MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED

Thank you for such a lovely entry. It is around three years since I judged this breed. The same faults are still with us, but on saying that, I judge the other varieties of Dachshund and they also have many of the same faults. I do not agree with any cross mating as yet. In my entry today there were many animals which can give benefits to correct the problems if you study their pedigrees, and use the animals that have the things your bitch or dog fails in you can improve. It maybe a kennel you would not think of going to normally. A very well known breeder once stated many years ago that even if the owner is perhaps disliked by you, if you need to improve your stock, put this at the back of your mind and ask for permission to use their animals. When I was seriously breeding and showing, I took my bitches to numerous kennels, and over some 40 years have bred and exported numerous champions and CC winners. Main failings are mouths with missing teeth, at least eight animals today had only four bottom incissors and one with only three. Bites were ok. Shoulders are lacking in length of upper arm. Most have good length and layback of shoulder. Coats on most were harsh, some need to be stripped right down to encourage better texture. Size was not a problem, although I had to have a word with one owner as their exhibit was too thin and not really quality. A pet home would be best I feel. Movement on the whole was ok. The worst problem seemed to be close front and rear action. I had one or two really nice ones who failed in this department and quite a number could not cope with the ground. This is where the slightly taller animals excelled. My CC winners and top winners in good classes also mostly coped well. Temperaments were good on the whole, only two or three lacking the temperament we require in a small hound.

MPD(3, 1) 1 Sheridan &Williams’ Wynsmoor Mister Chips. Best DP. Just loved this 9 months baby. His first show and really enjoying himself. So nice to see. Super dark brindle, harsh coat, well boned, excelled in front development which this variety lacks, chunky feet. When he settled his movement in profile was good, coming to and going away was difficult to assess, but he should settle with maturity. Lovely mouth. 2 Hardy’s Kushwin Gamekeeper. Another promising baby, but only 6 months. Very typy, lovely head, not quite the development in front of the winner as yet but much younger. I don’t think he knows how to walk in a straight line at the moment, but so happy. Little between these two. Promising.

PD(4) 1 Young & Otter’s Tarkus Windy Miller Portalutra. Good size, typy lighter brindle, well bodied, decent shoulders and hind angulation, coat not quite as hard as winner of PD but well presented, moved truly away and in profile, covering the ground well, shade close coming to me. 2 Sheridan &Williams’ Wyndsmoor Son Of Crinkles. Litter brother to MPD winner, and same remarks apply in every way. The handler could not get him to move at all really but he is appealing and nice to go over on the table. He deserved his place. 3 Kirkwood’s Waldmeister Gordo At Helydon.

JD(6) Apart from my winner, this was a disappointing class. He stood apart from the rest. 1 CC, BOB and Group 2. What an impressive dog. Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat Winalot. His name is very appropriate. I’m sure he will go on to do much more. This was his third CC so makes him up. Correct ground clearance, excellent shoulders and hind angulation, good width throughout, no narrowness coming and going away here, he has a lovely masculine head and is well boned throughout, moved with great style. I was delighted to see him go Group 2. 2 Moore’s Danvichar Euphrasia. Good coat, lacks length of upper arm, kept a decent topline moving in profile. 3 Baxter’s Kapodachlove Me At Hotwire.

PGD(8) Better class. 1 Price’s Samlane Tetley. Beautifully presented, well bodied brindle boy, super coat, masculine head, well boned, excellent mouth, nice to go over, sound mover but seemed a little unsettled on moving around with the rest of the class. Will have a better day I feel. 2 Macdonough’s Varrich Benlui. Lighter brindle with a decent head, well developed front and length of ribbing, moved soundly going away but was a shade close coming to. 3 Fountain’s Cratloe Spot On.

LD(5) 1 Russell’s Russteck Fillibeg. Very attractive blk/tan, he was in lovely condition, harsh, gleaming coat, masculine head, good length of neck leading into decent shoulders, strong hindquarters, looks stunning standing and moving in profile, so sound, to be critical, would like a shorter loin, but he is a lovely dog. 2 Black’s Bassodon Bilbie. Dark brindle of quality, well made throughout, good head, coped well with the ground, shade close in front but sound mover and looked well going around, nice lad. 3 Hassall &Mcleod’s Sidelock Formula One.

OD(3) 1 Horswell &Iwama’s Ch &Jap Ch Drakesleat JP Trier Winshoten (Imp). RCC. Sire of the CC winner and so very similar in type, stood out here, again very handsome male head, good mouth, angulation front and rear is excellent, lengthy ribbing and short loin, took him a while to settle on the move but very sound throughout, coat not quite at its best today. 2 Douglas &Banks’ Torabbi Welsh Malt. Nice type, excellent head, harsh jacket, sound mover, at eight years lacks the style and overall quality of one. 3 Miller’s Bothlyn Timemaster At Sharplaw.

MPB(10) Quality babies here, sosme will see a better day. 1 Russell’s Russteck Perchance To Dream. Only 6 months, really taken with this one, very shapely all through, very harsh coated, beautifully presented, nice bone, shoulders were well angulated, good front and strong hindquarters which she uses well, really striding out, her movement going away and coming to me was correct, when moving around the ring she was playing the fool, but outline was nice the times she settled. The winner of BP is older and more mature in outlook but when she learns to be a lady, should do well. 2 Marston-Teal’s Lordscairnie Xclusive Love. Nice type of girl, well developed all through, sound, stylish mover, good coat but not quite as harsh as the winners. 3 Dunn’s Barratini Bumble At Ashridge.

PB(8) 1 Kugow & Holt’s Waldmeister Steffi. BP. Quality lady, so stylish, catches your eye on entering the ring, lovely size, well boned with thick padded feet, feminine head with excellent mouth, so sadly lacking in many. Extremely sound mover. 2 BarneyVerrami Ava Nummer Romaunt. Shapely girl with a well developed front and length of ribbing, decent shoulders, sound mover but a shade unsettled which affected her topline at times. 3 Sutton’s Tarkus Daydreamer.

JB(11) Much better class than JD. 1 Rose &Williams’ Tythe Rhian. RCC. Very taken with this lady. Lovely size and so feminine, well developed front and length of ribbing, well laid shoulders with good length of upper arm, appealing head, correct mouth, good width coming to and going away, kept her lovely outline at all times, nicely presented. 2 Hardy’s Kushwin Firefly. Good coated girl, correctly made all through, looked well on the move, shade close in front. 3 Kemp’s Vossmead Lady In Red.

PGB(8) 1 Price’s Samlane Touch Of Gin. Another well presented good coated one from this kennel, liked her make and shape all through, excellent shoulders and length of neck, coped well with the ground which was very uneven and was the downfall of many otherwise nice animals, perhaps a shade close coming to me. 2 Jones’ Bimini Dizzi Dancer. Shapely girl, not the coat of winner, sound mover. 3 Minshull’s Sidelock Ruby Tuesday.

LB(7) 1 McLeod’s Sidelock Do I Look Bovvered. Looked well today although a little short of coat, but the texture is correct. I think has lost some weight since I saw her last and has benefitted from this, very feminine head, lovely length of neck and layback of shoulders, ribbing and underline correct, too many cut up with short ribbing, moves with style but unfortunately going away her hind movement was affected by the very uneven ground, as were many others, shame as I considered her for the RCC. 2 Black’s Bassodon Dita Von Teese. This young lady has got some very typy animals now. Well done. Typy bitch all through, shoulders and underline are correct, well presented and is a decent mover, the winner just had that little bit more style moving round. 3 Russell’s Rusteck Ophelia.

OB(8) Nice quality class. 1 Fulton’s Bothlyn Black Rose. CC, her second. Not shown so much as her champion sister, which has done her no harm at all, her movement has improved with maturity, stunning shape standing and moving, her gleaming blk/tan coat is really harsh, no skin showing through as with so many blk/tans, beautiful head with correct mouth, well filled front, well angulated shoulders and hindquarters, in the final challenge for BOB they looked lovely going around together. The dog just has that stallion look about him which I couldn’t resist being a sucker for male animals. 2 Wilberg’s Kanix Mary. Lovely size bitch, nice width throughout, correct head and mouth, well angulated front and rear, in the final run off for RCC she lost her topline at times compared with the other two bitches in competition. I believe she has just been made a champion. Will have another day. 3 Hardy’s Kushwin Enigma.
