Border Union Championship Show 2013

Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired)

Thank you to the exhibits for their entries, the atmosphere at the show was very pleasant; the weather could have held for us to be outside and it was a pleasure to have had some lovely quality dogs to go over.
Presentation on some could have been better, dirty teeth, long nails, some had flat feet that roadwork could have helped. There is always room for improvements on bite, Pigments, shoulders and hind quarters, some of the dogs were deceiving until hands on, and I found that some were longer in the loin and the conical head was few and far between, but the majority today were of good quality. I found that bitches were far better than the dogs, and there’s some lovely promising youngsters coming through, on the whole it was very nice to have hands on some good quality, no problems with temperaments and I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment.

MINI LONGS
PD (1)
1st Mrs Bell – Tolberg Super Ted, 8months old and has a lot of time on his side, he still needs to tighten in and mature, lovely head with good depth of muzzle & correct scissor bite, correct ear set, enough reach of neck into his front construction, good depth of keel and well sprung ribbing carried back, I’d like more to his rear, just enough turn of stifle, lost topline on the move slightly but he showed well. BPD
JD (3)
1st Ms Brooks – Ralines Romeo at Lyndarlea, nicely balanced still very immature, masculine head with enough depth of muzzle, correct scissor bite, ears set correctly, I’d like a little more neck length, his shoulders still need to tighten and his front to develop and drop through, flat feet which roadwork could help. Had enough body with well sprung ribbing carried back, sound hammy rear, kept topline on the move.
2nd Mrs M Shutt – Donnadoon Boo Gee Woogy, not as good in front than winner but similar remarks apply, had better feet, he needs to settle on the move and mature.
3rd Miss Li Al-Bazi – Phylcher’s Secret Formular. Another nice boy, preferred the front and rear on winner to this boy, but he enjoyed his day out, moved and showed well.

This was a super class of quality, some lovely youngsters which will have a bright future.
1st Lockett-Walters & Walters – Ralines Popping Kandi, a little star, everything I was looking for, still a baby with lots of time on her side, today was more together than other classmates and moved effortlessly round the ring. Easy champion in the making. Lovely feminine head, correct scissor bite, correct front, still needs to tighten in and drop through but its all there, lovely reach of neck, very elegant, well sprung ribbing carried back, sound loin and lovely angulated rear used with drive for her age.

Another nice class
1st Mr Wood – Jumanda’s Replica of Wildstar, won this class on maturity as the other two were still very raw, again lovely head with strong jaw & correct scissor bite, ears set obliquely, nice reach of neck, good front and depth to keel, tight feet, her ribbing was carried right back into strong loin, sound hind quarters which she used well, being critical would like a little more turn of stifle.
2nd Ms Brooks – Hanishan Eezzy Magic at Lyndarlea, very nice but very raw has time on her side, should be very late junior age before coming together, both her and her sister placed 3rd will be either way in their classes as they are both very nice to go over.
3rd Miss Woodvine-Shone – Hanishan Little Red Madam, as I said for her sister, but once matured will probably be beating her sister as has better front. Very nice to go over.
