East of England Championship Show 2017

Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired)

MPD (3, 1) 1 Bedford's Dinkidudlor Mandinka Myo. Shaded cream, confident with good style, good firm topline and strong rear. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Dannymac. Red, raw baby, good headpiece, not the firmness of topline of winner, good brisket and keel, shown well.

PD (4) 1 Wood's Wildstar Wrobinson. Red with a good clean cut outline and shape at all times, so confident and free moving, great balance to head and dark eye, good neck to well laid shoulders, just loved this dog, in superb condition and well handled. CC and BOB and Group 3. His future is well ahead and should easily become a well deserved champion. 2 Mourton's Eldmour Cinnamon Spice. 2 Red brindle with good dark eye, good outline but not the flow of neck as above, good feet, moved out well with strong, powerful rear. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Luca Mac.

JD (2) 1 Wood's Wildstar Wrobinson. Previous class winner and eventual overall winner. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Luca Mac. Very raw cream, good balance to head and good pigment, prominent sternum and good keel, needs a lot of maturing, but he is well balanced.

YD (3, 1) 1 Whitnall's Cankasper Flyin Solo. Black and tan who has a most pleasing shape and overall balance with good firm topline, moved out well with strong quarters. 2 Broad's Eldmour Sea Lord Of Dinkidudlor. Red with good head and jaw, excellent pigment, good level topline and keel, at present he has dropped all his coat, this enables you to see his outline easily.

LD (8, 1) 1 Brooks' Lyndarlea Just Andy. This cream has a great head, neck and keeps a firm topline at all times, neat feet, in superb condition, has too much coat which makes his movement in the rear more difficult to assess, would prefer his coat to be flatter and less of it, but he easily won this good class. 2 Bedford's Eldmour Kango Kajali Of Dinkidudlor. Black and tan of good clean shape and outline, level topline, very close up on winner today, being very similar in outline, but not the strength in his movement or attitude of the winner. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Digby Mac JW.

OD (8, 1) 1 Barnsdale & Hayward-Barnsdale's Chriskim's Trail Blazer JW. Red sable mature boy who won this class on his outline and good freedom of movement, good neck and flow into shoulders, moved soundly both ways. 2 Brooks' Obdax Lynn's Badger JW. Eyecatching dapple, slightly bigger with good shape, full of quality, most pleasing head and expression, excellent front, well muscled, in tip top condition and coat, as all the dogs had from this kennel. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Santana JW.

MPB (5, 1) 1 Cohen's Lilac Blossom For Hutzpah. Superb shaped red with good clean outline, was very confident and moved out well, still raw obviously at this stage, but very promising. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Santa Amelia. Red raw baby with a lot of maturity to come as yet not the firm topline of above. 3 Rowell's Emmajesk Masquerade.

PB (12, 2) 1 Wood's Wildstar Wynnona. Red baby with good outline and full of charisma, she stood out the moment she entered the class, good sternum, feet, strong rear. A fantastic future for this baby, see she is sister to my CC winner and later on will challenge him for CCs I am sure. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Be Lucky. This cream of quality has the best of pigment which helped to give her a good expression and darkest of eyes, sound in front, keeps firm topline, moved well and well handled. 3 Brooks' Lyndarlea Speckled Hen.

JB (11, 1) 1 Wood's Wildstar Wynnona. 2 Metcalfe's Metadale Ariadne. Similar in size and overall shape, which is most pleasing, good neck and lay of shoulder, firm topline, moved soundly, just today not quite the reach and drive of above, in great condition. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Be Lucky.

YB (7) 1 Weston & Johnson's Ecotyne Witchcraft. Black and tan who was an easy winner in this class, good firm topline and shapely at all times, a very free mover with good reach and drive from behind. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Portalice. Cream with great pigment, pleasing head shape and ears, good layback to shoulder, firm level topline, not the strength in rear of above, but sound. 3 Murphy's Dinkidudlor Petmar Purfect At Classidax.

GB (2) 1 Murphy's Classidax Liberty Belle. Eyecatching black and tan, good headpiece, nec, and front, well ribbed, strong loin, rump broad and strong to well muscled rear, in superb condition and expertly handled. 2 Mortlock's Metadale Anastasia At Hertsmerry. Red with good headpiece, adequate neck, needs to tighten in elbow, good firm ribbing, shown in good well muscled condition.

PGB (8, 3) 1 Allen's Penparc Creme Caramel. This quality bitch appeals from the minute she enters the ring with her snooty confidence and pure arrogance, great outline at all times, super moulding to headpiece and pigment, arched neck, carrying head proudly, firmness of topline, strong, well muscled quarters, expertly handled to show her many attributes. Thrilled to award her the CC. 2 Hall's Cliffmere Levity. Well it was a real close decision on the placing of this quality cream, well constructed, in full show condition, a slightly longer cast bitch to above, not quite the charisma of winner, but moved very soundly. 3 Halsall's Lyndarlea Dolly For Kiddles.

LB (8, 1) 1 Bell's Tolberg Legally Blonde JW ShCM. Shaded cream, correct in overall balance with good clean outline, pleasing in head and expression, strong, powerful front, good ribbing, rump and strong firm hocks, in great condition. Res CC. 2 Oxley's Dinkidax Cyenna Satin JW. This red bitch deserved her placing here, although she was out of coat, therefore her outline, which is so correct was easy to see. She has style and moved well fore and aft. A quality bitch. 3 Bedford's Eldmour Kiwi Kalilu Of Dinkidudlor.

OB (6) 1 Metcalfe's Metadale Aphrodite. This shaded cream has a very good outline, good balance, best of toplines, feet, great side gait in action, rear a bit difficult to access as she has so much thick coat in her pantaloons, liked her size and body condition, a very close contender, just lacked enthusiasm, well handled. 2 Brown's Ch Mystera Once Upon A Dream At Garbosa. This bitch has the classic outline desired, superb head and underjaw, good lay of shoulders, good rear stood but lacking drive on the move today, in great show condition and well handled. 3 Weston & Johnson's Ecotyne Firewitch.

VB (2) 1 Kerslake's Devonwood Lady Alexandra. Black and tan who was full of charisma and style, in good correct textured coat, good firm body condition, best of feet, well handled. 2 Green's Eldmour Electra. 10 year old girl, still in great form, good expression, neck and forehand, good ribbing, neat elbows, firm quarters but not putting much into her movement, had the 'been there, done it' attitude, well handled.
