Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds It was a pleasure to judge at this well run show. When I last judged I  mentioned round eyes , there were some today. Mouths were stronger but teeth in  some exhibits were not clean and some had nails needing attention. Whilst  conformation is the main consideration these points should not be ignored by  exhibitors. MPD (6,1) A very good class. 1 Steward`s Bassodon Dolce:  smart puppy of correct proportions; strong head into lovely arched neck; front  well placed; kept a good outline when moving. This was his and his owner's  first show so well done with the handling. 2 Whitehouse's Alshtadt Kinder  Surprise: another with a lot to like, beautiful expression and eye, balanced  front, strong movement for a puppy and well boned. 3 Black's Bassodon Westwood.  PD (3) 1 Thorn-Andrews' Drakesleat Rin Tin Tin: BPD: strong head with dark  almond eye; well developed body with strong loin into a good turn of stifle,  feet well arched. Moved out well. 2 Asdown's Standach Play with Madness:  different type to 1, the noise unsettled him I think, he did not move as well  in front. An excellently presented coat, good outline in profile. 3 Phillips  Shine A Light Diervilla of Robinswood. JD (4) 1 Blackburn`s Stargang  Crusoe: close decision between 1 and 2. 1 is well boned with strong forechest,  good length on ribbing and loin, moved well going, coming and in profile.

Balanced head, good shoulder placement,  correct ribbing to loin proportion, good underline. Shown in hard condition on  tight strong feet- flowed round the ring. 2-Neate`s Beaucat Chedda George: very  fidgety, not liking the noise. Head strong, shoulders ok, good ribbing, body a  little loose. Good coat which needs a little attention. LD (3) 1  Corner's Holrik Mister Mischief: good head, strong neck into well placed  shoulders, well bodied with muscled croup. Harsh coat.
