A PROUD PLATFORM TO PROMOTE IRISH JUDGING AND STEWARTSHIP.

The Irish Show Community are proud of our heritage and actively encourage those with the eye and interest to move up the ladder to exhibit that Ireland not only breeds some of the best Dogs in the world but also some of the best Judges.

Irish criteria require prospective Judges to work their way up, committing themselves to a period of Stewardship, then Judging at Open Shows before finally progressing to Championship level, where you may expand your Breeds, to Group, expand over the years to all Groups and then Best in Show Level Judging.

In order to help actively facilitate these requirements and progression of Irish Canine Judging, both the Cocker Spaniel Club of Ireland & the Dublin Cocker Spaniel Society took the decision in 2010 to hold an annual All Breed Open Show with a mixture of first time and progressing Irish Judges.

We welcome your support.

We wish to thank the lads from "Pet Solutions" for their consideration and generosity in sponsoring our event. These two lads are working their backsides off to support the Irish show scene and it needs to be said, we recognise their hard work, appreciate their support and can't fault them on their integrity.
