French Championship 13/06/2009 : The disaster.....for the "french" Irish setter....

[Cecilia GUIOT]

I'm really ashamed to present you the best bitches from the french championship. The CACIB went to the bitch from the left ( 4 years) !!!!!!
No comment or .....

First job for this new club would be to 'form new judges willing to judge by the breed standard'

[Dawn Riddell]

Actually I fail to see how the little bitch on the left could possibly do a days work, her construction is so poor. She has to be the ugliest Irish Setter I've ever seen, and I never thought I'd ever say a thing like that. So sorry baby...........

im not into showing but i know there would have been better dogs at the show (no disrepect to the owners) to have won or god help the irish setters in france.maybe my laylas a little over weight!!!!!

[Carmel Murphy]

I have sent the photo to the administrator of the IrishRedSetterClub website and have asked him to post it on the site but will wait and see if he does so!!!!

[Frances McKimm]

What I cannot understand is that the French Kennel club allows French judges to completely and utterly disrespect the FCI breed standard!
How is this possible?

[Melinda Auld]

Interesting... We have a French judge coming here soon. I wonder what will happen!

Lors d'une speciale,jai appris que le president du Red Club decidais lui meme,et qu'il interdisait aux juges du RED CLUB de faire gagner un chien"EXPOSITIONNEL" c'est a dire au dessus de 65 cm,trop de poils au risque d'etre exclu du RED CLUB.Heureusement,le jour de cette speciale il n'y avait pas de chiens de travail.
En confirmation,il y en avait,et je puis vous dire que j'etais triste de voir ce genre de Setter,et deja dans quel etat ils etaient.J'ai honte pour la France,et pourtant je suis Francais

???????????? That`s the only thing I`m able to say!!!

no comment!

I agree with Frances about a new Club in France for Irish Setters....I thought about this a couple of years ago but I was told only One club per breed is allowed in France.....Is this correct? We have so many different Clubs here in the UK ....The new Club could make sure the Standard is understood , also it would be of benefit to Breeders out there who do not seem to realise how they have destroyed this lovely Breed.
