Champion Bitch NO ENTRIES
Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge mini longs and the great hospitality. It is always a pleasure and privilege to judge Dachshunds. It was a super hound weekend but the heat was tough at times for hounds and humans alike. Sadly the entry was lower on the Sunday, which made some decisions difficult but I was very pleased with my main winners. The future looks bright for the variety with some lovely youngsters presented on the day. I was looking for a functional hound with correct bite, 25% ground clearance and correct movement with drive. Some exhibits were over sized and were weak in head proportions and hind movement, which cost them higher placements naturally. I was impressed with the general condition of exhibits with most in great coat, clean teeth and short nails. A few could do with losing weight and more muscle tone. All exhibits had ample ground clearance which was pleasing to see.
Baby Puppy (4)
A great class of youngsters to start the day and putting on a good performance and all with excellent temperaments enjoying their day out.
1st Kasprowicz’s Kagatomisou Valentine Daniello. Black/cream bitch, 5 months old. Lovely breed type and good head proportions. A little wide in front at present but should tighten up. Good layback of shoulder and length of upper arm. Decent feet. Good length ribbing and bend of stifle. Moved well in side gait and behind especially for such a young age. Best baby puppy.
2nd. Borecka’s Kagatomisou Viva La Vi. 5 month old cream of good size and breed type. Decent front construction but preferred head of 1. Good length of ribbing and held topline well on move. Good bend of stifle to balance with front. Moved well for owner and showed great promise.
Veteran D/B (1)
1st Holtom’s Ralines Cameo at Rivandell. 10.5 year old b/c bitch of good size and breed type. Good coat condition. Great head proportions with enough muzzle but prefer a more almond eye. Good front angulation with good length to upper arm and ideal depth of chest and spring of rib. Ribbing ok and held topline well on move but prefer shorter hocks to complete the outline. Moved soundly and excellent rapport with handler. Best Veteran.
Minor Puppy Dog (2)
1st Gunter’s Welingtonway Muffin Man. 8.5 month old s/r of good size and balance for age. Decent head but prefer slightly more muzzle and under jaw. Good layback of shoulder and length to upper arm. Correct depth of chest for age and ribbing went well back to maintain topline. Good bend of stifle behind to balance with front. Moved soundly but a little proud of his tail at times but understandable due to age.
2nd Brace’s Allforus Vanilla Ice for Xemxija. 8 month old cream with great coat but already on the larger size. Decent head with great muzzle length and good almond eye. Slightly high in shoulder but with good ribbing. A little bum high on the move but should settle but preferred 1 for balance and construction.
Puppy dog (1)
1st Mason’s Crownlake Rolls Royce. 10 month old b/t in super coat and condition for age. Lovely head proportions and scissor bite with correct almond eye and expression. Good front construction with ideal depth of chest and spring of rib. Great feet. Ribbing went well back and supported firm topline. Good rear angulation and ideal balance with front. Carried himself very well on the move with enough drive and very sound coming and going. During the challenge, he was the best moving dog on the day with great breed type and ring presence. DCC and Best of Breed. I was very pleased to see him go Best Puppy In Show later in the day. Congratulations. A bright future I am sure.
Junior Dog (7,3)

2nd Kasprowicz’s Daniello Diamond Dove. 17 month old Choc/tan, different type to 1 and won his place by out moving the rest of the class. Decent head with correct almond eye and lovely expression. Good front construction with enough depth of chest and ample ground clearance. Decent ribbing but longer in loin than 1. Rear angulation in balance with front and showed a pleasing outline on the move.

Good layback of shoulders and ok for upper arm but prefer less flat feet. Ok for ribbing and slightly long in loin. Good bend of stifle and and length to hocks.

Good depth of chest with ideal prosternum. Good ribbing and bend of stifle behind which balanced with front. Moved soundly coming and going but would prefer more drive.
Limit Dog (5,2)
Unfortunately I decided to withhold third place in this class. The exhibit was too large in size and too much bone for a miniature Dachshund in my opinion.

Decent front construction with good length to upper arm and depth of chest. Strong feet. Great topline and good length or ribbing and short in loin.
