Longhaired Dachshund  2010

BEST IN SHOW

Three exhibits were presented: Oxley's Ch/Ir Ch Owlery Valentine JW ShCM, Standard Long Haired; Thomas's Shenaligh Sweet Surprise, Miniature Long Haired and the Veteran McFaul's Ch / Ir Ch / Int Ch Darsoms Zwagerson, Standard Long Haired. What a picture they made moving round the large ring –all in excellent condition; presentation could not be faulted. Having acted as referee for both Standards and Miniatures I had examined them prior to BIS. Oxley's Ch/Ir Ch Owlery Valentine JW ShCM, Standard Long – so elegant and presented in superb condition. Well balanced throughout and kept a good profile on the move. Balanced head, correct mouth, long neck and well placed shoulders, strong muscled body. Used his rear to great advantage. Thomas's Shenaligh Sweet Surprise, Miniature Long Haired – such a lovely girl, a Standard in Miniature. Beautiful head and eye, strong neck and good shoulders. Well-muscled body with strong loin and rear. Well-padded feet. McFaul's Ch/Ir Ch/Int Ch Darsoms Zwagerson, Standard Long Haired. Well known veteran who today pulled out all the stops. Correct head into long neck into well placed shoulders. Good ribbing, strong body with short loin. Well-muscled rump, good turn of stifle. Moved out so well. Puppies: Both beautiful babies. Locket-Walters and Walters Ralines Summer Storm: Compact girl –beautiful almond eye, so gentle and dark. Well-placed shoulders, good ribbing, strong loin. Good tail set. Moved out with drive. Judged her Dam at a similar age –so like her. Dare's Darsoms Zorana: very confident young lady with such a mischievous eye. Good shoulders and ribbing, strong muscled body and rear, well let down hock. Moved as one with her handler.
