DACHSHUND - MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED

JD (4) 1 & BP Lewis's Trixhund Beluga. Well constructed red, a  little wild in coat at this stage. Good head with dark pigment and eye colour.  Enough reach of neck into well placed shoulder. Enough prosternum at present  good upper arm length allowing free movement, Well sprung ribbing with strong  loin to strong correctly angulated rear. Good bend of stifle with strong hocks.  Moves well; a sound prospect for the future. 2 Punter's Khalik Eberhard. Good  overall shape and outline. Correct head with good furnishings, dark eye,  correct ear shape and set. Nicely sloped neck leading into well placed  shoulders. Good ground clearance with well-made rear a little unsettled in  stride and topline. 3 Billinghurst's Jiljac Tsar Very Much. Res: Hayward's  Taree Scoville.

PGD (4,1) 1 BD & BOB Presnail's Taree Selwyn. B/T  brindle. Lovely outline with super coat. Good strong head with almond shaped  dark eye, clean neck into prominent prosternum with good ground clearance. Well  constructed front assembly with good upper arm allowing free forward movement.  2 Jones' Shantallah Black Diamond Among Carlita. Could lose some weight in  order to better see how it is constructed. A little overloaded in shoulder nice  enough reach of neck. Good topline and moves with drive. But does needs to  carry less weight. 3 Stephenson's Molloney Oh Oh Seven Von Wistex.

LD (3,1) 1 Withheld. 2 McDowell's Waldmeister Charlie Brown At Aristodax. This  little dog has good conformation, good coat and would move out better if it did  not carry so much weight. A few ounces over is acceptable but sadly l.5 lbs is  not. Therefore I could not award a lst place. OD (2,1) 1 & Res BD  Punter's Ch Welcumen Jeremy. Good coat and furnishings. Correct head and eye  shape, enough reach of neck. Would prefer a little more front, good ribbing,  top and underline. Good bend of stifle and length of hock. Moves with drive.

JB (4,2) 1 & BB Shone's Bratenklein I Love The Little Thing. Beautifully  presented Brindle bitch with excellent coat, good head and reach of neck into  correctly placed shoulders. Nice tight elbows. Would prefer a little more  prosternum. Well sprung ribs leading into nice strong loin with good driving  well muscled rear. Enough ground clearance with good padded feet. Very worthy  exhibit. 2 Fry's Trixhund Xhibitionist Of Bedeslea. Good strong head. More  compact type to No 1. Correct outline with enough reach of neck. A little loose  in elbow at the moment and would prefer a more pronounced prosternum. Good  ribbing, keeps a nice topline and has enough bend of stifle.

PGB (3,2) 1  Jones' Carlita Bewitched. A little unsettled on the table today. Good coat but  needs a bit of tidying Good pigment, eye shape and ear set. Would prefer a  little more neck. A little loose in front movement. Good enough ribbing and  length of loin with a little longer in hock than I would like. She settled on  the move and was less anxious. Her anxiety restricted her movement appearing to  be close behind today.

LB (4) 1 & Res BB Shone's Hanishan Eau  Classique. Beautiful pinwire in excellent condition. Correct front assembly  with good layback of shoulder leading to well sprung ribbing. Correctly  angulated rear which enables good parallel forward movement. 2 Betteridge's  Brindeckel I Luv Lucy At Sylvax. Compact bitch different type to No 1.  Reasonable coat. Front assembly a little lacking in prosternum and would prefer  more reach of neck. Good well sprung ribbing with well muscled rear end. A  little lower to the ground than No. 1 but moved out very well. 3 Miller's  Angelholm Astadina At Palsuz.

OB (3,2) 1 Boyns' Brindeckel  Ballykissangel. Good coat and ground clearance. Correct head with enough reach  of neck. Good ribbing. Good length of loin but would prefer a little more bend  of stifle. Only recently had a litter but in good shape. Moves out well,  keeping a nice shape and topline.
