Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired)

PD (4) 1 Brooks’ Ralines Romeo at Lyndarlea, cream who is a great ambassador for the breed, strong bone, keel & ribbing to the Standard, head with dark eye, correct pigmentation, good keel & ribbing, good hind angulation which provided drive & purpose on the move, beautifully presented, handled well. A pity he was not entered in the group. BP, BOB; 2 McCarthy’s Nagshall Oklahoma Sunrise, 9 months cream dog, slightly lighter in bone than 1 but had good movement keeping topline at all times. Shorter in ribbing than 1. Good pigmentation for a cream with dark eye & dark nails, well handled & presented. RBD. JD (3) 1 McCarthy’s Walking In The Sun, this kennel produces some quality cream dogs, this being one of them. At 14 months this boy has good pigmentation often lacking in creams, dark almond eye, good reach fo neck leading to solid shoulders & good length of ribbing. Short in keel, but this is the only fault I could find; 2 Burr’s Burrdach Freddie Mi Dreamer, b/t who is very light in bone & lacks substance. Reasonable head, short ribbed. Coat lacked lustre, dull & lifeless. Moved OK. PGD (0). OD (2) 1 N Oklahoma Sunrise, another winner from this kennel of creams. Good pigmentation, strong bone, good shoulders, OK ribbing & keel, loved his hind movement from which he drove with purpose; 2 Cawley & King’s Summerview Make Way for Roo, adequate ribbing & keel, shoulders OK, short in muzzle. No ring presence but moved OK.

PB (4) 1 McCarthy’s Nagshall Love Changes, 9 months shaded/cr with good conical head & almond eye, good pigmentation sadly lacking in most creams but this girl had it all, moved well with drive from excellent hindquarters, well presented; 2 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Pageant, would have been my winner but sadly she lacked in ribbing. Good dark almond eye, moved well keeping her topline at all times. JB (3) 1 Brooks’ Hannishan Eezy Matgic at Lyndarlea, 8 months shaded/r, lovely little girl with good eye & conical head, smashing front & ribbing. Needs a jacket. One to keep an eye on when she matures; 2 Rees’ Yumares Victoria Jane, 15 months b/t who lacked confidence when being handled on the table. Excellent topline on the move, great movement. A pity she didn’t like being on the judging table. Time is on her side, with perseverance she will be OK. PGB (3) 1 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Thumbalina, what a little b/t smasher, sleek neck, good square shoulders, correct length of ribbing, deep eel, kept topline on the move & when stacked. Was a contender for BB, but lost it on the move. RBB; 2 McCarthy’s Nagshall Sweet Caroline, another quality cream from this kennel with good pigmentation & dark eye. Sadly short in ribbing, but otherwise well presented. OB (6) 1 Shutt’s Longort Cassie Royal of Donnadoon, b/t bitch, excellent front, strong sturdy shoulders, ribbing & keel spot on, this bitch could go down any rabbit hole, dark almond eye, good pigmentation, moved OK. Handler needs to relax the lead to get the best movement out of her. BB; 2 Mourton’s Dinkidudlor Isha Aurog at Elmour, lovely shaded/r, hard decision between 1 & 2, just preferred topline of 1. However she moved well & I liked her overall appearance. Well presented.
