MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED
I am glad to say mouths have improved & found only a few with crowded lower jaws. My main worry was the lack of ribbing on many exhibits the standard says well ribbed up. I also found a lot of d’s had v strange hind movement, which made the gait of these d’s v ugly. There were a few exhibits lacking muscle tone, coats on the whole were gd as were temperaments.
MPD (4). 1 Thorn-Andrew’s Drakesleat Toulouse Le Trek. V mature for age, super head, front well put together, gd angulation moved out well, BPD; 2 Walker’s Roselle Lord Of The Dance. Not the head & front of 1 but had level topline & went well; 3 Preece’s Charnealis Mr Right At Llewsad.
PD (5). 1 Wilburg’s Kanix Keith. Gd head, front a little narrow, gd coat, moved ok; 2 Kugow & Holt’s Waldmeister Jackson. Brindle, firm top line, gd ribbing, tight feet, moved true; 3 Howell’s Fallowmill Nutz About Toffee.
JD (3). 1 Smith’s Dunns Pitts Zakajak. Red brindle, lovely head, full front, kept topline on the move, plenty of angulation & well muscled; 2 Hayward’s Foxearth Fine Fettle. Well put together would just prefer him to carry a little more weight.

LD (7). 1 Thorn-Andrew’s Drakesleat Sat Sumo. Blk/tan, excelled in head, correct shoulders & front had gd length of body, true mover, RCC; 2 Dunstall’s Metcroft Dressed To Thrill. All in proportion, nothing over done, v true mover; 3 Poxon’s Kapadach Acer Trier.
OD (5). 1 Barneys’ Verrami Brown Doffi. I have admired him for some time & going over him I was not disappointed, classic head, prominent forechest, gd shoulder placement, level topline & moved true DCC; 2 Wilberg’s Ch Kanix Duncan. Worthy Ch felt that he is a little wide in front, gd length, harsh coat & fair mover; 3 Billhurst’s Nordach Mr Show Off At Jiljac.
