My first-time awarding CCs in this variety and my thanks to Lancashire and Cheshire Dachshund Association for their kind invitation. Many of the males could have been much more solid in temperament, quite a few backed off on the table, appeared hunched & had a real look of fear in their eyes. The bitches were stronger than the males & I had at least 4 who I would have been happy to have signed a CC for on the day. PD (1) 1 Hanishan Firery Fox (May), red dog who has a good head and reasonably correctly shaped eye. Quite a good front, but his forelegs could be a touch neater. Well ribbed back and short in loin, but his topline was roached both on the table and moving and he does need more confidence. Could firm up behind as yet, but put down in a beautifully presented jacket which gleamed in the sun. JD (3) 1 Minard Darque Red for Devondax (Small), red dog and who I thought might be the winner on first glance. Lots to like about him and I see he is a double Wrobinson grandson, typical head and eye, excellent proportions, good shoulders & long upperarm, one of the best on the day; enough ground clearance and he does use himself very well on the move. Needs to firm up in topline but most promising. 2 Dolyharp Amadeus at Sidburyhill (Stevens), B/T male, good in head and eye and close up to the winner. Different in many respects & probably a touch more angular through the front. Well ribbed back & short in loin, cuts off quite sharply over the croup, but is very sound and accurate on the move and was put down in first class order. 3 Allerbach’s Tiger Moth (Gordon). YD (4) 1 Code Red Again at Arlatdax (Morrin & Barbi), red dog handled well by his young handler to win this mixed class. Good head and eye, but could perhaps have a little more refinement as he is a touch broad in skull; fairly good forequarters & firm in topline, with a neat underline. Enough hind angulation and went very well in side profile. Could have a little more jacket but what he had was beautifully presented. Well handled by his exceptionally polite young handler. 2 Pettigans Bring Me Sunshine TAF (Phillips), I liked this young red dog & I thought he might well be in the running. Lots to like in general and he is very typical. Correct head and eye, well ribbed and in good muscular condition. I put him in front & just thought on the final go around he really wasn’t as settled as he could have been and so he paid the price, but he is a young yet and is a very good type. 3 Allerbach’s Tiger Moth (Gordon). PGD (1) 1 Daniello Tiny Troublemaker (Kasprowicz), cream dog, decent head and shapely eye, but could have more strength to his head in general. A touch upright in shoulder but forelegs were reasonable, and he stands on good legs and feet. A little short in body and carries his tail rather proudly; very well presented and in good nick. LD (8,2) 1 Summerview Hello Hugo JW (Phillips), B/T dog and the one I had been waiting for; stood away here and in the challenge. Has a lot to like & he is confident and self-assured, a feature lacking here today; masculine head and eye, decent forehand and he is well ribbed back. Excellent topline and underline, in beautiful muscular condition and skeletally so correct. His outline is classic, and he retains it both standing naturally and on the move. In the peak of condition and in A1 coat; DCC & BOS. 2 Findowrie The Fusileer (Poole), very typical B/T and quite a different type to the winner but with a lot to like. Full of character, and a temperament which was a pleasure to see, it was the exception amongst the males rather than the rule. Correct head and expression, perhaps could have a mite more breadth to his ribs and I would not want him any longer in loin. In the most super coat and condition, felt the heat a touch I think but he is sound; considered him for the RCC but the Open Dog winner just out moved him at the final hurdle. A very nice dog. 3 Barlaine Midnight Charmer (Mcsorley). OD (4,1) 1 Garbosa I’m A Dandy JW (Brown), C/T dog and the easy winner of this class for his elegance and beauty when moving; rock solid temperament, very good in head and eye, well made in front & behind, firm topline, beautifully conditioned and presented, close decision between him and the DCC winner & I thought him very worthy of the RDCC. 2 Findowrie Mister Mckye (Poole) red dog and a couple of years older than the winner, masculine head and eye, enough neck & decent front, firm enough in topline; could perhaps have slightly better ribbing, but he is in super muscular condition. Lots to like about him too, not quite so free and easy as the winner on the day when moving, but very admirable. 3 Daniello Tiny Troublemaker (Kasprowicz). VD (1) 1 Bronia The Dutchman (Irvine), just 7 years & only into veteran; beautifully bred & lots to like, good head and eye, correct front, firm topline if a shade long in back for perfect balance; in excellent coat and condition and a really super mover. BVIB. SB (5) 1 Daring Dancer of Dwtidachs (Richards), shaded cream, good head and eye, decent front & firm enough in topline; used herself well on the move even if she could be a touch more accurate coming and going. 2 Allerbach’s Tiger Moth (Gordon), shaded cream, younger than the winner, good head and eye, shoulders could be better & he is a touch wide at the blades, firm enough on the move and presents a good picture in profile. 3 Darwindax Bobby Jean at Welingtonway (Gunter). MPB (3) 1 Findowries Finesse (Poole), red & easily the best puppy here today; very good head and eye, super expression, very good in front, well laid shoulder & upperarm; firm in topline, neat underline and has good ground clearance. Very good on the move even for her tender age, firm and accurate from all directions. Shows a lot of promise. BPB & BPIB. 2 Dwtidachs All Toasty Inside (Richards), great name & a Christmas baby! Still a way to go in terms of maturity, head has enough strength & eyes are a reasonable shape; good forequarters and neat elbows, a touch soft in topline as yet but she is young; enough ground clearance and move with a decent action away and back and quite attractive in profile. Shows promise. 3 Infraganti Leading Layla at Welingtonway (Gunter). PB (7,5) 1 Daniello Jalka Jollynda (Kasprowicz), red with a lot to like. Young yet and a way to go in terms of advancement; good head and eye, well filled in front. Enough ribbing, she could be a shade shorter in loin but uses herself well on the move. Well presented and handled. 2 Dwtidachs All Toasty Inside (Richards), see 2nd MPB. JB (3) 1 Sunkissed Candy from Garbosa (Brown), shaded cream and most attractive. Good head and eye, just enough shoulder angulation and neat forelegs. Could have a touch more neck. Good topline and underline and presented a balanced picture; free and easy on the move. 2 Daniello A Perla Di Luna (Kasprowicz), admirable sort of cream, not quite the head of eye of the winner; enough shoulder angulation but could have a touch more length to upperarm, firm topline and enough rear angulation; used himself well on the move but not quite so clean was the winner when returning. 3 Darwindax Bobby Jean at Welingtonway (Gunter). YB (2) 1 Fallingwater Faberge (Phillips), red, lots to like here. Decent head properties, good skull and proportions; firm enough in topline, enough ground clearance and fairly free and sound on the move. Presented in beautiful condition and liked her a lot. 2 Daniello A Perla Di Luna (Kasprowicz), see 2nd Junior. PGB (3) 1 Kenzduo Monday Mojito at Devondax JW (Small), I liked this bitch & she was beautifully presented and conditioned, positively gleaming. Very much to admire, good head and eye; houndy and expressive but retaining femininity; in excellent body condition and very free and accurate on the move. Much to admire and I considered her further. Very well handled and presented. 2 Fallingwater Farouche (Phillips), very smart shaded red; good head and eye, enough neck, firm topline and neat underline, not the elegance of the winner on the move today but it was rather hot. I liked her a lot and she will have better days. Beautifully presented. 3 Custard and Jelly (May). LB (6,2) 1 Abydachs About Time (Thomas), liked this bitch on first glance and she presents a good picture standing and moving. Her head and eye are excellent, not overdone but houndy and feminine. Well made in body & well ribbed back; firm topline and she uses herself to great advantage on the move. Close up to Chaka Khan and ultimately ended up with the ResCC. 2 Zilcan Crème Caramel at Llansansior JW (Dalton), cream bitch and another here today in first rate condition. She gave the winner a run for her money, and I liked her a lot. Good head and eye, enough neck, firm topline and neat underline. Used herself very well on the move and is most admirable for her type and quality. Close call. 3 Findowrie Jessica Rose (Poole). OB (6,2) 1 Bronia Chaka Khan (Mitchell), excellent quality shaded cream and quite outstanding today. Beautiful head and eye, very feminine; but houndy in expression. Lots to like about her & she is well made in front. Keeps her topline standing and moving & is just right for size. She is young yet. but all of a piece and when she steps it up a gear on the move, she is very difficult to overlook. A really lovely bitch. BCC and BOB. 2 Darsoms Zparkle (Larkin), B/T with lots to like & rather a different type to the winner being more a touch larger and a shade taller. Well headed, perhaps a mite broader in back skull than the winner, but her expression was good and houndy. Well made and good to go over, well ribbed, firm topline and neat underline. Beautifully conditioned and presented and one who I imagine will carry a title. 3 Daring Dancer of Dwtidachs (Richards). Champion Bitch (2) 1 Ch Tolberg Beez Kneez at Teckeltown (Mason), really beautiful red bitch who belies her years & subsequently appeared in veteran. Much to admire in terms of head and eye, super expression & really in great body condition all through. It is on the move where she comes into her own; really free and easy with a super side stride. I would have been happy to have signed a CC for her & she was just edged out by the youthfulness and zest of the CC and RCC, but a real classy one. BVIB. 2 Ch Dandydayo Kiss The Girl (Whitfield-Roberts), one I have often admired and like & when she first came in I wondered if she might end up the end winner. She is a beautiful bitch with all the essentials and has it all going for her. However, on the day I felt against the winner she looked a touch heavy and bordering on matronly; and so had to pay the price. A most worthy Ch. VB (4,3) 1 Tolberg Beez Kneez at Teckeltown (Mason), see 1st Champion.
