Great Joint Dachshund Ass 2009

BEST IN SHOW

It was a great honour to be invited to judge BIS at this prestigious event. My BIS line-up was extremely impressive with top quality exhibits for me to judge. I awarded BIS to the Smooth-haired Dachshund, Roleta Keeping Up Appirances. Looked an absolute picture on the table, lovely head and eye, reachy neck running into well laid shoulders, good pro-sternum, excellent ribbing, well angulated quarters, moved soundly. Res BIS, Drakesleat Winalot. Beautifully constructed Min Wire with long houndy head, good neck and shoulders, ribbing carried well back, balanced rear which he really used on the move. BPIS, I awarded to the very glamorous Min Longhaired, Zarcrest Ice Conqueror. Beautiful head with the darkest of eyes, good neck and shoulders, excellent bone, excellent quarters, moved with correct extension in profile. BVIS, my old favourite, Ch Silvae Pickwick. I have given him a ticket in the past and he still looks good. Beautiful head and eye, good shoulders, super ribbing, well angulated quarters which he uses to good effect, correct extension fore and aft on the move.
