driven a long time, some from Ulster to participate to this event.

I will never forget. I have to say that these 2 events were a big honour for us, because CACITS were to be awarded.

I really thank, as I am sure does everyone from France, Terry and all his friends from the club for what they have done for us. It was incredible. Davy was there with his truck, a big table was prepared with breakfast, coffee and tea and it was wonderful. Hughie Brady and Christy were the judges on the day. Davy was the steward. The sun shone, the place was my favourite - A big flat valley, with mountains all around. It was incredible to see - a picture postcard from Ireland.

Not many people from France knew the Irish Red and White Setter style of working. It was a big surprise for us to see them running. We have gained great knowledge and can now talk about them!

The ground was full of grouse, Bernard’s dog, Saphir, once again had a super first round. Sadly, he was beaten out by a red and white during the second round. It could have been a great day for Saphir. Davy’s Red and White bitches were really good on game - fast and it was cool to look at them running. My wife Sophie and I really admired Craigrua Ospree. He is a beautiful dog, full of quality, always under control, really stylish; the kind we’ll like to have at home. At the end, only two dogs had game: The Davy’s Glencora and the Laurent Pernin ‘s Urtis, handled by Daniel Munini. These two dogs were really good on game during this day - magic I can say!! During the ultimate round, Urtis scented the air, crawled, and settled on a pair of grouse. Daniel asked him to show the birds, they flew off and Christy asked me to fire the shot. Urtis stayed steady on point!!! We saw Hughie jumped in the air, it was great: a judge really happy to see a good damned point.

Back to the cars, after the meal offered by the Irish Red and White Setter Club members, we waited for the awards. Urtis, 1^st excellent CACIT!! With this award, Urtis was now an International Field Trial Champion. I have seen the red eyes of Laurent and Daniel. It was grand!!! Some beautiful trophies were presented by Christy and Maeve for the Best Red, and by my old friend, Jean-Yves Prigent for the best Red and White owned by Davy Byrne.

The journey was over. We went back to the Lynhams pub to celebrate the result. Urtis was the first FCI International Field Trial Champion in Ireland.

We spend some great times on the pub, listening to Terry speaking about Mr. Jack Nash and talking about...dogs, of course.

Thursday the 09^th was the last field trial day. An open field trial was organized by The Irish Red and White Setter Club. More than 20 dogs took part. Declan O’Rourke and Timmy Fox were the judges. The event took place beyond Kippure, in a place where no trial had been held for a couple of years. The weather was good, the sun shone, it was a great day. The view was... whao!!! We could see a big part of Dublin bay, the sea and beyond. That place was another superb ground to trial. Some places were burned, some grasses were low, and some were very high. It was the day where the grounds were spectacular. The French dogs were better now, they were trained and they knew what kind of birds they were looking for. Once again, we walked for a long time facing the wind (we have walked a lot during this week) and once again we have seen great dogs running. I cannot speak about all of them but what I can say is that I have not seen a bad dog with game. There is an important difference between Irish and French dogs: most of the time, Irish people trained their dogs by themselves. In France most of ours dogs are trained by professional handlers. And I have realized that Irish people are really good trainers.

This day, Saphir has had one more find during his first run. During his second run, he was not very deep, but very wide. Then Christy’s Cindy had a find too, I was happy for him.

Cindy is a real good small English Setter bitch. She was a mother for two or three weeks, but she was fast. This bitch is very smart; we can see this in her eyes. I like how she looks.

After the last run I thought: “it is already finished...only one day and we’ll go back”.

We waited for the awards. Saphir, 1^st excellent CACIT said Declan. It was incredible, Saphir, also was FCI International Field Trial Champion with this result. Everybody congratulated Bernard.

Back at Laragh, tired but happy, we had a gala dinner organized by Terry and his friends. It was a lovely evening, full of discussions about dogs. Half of the French team returned to France after this night. Some of us stayed in Laragh until Saturday. Terry was there, again, to drive some of us to Dublin airport. Daniel, Renée and I spent a lot of time on the road to drink our last Smithwick’s, and we arrived to the ferry boat in Cork only 15 minutes before departure.

What I can say is that I am sure we will talk a long time in France about this week. Most of us had never been to Ireland before. These days will stay among my favourite memories.

I realise it must have been a lot of work to make this week come true and I know that everybody worked really hard to welcome and entertain 26 French people and 2 persons from Switzerland.

I wanted to thank you all, members of the Irish Red and White Setter Club for your real friendship and specially you: Terry, Davy, Christy and Maeve. Without you, none of this could have been possible.

Two Field Trials were held September 12 and 13 2006 to coincide with the International Conference weekend, a Confined Stake for Irish Red and White Setters won by Desi Linton's Craigrua Osprey, with Dairerose Blessing in Disguise in 2nd place, and a trial in which fifteen red Irish Setters competed against fifteen Irish Red and White Setters, which was won by Carol Calvert's red Irish Setter bitch Glenlark Mary Kate, and in 2nd place was Jim Sheridan's IRWS Craigrua Lucky

Tom Dunne

(a field trial judge who has seen many IRWS running in trials in Ireland and will be judging the Confined Stake in September 2006)

The society has been busy in both running Shows and Field Trials .It runs a Championship Show every year, which is followed on the next day by a Confined Stake. It also runs runs two Open Stakes and a Novice Stake for pointers and setters. With fellow traveller, John Crilly, I had the honour to judge the confined stake near Monasterevan Co. Kildare on the the 11^th of September 1988. There were eighteen dogs entered and the whole Trial was sponsored (generously, I might add, by Frank Mooney’s ELECTRO DISEAL CO.) There were some very good dogs on view and some, although not up to standard required, were, nonetheless, sportingly entered by their owners to support the Trial.

After a full first round we selected eight dogs, which we considered to be of Open Stake standard, one of these, Jim Sheridan’s R. Craig Rua Lady, having a find on wild pheasant. David Byrne’s Sugarloaf Millie had very good running and an excellent find in her second round but the brace of the day was John Carroll’s dog, Mona’s Choice, and Brian MacDiarmada’s dog, Macalla.These two Fairly flew until a hare prove too tempting for one. We awarded First to D. Byrne’s B. Sugarloaf Millie, second to J. Sheridan’s Craig Rua Lady and third (without game) to J. Carroll’s dog Mona’s Choice, which also received the award for best speciman. There had been others, too, in the running for this award but they transgressed.

It was a most enjoyable Trial to judge on a lovely autumn day and on smashing ground.

In Open Stakes, which must be the yardstick, the Red &White is beginning to make its mark. Such dogs as Ch. Knockane Sherry, with several awards including third in the IKC’S Championship Stake, three Open Stakes and the Confined already mentioned; Ben of Sugarloaf, Hawk of Ludford; Meudon Avondale and those already mentioned are on par with other setters and pointers.

There are now seven Champions.

These are:

Mr. T. O’Leary’ s Knockane Sherry

Mr. V Brennan’s Pride of Erne

Mrs Davy’s Shannonlee Amber Flame (In England)

And Canon Doherty’s four:

Meudon Blaze

Mount Eagle Bell

Heather Breeze

Sheebhin Ard Na Coille

Canon Doherty is President of the society. I was instrumental in awarding Show qualifiers in the field of two of the latter and can confirm that both had outstanding noses and would make excellent shooting dogs and one, in particular a fine Trial dog.

Numerically, Red &White Setters are, as yet, scarce which is only to be expected. However, the IKC approved the Society’s Breeding Development Plan which involved nine selected mating between Red &White and Red Setters over a period up to December 1990 and four of such mating have already taken place.

Each subject for mating is carefully assessed with regard to type, confirmation, temperament and working ability: the end objective being to improve the genetic base without compromising any points of the breed. All Red & White pups, prior to registration, must be passed as to colour etc. and only those who meet the exacting standards will be registered wit the IKC.

I am indebted for most of the aforementioned to John Carroll, enthusiastice Hon. Secretary of the Society and to that great lady, Mrs. Cuddy, long-time breeder and Champion of the Irish Red & White cause.

The Society is most earnest in it’s efforts and has had tremendous success in its short existence. However, the reviving has to be a slow process (deliberately so), which cannot be, achieved overnight but, if success continues at its present rate and if patience is practised, then the Society will succeed.

It is important that the judges and breeders of the Irish Re &White Setter realise that he must not bear any resemblance to the English Setter, neither in form nor in mode of work nor yet particularly with regard to markings.

IRISH RED AND WHITE SETTERS

MAYFLY

IF YOU IMAGINE we are playing the psychologists' game of "associations", and I say the words "Irish Setter" there is a fair chance you may reply "red dog" or "rich chestnut colour" or some such and we shall ignore those unworthy persons who are tempted to reply, "daft, neurotic dogs." The colour factor in our conception of the Irish setter is so strong that we use the term "red setter" quite interchangeably, and understandably so. For the Irish setter is, indeed, a predominantly red animal. But look really closely at them, especially the working specimens and you will almost always be able to detect some traces of white.

It may be a blaze on the head, or a patch on the chest, or perhaps only a tuft of white between the toes, but there will almost certainly be white hair somewhere, for the very good reason that the Irish setter was originally a red and white dog. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say a white-and-red dog, for the original breed was predominantly white, with red patches and spots.

And a very handsome animal it was, if we believe the old pictures and prints which portray a setter not unlike some styles of modern English setter, but with rich red colouring where the English setter would probably be lemon or orange in colour. But the dog world is subject to its fads and fashions, and in the 19th century there was a major trend towards the predominantly red strains of Irish setter. Selective breeding emphasized the red colouring more and more, until the breed had become an almost solid red type, with only a few residual white markings to betray its earlier style. This was true of both the working and the show-bred strains, although the anti-white prejudice was strongest in the show world. Shooting men, as might be expected, bred from those animals which exhibited the best working characteristics. Looks, conformation and colour were always secondary considerations.

However, for the past century or so, the term "Irish setter" has generally been taken to denote an almost solid-red animal, but it is worth remembering that change, especially in matters Irish, is often very slow. Remember the story about the airline captain about to land his aircraft at Dublin and saying on the tannoy: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are just about to land in Ireland. Kindly put your watches back 50 years."?

In odd corners of Ireland, chiefly in the south and west, a few kennels of the old red and White blood have lingered on, often from the simple devotion of one family to its favourite bloodlines. In many cases the dogs were not registered with any Kennel Club, nor were breeders unduly concerned with keeping careful pedigree records. It was enough for them that their dogs ran well in the shooting field - and what fellow-sportsmen could find fault with that?

Those changing fashions I referred to have led in recent years to a resurgence of interest in these old-style red-and-white dogs, and to the eventual formation of the Irish Red and White Setter Field and Show Society. It is a small but growing group of enthusiasts who are eagerly researching the old, almost-forgotten blood lines and breeding accordingly, in an attempt to restore the original style of setter. The English and Irish Kennel Clubs have co-operated, while still setting strict standard and requiring vetting for true type before registration is permitted, but there are encouraging signs that headway is being made, slowly but surely.

On March 13 last I had the privilege of attending an historic event. At Wilkinson County Meath the Society held a Confined Novice Field Trial Stake for red-and-white setters, believed to be the first for almost a century, and certainly the first ever held under the rules of the Irish Kennel Club.

It was an impressive and nostalgic sight to see these old-style dogs assembled with their handlers beneath the ivy-clad walls of ruined Wilkinstown Castle, to run the stake in what had been the Castle demesne. A small field of 10 dogs was judged by Mrs. K. Bride and Mr. M. Carroll, with game consisting principally of pheasants and snipe.

No one present would claim that it was the world's most polished day's trialing. A number of handlers lacked in experience and handling ability what they made up for in enthusiasm and dedication, and most of the dogs exhibited faults which would have been eliminating factors in major setter trials. But several dogs and handlers showed promise, as the judges noted in their summing-up, and the most important aspect of the event was the potential it revealed for the future. Sean Walsh of Dublin, with his mis-marked red-and-white dog Hawk of Knockalla, from the kennels of Mr and Mrs W.L. Cuddy, made a little bit of history by taking the first prize and cup in this event.

What we saw that day in the fields of Wilkinstown, and later that week, on St Patrick's Day, on the show-benches of the Royal Dublin Society, represents not an end but merely a beginning. Setter enthusiasts and traditionalists everywhere - and aren't all field-sportsmen traditionalists at heart? - will wish the Society well, and look with great interest at their efforts to revive a handsome and once-famous style of setter.
