I was very honoured to be invited to judge this variety at this prestigeous show. The highlight of the day must surely have been the visit from HRH Prince Michael of Kent who told us his first ever dog, as a small boy, was a Dachshund! On today's showing I'm afraid I found the breed to be full of mediocrity, the good ones really stand out. Thick skulls, popped eyes, lack of neck, poor shoulders, poor fronts, flat feet, lack of ribbing both in spring and particularly in length, poor pigmentation, particularly in nails, these things were the order of the day. Sorry  to be so negative but this is what I found. On the plus side, the majority of exhibits had good temperaments and were well presented. My stewards, Paul Hayes and Jennifer Hiscox were exemplary. Many thanks to them. 

VD (5, 1) 1 Broad's Neertanauf Sea Magic JW ShCM. Quality sh/red with a lovely head and super pigment, good neck and topline and a sound mover, beautiful coat and condition. BV. 2 Brearley's Lyndarlea Silver Wave At Xanadax. Pretty coloured silver dapple, lost a few teeth now, good type with a pleasing head, decent neck and topline. 3 Young's Ch Willowheath Hendrix. B/t, lacks a little in neck, good bone and feet, beautiful coat. 

MPD (2) 1 Drady's Indiko I Am The Music Man. Pleasing headed b/t with a decent front and a lovely coat, needs a better temperament. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Double Dig. Lovely light red, thought he would be my winner, not decided yet whether to be Arthur or Martha! 

PD (7) 1 Phillips' Summerview Yogi Bear. Classy choc/tan, stood away in this class, lovely head on good neck, good front and topline, well made and a good mover, lovely coat and condition, can be naughty with his tail at times. Best PD. 2 Poole's Findowrie Mr Bumble. Very pleasing headed red, lovely bone and feet, sound on the move but not the topline of winner. 3 Metcalfe's Metadale Ramesses. Shaded cream with a super well ribbed body, good outline and strong quarters, just needs to settle. 

JD (5) 1 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Lucamac JW. Light red of some quality, lovely head and eye, super pigment, very pleasing to go over, shown in lovely coat and condition, very sound and holding his topline. 2 Wallace's Willowheath Rebel Rock. Pleasing head and super neck on this b/t, lovely coat and good topline, just that bit narrow in front. 3 Halsall's Kiddles Jolyon. Very dark coloured silver dapple, holds a good topline but lacks neck and enthusiasm. 

YD (6) 1 Paskin's Dinkidax Sandrayana At Kindeace. Quality red with a lovely head and super pigment, even in his nails, so pleasing to go over and holds himself together so well on the move, shown in lovely coat and condition. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Lucamac JW. 3 Wood's Wildstar Wreward. Lovely head and gorgeous eyes on this b/t, super coat and presentation, sound and with a good topline, just that little upright in front.

  PGD (8) 1 Woodall's Rarewood Silver Commander. Very well constructed silver dapple, liked his head very much, lovely neck and topline, lovely front and feet, sound and holds himself together going round. 2 Higgins' Ralines Just Jewels. Found this b/t. Just a touch skully and a little short of neck, good body and lovely condition, good going round. 3 Broad's Eldmour Sea Lord Of Dinkidudlor. Thought this dark red could be my winner, he has such a pleasing head and a lovely outline and coat, front lets him down. 

LD (10, 1) 1 Norton's Halunke Pure Magic. Very smart and very active red, full of attitude, so good for size and has a good front and feet, liked his head very much, super outline and strong quarters, very sound and eyecatching going round. 2 Pitfield's Follyfield Farley's Fella. Very typy b/t, pleasing head with lovely eye, so well ribbed up, moves very well, could use a little more neck. 3 Mortlock's Metadale Leandros At Hertsmerry. This dark red looked most unhappy, he is a nice dog, could just be a little better let down behind. 

OD (12, 1) 1 Wood's Ch Wildstar Wrobimnson JW. Outstanding, beautifully presented red, ideal size, super construction and in full coat, so sound and just floats round, very exciting young dog. CC winner. 2 Roberts' Ch Ralines Rob Roy To Denvery. This is another beautifully constructed dog. This time a cream, lovely head and pigment, so good to go over and again in gleaming condition, excels on the move, little to separate, just a size bigger. Res CC. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Santana JW. Lovely outline on this very typy light red, liked his head too, very sound, would just like longer ribbing. 

GCD (3) 1 Halsall's Kiddles Jolyon. 2 Broad's Eldmour Sea Lord Of Dinkidudlor. 3 Green's Neertanauf Jack Jones. Shaded red with a lovely coat, too narrow through and topline is poor. 

VB (12) 1 Halsall's Lyndarlea Dolly For Kiddles. Lovely choc/dapple, full of style and arrogance, very pretty head, so pleasing to go over and still very sound, shown in lovely condition. 2 Johnson's Ch Charpurdy Just Iss. Quality b/t, another sound and very arrogant girl, super coat and still has all her teeth, pleasing to go over and lovely going round. 3 Stephani & Fletcher's Torwood Guns N'Roses At Walnutfarm. Very pretty headed red, super body and ribbing, would persist in poking going round. 

MPB (1) 1 Drady's Indiko Destined To Be Cream. Very pretty well constructed sh/cream, lovely baby showing much promise, good front, lovely neck and topline, very strong rear, just a little wide in front. 

PB (7) Bell's Tolberg Cream Treat. Very pretty girl who really uses herself on the move, very pleasing in head and so well put together, so well bodied up and so very sound. It was this movement that won her BP. 2 Mitchell's Bronia Rogue One. Gorgeous cream, such a lovely head, eye and neck on this girl, lovely front and so lovely to go over, fabulous outline stacked, she too is beautifully sound, just needs to use her quarters going round. 3 Metcalfe's Metadale Brunnhilde. Lovely head and eye on this red, very well put together, just needs to learn to be a showgirl. 

  JB (11, 3) 1 Geeson's Abydachs Alohomora. Beautifully presented b/t, would like her a little more "houndy" in head, after that she is immaculate, so very sound too. 2 Cohen's Lilac Blossom For Hutzpah. Quality red who was so good to go over on the table, very pretty head and good construction, handler must learn to show this good bitch better. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Santa Amelia. This light red has a lovely body and ribbing, really comes into her own on the move, so sound. 

YB (13) 1 Metcalfe's Metadale Ariadne. Super little red with a lovely head and eye, lovely to go over, lovely front, feet and coat, very sound and very showy. 2 Geeson's Abydachs Avada Kedavra. Choc/tan in immaculate condition, super showgirl too, lovely head, eyes could be a touch better, so good on the stack and holds this outline on the move, ribs could be that bit longer. 3 McCarthy's Nagshall Santa Amelia. PGB (10) 1 Bell's Tolberg Tilly's Just The One. Very smart little red with a lovely head and good neck, well pigmented too, lovely body and ribbing and so well put together, very sound and won the class going round. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Cristobel. This is another who comes into her own on the move, very pleasing head and good pigment, well constructed and flows round. 3 Roylance's Abbilis Immortality. Very dark red of pleasing type, lovely shape to her, must learn to show better. 

LB (11, 4) 1 Woodvine-Shone's Hanishan Little Red Madam. Quality dark red with a super head, eye and super leathers, liked her a lot, good front with tight elbows, super topline and rib, strong rear, so well presented, lovely mover and excels going round. 2 McCarthy's Nagshall Just Be Lucky JW. Liked this red a lot too, so good on the move, she too is lovely going round, very pleasing to go over, must learn to show better on the stack. 3 Allen's Penparc Creme Caramel. Like a little more length to this nice little red, typy head but eyes a bit full, pleasing to go over, sound. 

OB (14, 2) Best class of the day. 1 Wood's Ch Wildstar Wynnona JW. Immaculate rich red. I found her outstanding in every way, super head, eye and pigmentation, ideal for size and type, faultless construction, so sound, so showy and perfect coat and presentation. CC and BOB. 2 Mitchell's Ch Bronia Peach Fuzz. Gorgeous cream, full of quality, super head and eye, lovely neck, lovely outline, super to go over, immaculate presentation, loved all about her too. Res CC. 3 Walters' Ch Ralines Flirtini. Beautiful cream, loved her too, didn't want to show today. 

GCB (5) 1 Mason's Tolberg Beezs Kneez At Teckeltown. Very assertive red, good body and coat, good topline, little more neck would enhance her outline. 2 Green's Eldmour Electra. Very dark red veteran girl, lovely body and topline, good rear, again more neck would enhance. 3 Drady's Jumanda's Silver Sparkle At Indiko. Pretty silver dapple, very good head on her lovely body and rib, movement disappointing.
