Firstly, I would like to thank the Committee of Leeds Championship Show for the invite to judge the mini long dachshunds and for the warm welcome I received.

I was pleased with my winners however; I have to say that standard of males is not what it used to be. Most exhibits were well presented however a few could have benefited from being bathed !! and it does not take much to keep ‘canine teeth’ clean.... please check them before you show them – some missed awards due to lack of presentation and dirty teeth. Weights do need to be watched and even without scales some bitches were exceedingly well covered. It would have been nice to have Minor Puppy classes as there is a big gap between 6–12-month-old pups and some at 11 months are very mature.

PUPPY DOG   2 (0)

1^ST Bronia Wolfgang Puck – Mrs S Broad. Clear red boy – pleasing head and eye, good length of rib and loin. Good coat and moved well.

2^nd Hutaka Hot Shot – Ms A Beckett-Bradshaw. Fabulous dark shaded red boy. Masculine head, nice almond eye and correct ear set. Good size, nice shoulder placement flowing into correct ribbing and loin. Nice rear angulation –moved well. Just lost the class today as he was unsettled.

JUNIOR DOG  2 (0)

1^st Abydach Alpha Centauri – Miss E Geeson.  Super masculine head although kept the soft expression. Nice tight feet, well ribbed with good rear angulation. Kept his topline from start to finish and covered the ground with purpose. Good coat and presented well – others could learn from this kennel.

2^nd Hanishan Neapolitan Urishay – Mrs A Latham-Jackson. Lovely red dog of correct coat and size. Good head and expression. Correct ribbing and loin, nice rear angulation. Movement was a little erratic due to external factors which was a shame. One to watch.

POST GRADUATE DOG  3 (2)

1^ST Hanburydax Lord Oliver – Mrs V Findlay. Cream boy with fabulous pigment and a super almond eye. Good head and neck, good coat, and tight feet, ribbing ok –movement was a little bouncy today – would have liked to see him move on tarmac for a true picture.

LIMIT DOG   5 (1)

1^ST Halunke Dreams of Magic – Mrs D Norton. Clear red boy – Good head and eye with a super length of body – comprised of a good length of rib. Nice rear angulation allowing free movement around the ring.

2^nd Hanishan Firecracker – Miss H Woodvine-Shone. Shaded red boy of a similar type to 1. Lovely head and eye, good shoulder placement, tight feet - nicely put together dog – just not the movement of 1 today...will change places frequently in my opinion.

3^rd Silkdown Samson – Mrs J Breeze.

OPEN DOG   6 (1)

1^st CH Wildstar Wrobinson – Mr R Wood. Clear red dog – Everything where it should be and of the correct size. A pleasure to go over and as he is constructed correctly, he flowed around the ring owning every inch of it. I can understand why he is doing the winning he is – a good example of the breed – many could learn from him. A very worthy DCC winner.

2^nd Cliffmere Woodman – Mr D & Mrs W Hall. Red dog – lovely head and eye, clean neck and shoulders. Correct rib with strong rear angulation – nice tight feet. Moved soundly.

VETERAN DOG 1

1^ST CH Neertanuaf Sea Magic JW Sh.Cm - Mrs S Broad. Superb dog of 12 years – certainly not showing his age. The proper ‘old fashioned’ type. A head that reminded me of the ‘Woodheath’ type. Super conical with lovely almond eye – just the grey eyelashes to age him. Nice coat/feathering presented well. Good shoulder placement, length of rib fine and correct angulation allowing him to move with purpose around the ring. A super example and a pleasure to award him the RCC and BVIB

SPECIAL BEGINNERS DOG OR BITCH  2 (1)

1^ST Dinkidax Auretta – Mrs A Tremble. Shaded red girl – nice length of rib under a good body covering. Slightly rounder eye than I would like – but she moved well and kept her topline.

PUPPY BITCH   10 (1)

1^ST Summerview Daisy May – Mr P & Mrs J Phillips. B/T bitch – pleasing picture. Feminine head and correct eye. Good length of neck and correct shoulders. Nice spring of rib and good rear angulation. Good coat – presented to perfection. True movement both coming and going. BPIB

2^nd Bronia Day Dreamer – Miss E Mitchell. Super young lady. Lovely cream with excellent pigment – (nice to see). Well covered pup with good spring of rib. Lovely expressive head with nice almond dark eye with dark liner. Strong rear quarters giving her super movement – nice clean tight feet. One to watch

3^rd Jadag Razzamataz – Mrs D Graham

JUNIOR BITCH   4 (0)

2^nd Cliffmere Edith – Mr D & Mrs W Hall. Clear red, good head and eye and maintained a good topline from start to finish, with similar comments of 1 just preferred the overall outline of 1.

3^rd Honeysuckle scent to me via Debbiejay – Miss D Carey.

POST GRADUATE BITCH   11 (3)

1^st Wildstar Wrolanda – Mr R Wood. Fabulous old fashioned rich shaded red girl. Super head and eye, lovely neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Good rear angulation with allowed true movement.

2^nd Urishay Pennyroyal – Mrs A Latham-Jackson. Lovely black and cream bitch. Pleasing head and eye. Correct body shape with good ribbing. Strong rear angulation which afforded her good ground coverage keeping her topline. Slightly unsettled on the table to begin with – but settled.

3^rd Halunke Super Magic – Mrs D Norton.

OPEN BITCH   6 (1)

1^st CH Dandydayo Kiss the Girl – Mr A Whitfield-Roberts. A pleasure to go over – super feminine head, with nice length of neck. Good front assembly with nice length of ribbing, good feet and bone.
