The Irish Terrier carries the nickname “Daredevil” for his spirited and game character, showing fire and animation. The standard is clear on this and other points, and the parent club has an excellent guide to judging the breed available for download on their website. I was looking forward to consistency in Irish Terrier survey results.

Later, I became involved with Bichon Frise while still in the Miscellaneous Class and continued with them once they became members of the Non-Sporting group. While living in New York I judged several all breed AKC-sanctioned Match shows.
