Veteran Bitch (3,2)
1st: BULLINGHAM Stoweytop Sea of Stars

Many thanks to Pauline and Ian Sidgwick for their good company and doing such a good job keeping the ring in order. We managed to stay outside until just before the DCC & the grassy indoor ring conditions were not ideal for miniature dachshunds, but they coped admirably I thought. I enjoyed judging this lovely entry and thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their charges.

MPD (3) 1 Rozamie Tiger Feet (Magri), brindle dog & a good start to the day, liked his head and eye, very typical and keen in expression, beautiful front, firm topline & tail well set and carried correctly. In super muscular condition & peak fitness, I thought he was lovely. Very accurate up and back and carried himself well in profile. BPD & only beaten by the lovely CC winning puppy bitch for BPIB. Will have many more good days as he is full of quality. 2 Bronia Daimmen (Hanney-Mitchell), B/T dog & another with a super outline and shape. Excellent head and eye, good strength but not coarse; well made in front, firm topline and neat underline; good static balance & retained his outline on the move; not quite so free as the winner today, but he is very sound and with lots to like. 3 Stoweytop Red Endeavour (Bullingham)

PD (6,2) 1 Clentry Desperado (Andison), B/T dog who wasn’t the winner of this class until the final go around; liked his head which is maturing nicely, good expression & balance to skull; well made in front and firm enough in topline; used himself well on the move which is where he won the class on the final go around, as he pulled himself together to give a lovely silhouette. Very accurate up and back & most promising. 2 Shantallah Fire Starter at Atikan (O’Hare Wilson & Wilson), I see a son of the DCC winner, I thought this shaded red dog would be the winner on first inspection. Good to go over on the table, his head is perhaps not his best feature; but it is balanced with some strength. Forelegs could be a touch neater, but his body is well knit & he is in optimum condition. Initially he went better than Desperado, but on the final analysis Desperado upped his game & Fire Starter didn’t quite have the same carriage. 3 Elnside Galaxy Defender (Mcaulay).

JD (2) 1 Glynfelin Phoenix Odyssey (Morrin & Barbi), B/T dog not yet a year old & is not so advanced in body as some of his peers; good head and eye, enough neck and fair shoulders, firm enough in topline & whilst enjoying himself as he went, he did show glimpses of his soundness and so was edged over 2 here as he coped better with the conditions. 2 Russteck Red Mcgregor (Black & Russell & Cross), red dog who I thought would be the winner as he is better for type, good to go over on the table, not perfectly happy with the conditions today either standing or moving & I don’t blame him, paid the price today but I am sure once he gets his act together will have many good days as he is very smart.

YD (3) 1 Melriding Black Tom ( Melbourne, Paget & Carroll), quality B/T dog who is very shapely. Lots to like on the table, very good in head and eye; enough neck & return of upperarm, firm topline and beautifully hammy hindquarters, used himself well on the move going with a sound, free action and is particularly eye catching in profile. 2 Bronia’s Armand at Cazdachs (Strange), red dog & another with a good head and eye, a touch deeper all through than the winner & cuts up a little more sharply; but he is very sound on the move and uses himself well. Presented in first class order and in super muscle tone. 3 Mumysami You’re All I Need (Holmes).

ND (3) 1 Bronia Donatello for Wakywilks (Wilkinson & Wakeham), B/T litter brother to Daimmen and shares many of his brother’s attributes. Won this class on his overall shape and outline, both standing and moving. Liked his head and eye, good forehand & keel; firm topline & well-muscled quarters; sound and accurate on the move and shows lots of promise. 2 Mumysami You’re All I Need (Holmes), shaded red who I also thought was quite nice for shape and outline. Good head and eye, enough neck and decent front; firm enough in topline and has good hindquarters. Perhaps not so free on the move as Donatello but a good quality dog. 3 Nisyros Lorenzo at Greyvista (Mills).

PGD (6) 1 Rozamie Red Corvette (Magri), shaded red dog & good winner of this class, liked him first off for his balance on the table, good head and eye, keen expression & balance to skull; good shoulder and upperarm, excellent keel, firm topline and good hammy hindquarters. Very free and easy on the move and goes with a touch of youthful exuberance, enjoying himself all the while. Keeps his outline and carries himself well and I thought he well deserved the RDCC in this good entry of males. 2 Bronia Chevalier (Scott), shaded red dog with lots to like, good head and eye, very good expression & balance to skull. Perhaps not quite so good in front as the winner, but he is well ribbed back & has a firm topline. Carries himself well on the move, just not quite so free and easy as the winner. 3 Marvale Kingfisher (Downie).

LD (4) 1 Bronia Gabriel for Wakywilks JW (Wilkinson & Wakeham), shaded red dog & another who I thought was very good, seemingly typical of the breeding which won well here today. Lots to like, super head and eye, good front & keel; firm topline, good ground clearance and very sound up and back; eyecatching in profile. Very smart young dog. 2 Stargang Hay Bob at Feebrick (Francis), red dog who presents a good shape and outline. Not quite the head or front of the winner, but quite balanced and typical. Sound on the move; but could have been a little cleaner coming to me I thought. Very well presented and handled. 3 Clentry Cranberry (Burnett).

OD (4,1) 1 Ch Marvale Firecrest (Paget & Carroll), smashing red dog with a lot of quality. Caught my eye as soon as he came in & held my attention. Excellent head and expression, beautiful in front, well ribbed back and firm in topline. In super muscular condition and at the peak of fitness. Used himself very well on the move, very true away and back & super in profile. Held his typical and most admirable outline at all times. Liked him a lot here, my eye was drawn to him all the time and he continued to impress right through to take, ultimately, the DCC & BOB. Well done on G4. 2 D’arisca Dinner at Eight (Coxon), B/T and a different shape to the winner. I liked his head and eye, just found him a touch deeper in front & not quite the angulation throughout as the winner. Well ribbed & kept his topline standing and moving. Kept his outline in profile and he is in super condition. 3 Stargang Magic Alfie Moon at Cazdachs (Strange).

VD (1) Duddondaxs Judge Jude for Jenivon (Jennings), the last one who was judged outside in the rain! Liked this old man for his shape and quality, he has a good head and eye, is a good shape & in excellent fit muscle-tone. Makes more of himself on the floor than on the table and went with a good, free and easy action. BVIB. MPB (4) 1 Bronia Blayze (Hanney-Mitchell), beautiful shaded red youngster who caught my eye the minute she came in the ring & I was quite excited to get her on the table and see if she would be as good as she looked on the ground. Quite an arresting outline to stand back and take in. I thought she was, super head and expression, beautifully fronted & excellent shoulders; firm topline and neat underline; hammy bum & super rear angulation. Very angular on the table and so well knit; and on the move she goes with a free, easy action like she has been doing it forever! In this class I thought she stood out & she looks the puppy she is; but in the challenge my eye was drawn to her all the time and I felt she deserved the big green card. Quite special I thought. BCC, BOS & BPIB. 2 Lokmadi Don’t Bring Lulu (Kent), I see sired by the RDCC winner & granddaughter of the 3rd in OB; this B/T bitch has a lot going for her. She shows lots of promise, correct head and eye, good expression and balance to skull; good shoulder and upper arm, firm enough in topline and used herself well on the move. 3 Loggeta Lucky Swirl at Clavennae (Foley).

PB (6,2) 1 Clentry Red Hot An Smoking (Andison), very nice red puppy; good head and eye, enough neck & firm topline; neat underline and good quarters. Standing on good legs and feet, she went with power and ease and coped well with the conditions; lots to like and most promising. 2 Marvale Golden Plover (Paget & Carroll), lovely name for this red puppy who I thought might be the winner on first glance. She has everything I like in the variety and is good to go over & equally as good on the move. As with all the dogs from this kennel, presented in super fit, hard condition; lacking a little in confidence compared to the winner, who coped admirably with the conditions. Sound and free & most promising. 3 Marvale Rosefinch at Helydon (Kirkwood-Emery). JB (5) 1 Jenivon’s Jenny Wren (Jennings), three nice bitches here & the winner was this shaded red, very typical of her breeding; lots to like on the table and when she was moving. Good head and eye, very expressive, firm front, good keel and ribbing; kept her outline in profile and used herself well, which is what gave her the edge over 2 here. 2 Marvale Fieldfare (Andison), close relation of the winner & I liked the shape and outline of this red. Very nice expression, good strength throughout; good shoulders and upperarm, firm enough in topline and sound on the move. Just preferred the profile of the winner on the day. 3 Clentry Mary Poppins at Atikan (O’Hare Wilson & Wilson).

YB (4) 1 Melriding Sisi (Melbourne, Paget & Carroll), litter sister to Black Tom & cut very much from the same mould. Lots to like about her, very typical throughout and all of a piece. Super head and eye, well made in front and balanced throughout. In excellent muscular condition as were all the dogs from this kennel. I would imagine on this form she too could carry a title. 2 Shantallah Song of The Lark by Nisyros (Anderson & Watt), thought this bitch would be the winner on first glance & she is very typical of her breeding. Lovely size, beautiful head and eye, good forehand and keel; well ribbed back and good tail for both set and carriage. She is sound on the move & quite enjoyed playing up her skilled handler! Close call and I liked her a lot. 3 Mumysami Beth Level of Crazy (Cumberland).

NB (4) 1 Marvale Rosefinch at Helydon (Kirkwood-Emery), third in PB & not disgraced there, I see she is Golden Plover’s sister and is quite similar in most respects. Not quite so free on the move as the two above her in the earlier class but she went better here and showed me what she was made of. A very useful bitch with a lot of quality. 2 Bronia Bijoux for Wakywilks (Wilkinson & Wakeham), litter sister to the BCC winner & you can tell; very good in head and eye, perhaps not the front angulation of her sister but it is acceptable; good in topline and quarters; very good in profile on the move and like most here today, in great condition. 3 Lokmadi Don’t Bring Lulu (Kent). GB (2,1) 1 Linburndax Haggis Bon Babe (Wilson), B/T bitch, typical head and eye, could have a touch more neck and be a little better in front, enough ribbing but a touch longer in loin than ideal. Firm hindquarters but could be a touch more stable when returning. Good shape in profile and used herself well.

PGB (2) 1 Zilveraat Moulin Rouge (Wilson), red bitch & a touch rangier than I would prefer. Good head, eyes perhaps a touch round. Good quarters and firm topline; perhaps a bit shorter than ideal in body. Sound and active on the move and in good muscular condition throughout. 2 Gordax Bunty (Tait), shaded red bitch, perhaps a mite better in head and expression than the winner, but not quite so good in front or hindquarters on the move. Well-conditioned in body and in quite good muscular condition. Well presented and handled.

LB (8,2) 1 Brogansian Gingerella (Fleming), another good class where any of the first four could have been further up the line and it was really only minor details and preferences that separated them. Very nice red, good head and eye, very typical & with strength; but retaining femininity, lots to like on going over her and she is in super fit condition. Moved with good, free easy strides & was close up in the challenge. Title bound I am sure. 2 Jenivons Miss Marple (Jennings), shaded red bitch & this was a close call as I did like her very much too; felt the winner coped better in the damp conditions we found ourselves in; but she too is a very shapely bitch with a lot of qualities. Beautiful head and eye, excellent forehand, super body & very sound. I would imagine like the winner, she too will carry a title in time and would do so deservedly in my opinion. 3 Lokmadi Oh What A Circus (Kent).

OB (7,2) 1 D’arisca Little Black Dress (Coxon), B/T and a good winner of this nice class. Liked her head and eye, very typical and correct, intelligent expression, full of life & keen, so good to go over, all of a piece, well ribbed back & firm throughout; just enough ground clearance & used herself very well on the move to win here over 2nd and take the RBCC. 2 Ch Marvale Sandpiper (Paget & Carroll), red litter sister to DCC & they are very much out of the same mould. She is like a feminine version of him and I admired her qualities a lot. Good in head and eye, firm quarters and good feet. Well ribbed back, firm in topline and good hindquarters. Used herself well on the move but didn’t cope with the conditions quite as well as Little Black Dress. Lovely bitch & worthy Ch. 3 Lokmadi with A Dragon Tattoo (Magri & O’Connell & O’Connell), completed a trio of lovely bitches.

VB (3,2) 1 Stoweytop Sea of Stars (Bullingham), shaded red bitch & it is scary to see a DOB of 2016 and see that she is a veteran, time flies! Lots to like, enough strength to muzzle, ears could perhaps be a touch better set & she could have more layback in front; free and easy on the move and is sound. BVB.
