Dachshund ( Miniature Smooth Haired)

Judge : Claire Bethel

P (6) 1 Metcalfe’s Bronia Saucy Sara at Metadale. Shaded red bitch, very promising future. Still needs to develop and tighten. Lovely puppy to go over. Nice head and eyes. I’d like a little more reach of neck, good shoulders and front still to develop. Good ribbing. Keeping topline on the move. Good hind action. Best Puppy. 2 Luke’s Corrieknowe Christopher. Black and tan dog, strong head and correct eyes. Good reach of neck, full front and correct shoulders. I’d like more ribbing and muscled hindquarters, preferred movement on winner. Showed well. 3 Forrest’s Bute’s Red Chakra.

J (1) 1 Gorman’s Shelsall Berry Wine. Black and tan bitch, reserve in previous class. Still needs to develop and settle. Moved and showed well.

G (2) 1 Luke’s Corrieknowe Circassian. Black and tan dog. Good head and correct eyes, lovely reach of neck. I’d like a more prominent front, shoulders still to tighten. Good neck, ribbing a little shorter than I’d like. Kept topline, showed well. Res Best Dog.

L (3) 1 Forrest’s Bute’s Knight in Black Satin JW. Black and tan dog. Good strong head, correct almond shaped eyes. Lovely reach of neck, full oval front and good shoulders. I’d like more ribbing and turn of stifle, he kept his topline, but lack of hindquarters restricted him slightly to extend behind. 2 Bourhill’s Drydenlaw D’Alletta. Red bitch, smaller frame to winner. Was a little high at rear. Nice head and eyes, good oval front. Slighly short in upperarm, lost topline on the move. Showed well. 3 Luke’s Lyrosh Contessa Lucia.

OD (1) 1 Coxon’s Ch D’Arisca in Confidence. Good quality type from this kennel. Lovely head and correct shaped eyes. Lovely reach of neck, well filled oval front, good keel and well sprung ribbing. Level topline and good hind action.

OB (3) 1 Coxon’s D’Arisca Germandachs Sweet and Low (Imp). Not many Mini Smooths with hind drive as positive as this one! Black and tan bitch to go over, head and eyes go od. Lovely reach of neck, full prominent front, well laid shoulders. Good keel with length of ribbing. Kept a level topline and moved with drive. Best Bitch and Best of Breed. 2 Bourhill’s Drydenlaw Dahlriadah. Black and tan starting to show her age. Nice head. I’d like more reach of neck. Full front and good shoulders. I would have liked more ribbing. Lost topline on the move, but showed well. 3 McAlister’s Lochfyne Glamour Girl.
