Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds

DACHSHUND - MINIATURE SMOOTH HAIRED

PD (6, 1) 1 Smith's Bronia Gregorio. Lovely balanced outline, good head and  expression, good front, excellent topline and rear with short, strong hocks,  lovely feet, well ribbed, very good on the move. A star for the future. 2  Coxon's D'Arisca Full On. Clean outline, just stands over a fraction more  ground than first, good head, forechest, topline and underline, sound,  purposeful mover. 3 Hunt's Carpaccio Red Adair.

JD (3, 1) 1 Ergis' Ch  Siouxline Levi JW. Red dog, lovely head, eye and topline, good forechest and  leg length, could be tidier in front movement. 2 Melbourne's Bronia Machiavelli  Of Melriding. Nice overall balance and proportions, good head, lovely underline  but was hunching up on the move and not relaxed.

PGD(2) 1 Melbourne's  Bronia Machiavelli Of Melriding. 2 Gorman's Gordax Chocolate Royale. Choc/bn  dog, beautiful head and eye, nice overall outline, feet a little flat and could  be in firmer condition, moves ok but could be more positive.

LD(1) 1  Blackburn-Bennett's Stargang Avenger. Brindle, good head and eye, excellent  neck and topline, good feet, moves well in profile keeping good outline but  could be a little more positive behind, good forechest.

OD(4) 1 Coxon's  Ch D'Arisca I Do Declare. Overall good proportions, if a shade larger than I  would like, good head, shoulder could be better, good topline, moves ok. 2  Melbourne's Metadale Nikolai Of Melriding. Nice balance and proportions, good  head, topline and underline, hocks a shade high, moves ok. 3 Andison  &Peel's Clentry Black Pudding.

PB(4) 1 Blackburn's Stargang Morning  Glow. Clean outline and ground clearance, ok head and eye, good neck and  topline, gleaming coat, moved well for her age. 2 Andison &Peel's Clentry  Golddigga. Similar proportions but a shade lower to ground, good head and  topline, moves well but a little narrow in front. 3 Coxon's D'Arisca Fully  Fashioned.

JB(3, 1) 1 Blackburn-Bennett's Stargang Evora. Brindle bitch,  clean outline, a shade longer than I would like, good topline, a little  overdone behind and could be tidier on the move, dark eye, good ears. 2 Kent's  Lokmadi On Silent Wings. Pretty head and expression, nice size and substance,  could be truer moving away.

PGB(3, 1) 1 Kent's Lokmadi Paper Tiger.  Lovely head, good front, moved soundly with reach and drive, good clean  balanced outline. 2 Fieke's Lustrum April Love. Head good, eyes a little round,  too deep in chest and underline cuts up, reasonably sound moving.

LB (4)  1 Melbourne's Golden Al Gonquinette Of Melriding. Lovely outline and  proportions, good head and eye, topline and front, a shade low and back end  could be stronger but moves well in profile. 2 Coxon's D'Arisca Be Dazzled.  Moves well in profile, but could be tidier coming and going, good head, topline  needs to settle and ribbing not great. 3 Gaskin's Abbeydac Shannon.

OB(7)  1 Ergis, Melbourne &Holdsworth's Ch Sioux Alliance With Melriding JW. A  shade low for me but she moved soundly both ways, unlike most in the class,  even though a bit wide, good head, too much forechest for my liking, excellent  topline and underline and balanced movement in profile. 2 Coxon's D'Arisca  Damsel In A Dress. Again she moved soundly coming and going. A bit too toy in  head for me but keeps her outline, which is well proportioned. 3 Blackburn's Ch  Sonderbar Billie Jean At Stargang (Imp).
