HOLTOM Ralines Cameo at Rivandell
I would like to thank the Eastern Counties Dachshund Association for the invitation to judge at their Championship Show, and the exhibitors for bringing such a lovely entry. It was a pleasure to go over the dogs and bitches, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Thank you also to the steward for his help and efficiency.
Elbows, although improved since my last appointment, still remain an area requiring attention, along with ribbing. Overall muscle tone and condition were pleasing.
Baby Puppy Dog/Bitch
1st – PARTRIDGE Minard Maze of Memories for Riveroyal
A very promising baby with much to like. Presented a pleasing overall picture, with attractive breed character and a lovely, alert expression. Good proportions for one so young, with plenty of promise in body and outline. A pleasing start to a show career.
2nd – CHURCH Summerview Midnight Clover at Floxie
Another nice baby who was a pleasure to assess. Presented a pleasing outline with good breed character and a happy attitude. Still very much a baby in development, but showed some nice qualities. Would benefit from time to mature and strengthen throughout.
3rd: BATER Zilcan Black Tie Affair
Minor Puppy Dog
1st – FAIRCHILD & POOLE Restinim Mr Pickwick
A very pleasing youngster who caught my eye for his overall balance and type. Attractive head and expression, with good length of body and pleasing proportions. Good bone for his size and developing nicely through the body. Moved with purpose and showed himself well. A promising puppy and one to watch.
2nd – NEASBY Dachadam Midnite Express for Ulan
Good breed type and a pleasing head, with an attractive expression. Presented a nice outline and showed good character. A happy boy who clearly enjoyed his day.
3rd: BATER Russteck Moonlight Shadow
Puppy Dog
1st – PHILLIPS Dizzydax's Storming Norman at Summerview
A lovely puppy who impressed me with his overall presence. Good length and proportions, with a pleasing topline and sufficient ground clearance. Attractive head and expression, with a confident and outgoing temperament. Moved well for his age, maintaining a pleasing outline. Best Puppy Dog.
2nd – NEASBY Dachadam Midnite Express for Ulani
Junior Dog
1st – POOLE Findowrie The Field Marshal
A very pleasing junior with good overall type. Well proportioned, with a pleasing head and intelligent expression. Good length of body and the best ribbing of the day, with a firm outline. Good hindquarters and moved with drive once settled. Highly considered for the top awards.
2nd – WOODVINE-SHONE Hanishan Starlightexpress
A quality dog with much to admire, as expected from this kennel. Good breed character and a pleasing outline, with an attractive head and expression. Well presented and shown in good condition. Moved well, although I just preferred the overall balance and carriage of the winner.
3rd: WHITNALL Jentiki Dark Night for Cankasper
Post Graduate Dog
1st – BATER All for Show
Good head, eye and mouth. Presented a balanced outline, with good body length and ribbing. Moved freely and showed himself well. Won the class on his movement.
2nd – NEASBY Erinshore Red Robin for Ulani
A nice dog with good breed character. Pleasing overall shape and proportions, with a good head and expression.
Limit Dog
1st – BENNETT & DRAKE Xemxija Ice Onyx
A nice black and tan male with a good hound head, correct eye shape and bite. Well-placed shoulders and good spring of rib. Pleasing hindquarters, which he used to his advantage in the ring. I liked his ground clearance and free movement. A well-deserved first place.
2nd – FAIRCHILD Restinim Mr Pip
A quality exhibit with much to admire. Good breed type, pleasing head and expression, and a nice overall outline. Presented in good condition and showed himself well. A close decision, with the winner having the advantage in overall ground clearance.
3rd: TURTON Cornwalldaxs Midnight Star at Damordaxies
Open Dog
A class with three dogs, all possessing the qualities we desire in our breed.
1st – DALTON Llansansior On the Rocks
An impressive dog who stood out for his overall quality. Well balanced, with a pleasing length of body, strong construction and a good, firm outline. Attractive head and expression, with perfect pigmentation. Well schooled, well muscled and using his hind movement to freely and positively power around the ring. He maintained his shape both coming and going. Presented to perfection, he really did take me by surprise. A worthy Dog CC winner.
2nd – DRADY Ch Indiko Fire And Ice JW
A quality champion with much to admire, and I have admired him ringside since he was a Minor Puppy. Good breed character and a lovely head. Good body proportions and an attractive outline. Lovely neck leading into a good front, well-placed elbows and pleasing ribbing. Presented in excellent condition. I just preferred the overall movement of the winner on the day. Another highly considered for the top awards and, no doubt, will go on to achieve many more wins.
3rd: MCSORLEY Barlaine Midnight Charmer
Veteran Dog
1st – WOODVINE-SHONE Ch Hanishan Fire Cracker
A lovely veteran who was a pleasure to judge. I have awarded this boy a CC
before. Clearly retaining his breed type and quality, with a pleasing head and
expression and a good overall outline. Showed himself with confidence and
enthusiasm, moving well and thoroughly enjoying his day out. A credit to his
owner and breeder. Delighted to award him the RCC and Best Veteran. One to watch
and learn from.
Minor Puppy Bitch
Both girls were ones I would happily have taken home.
1st – POOLE & FAIRCHILD Restinim Miss Heversham
A particularly promising young bitch who immediately appealed for her overall type and balance. Lovely feminine head and expression, with good proportions and a pleasing outline. Developing nicely for her age, with good character and a confident attitude. Moved happily and showed herself to advantage. A very exciting prospect. Best Puppy Bitch and Best Puppy in Breed.
2nd – HOLTOM Rivandell Jenny Wren
A very nice puppy with plenty to like. Feminine and attractive, with a pleasing head and expression. Good overall proportions and a nice outline. Showed a happy temperament and moved well for her age. Still has some developing to do, but a promising youngster.
3rd: BATER Ciselsig Copper Top
Puppy Bitch
1st – HOLTOM Rivandell Jenny Wren
2nd – FAIRCHILD & POOLE Restinim Miss Peggitty
Another quality puppy, with a feminine expression and a nice overall shape. Liked her ribbing and hindquarters. Good length of body and developing well. Moved steadily once settled.
3rd: TAVERENER Cheritonadax Marsanne at Tavertekal
Junior Bitch
1st – WOODVINE-SHONE Jentiki Burnt Toast
A very attractive junior with much to admire. Good feminine type, with an appealing head and expression. Pleasing body proportions, with a good outline and sufficient ground clearance. Her shoulders are her selling point. Showed herself confidently and moved well, maintaining her shape throughout. A lovely young bitch with a bright future.
2nd – POOLE & FAIRCHILD Findowrie Forget Me Not
Feminine and pleasing in outline, with a nice head and expression. Good body length and a pleasing overall picture. Moved well and showed herself to advantage. One who, once matured, should also enjoy further success.
3rd: DRADY Bronia Celestial at Indiko
Post Graduate Bitch
1st – MCSORLEY Barlaine Midsummer Magic
A lovely bitch with excellent breed character. Well balanced, with an attractive feminine head and intelligent expression. Good length of body, with a pleasing topline and overall construction. Her neck flows into well-laid shoulders, and her rear construction is pleasing. Presented in good condition and moved freely. RCC
2nd – PARTRIDGE Minard Darque Reflection
A quality bitch who was close up for the win. Attractive feminine expression, with good breed type, as expected from her breeding. Good body proportions and presented in nice condition. Moved well and showed herself confidently.
3rd: CHURCH Chriskim's Golden Ticket at Floxie
Limit Bitch
1st – LATHAM-JACKSON Urishay Nell Gwyn
Wow! She loved her day out. It was her ring, and I had to agree with her! Attractive head and expression. Pleasing shoulders and ribbing. Good length and balance, with a confident temperament. Moved well and presented a lovely overall picture.
2nd – FAIRCHILD & POOLE Findowrie Field of Dreams and Restinim
A quality exhibit with plenty to admire. One I would describe as an old-school
Miniature Longhair. Pleasing eye, with an attractive head and a good overall
shape. Good front and rear angulation. Well presented and moved steadily, but I
felt she was unhappy with the floor today.
Open Bitch
1st – WAY Ralines Ways and Means JW
An outstanding bitch who immediately caught my attention. At first, I wondered whether it was her colour that made her stand out, but it was not. She is of excellent breed type, with a lovely feminine head, intelligent expression and a beautifully balanced outline. Good length of body, strong construction and a pleasing topline, with fantastic muscle tone. Moved freely and effortlessly, retaining her shape throughout. She has an air of arrogance about her, and she is very much entitled to it! Presented in excellent condition, with lovely ring presence. A very deserving Bitch CC and Best of Breed .
2nd – GRAHAM Ch Ralines Coalition with Jadag
A quality champion with much to admire. Sister to the winner, and you can see in her construction that they share the same qualities. Well proportioned, with a pleasing outline and good body length. Presented in excellent condition and moved well, but was not quite as happy as the winner with the floor today. A worthy second to a particularly outstanding winner. Considered for the RCC.
3rd: MCSORLEY Barlaine Golden Honey
Veteran Bitch
1st – HOLTOM Ralines Cameo at Rivandell
A lovely veteran bitch who clearly retains her breed qualities. Feminine and attractive, with a pleasing head and expression. Good overall proportions and a nice outline for her age. Showed herself with confidence. A pleasure to judge and a credit to her owner.
