Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund: MPD (3,1) 1 Miles’s Jaybiem Purple Ronnie, nice type, preferred his front & rear construction, just looked pinched through his loin. BPD. 2 Russell’s Boogie Knight at Russteck, lovely head & eye, well up to size, just lacked the free flowing movement of 1. PD (3,2) 1 Gosney’s Stargang Hugo’s Quest, pleasing head, good length of neck, a touch narrow all through, needs to tighten at the rear on the move, & tended to lose his topline. JD (4,1) 1 Billinghurst’s Jiljac Tsar Very Much, lovely type, super head, strong jaw with large teeth, well made & moved soundly. RCC. 2 Hunt’s Earthsea Pocket Rocket, good head & neck, not the construction of 1, moved ok. 3 Morrison & Peel’s Benxden Izzy Myake. YD (2,1) 1 Morrison & Peel’s Benxden Izzy Myake, 3rd in previous class, moved better in this class & held his outline, his coat does need some attention though. PGD (3,1) 1 Presnail’s Taree Selwyn, neither dog looked great stacked, but 1’s outline was better on the move. Good head & eye, front & rear ok, super coat. 2 Hill & Niall’s Drakesleat Brass Doff, good head, but not a happy boy today, & not enjoying himself at all. LD (2,1) 1 Kugow & Holt’s Waldmeister Samuel, pleasing head with strong underjaw, super coat & kept his outline at all times. OD (5,1) 1 Horswell’s Drakesleat Noddy Doff, super type & shown in great condition, but a swine to handle today! However when he did relax & pull himself together, he looked the part & moved out so well. CC. 2 Dance’s Deepdax Overdraft Too Far Emem, different type, not the front construction of 1, but overall a neat dog & moved well. 3 Hassall & Mcleod’s Ch Sidelock Formular One. MPB (13,5) 1 Hudson’s Palsuz Moon Child, nice pup, head & front ok, good length of ribbing, well made rear, moved ok, but both dog & handler could with more practise. 2 Grant’s Hanishan Winningwaves at Granhoward, nice type, would prefer her stronger in foreface, well made & moved out well, handler could make more of her. Rathbone’s Fraulein Giselle at Brialind. PB (8,1) 1 Marston Teal’s Lordscairnie Look Of Love, lovely puppy with flowing lines, liked her type, good head with strong under jaw, well made front & rear, good proportions, moved well RCC & BP. 2 Daykin’s Barratini Hot Gossip, lovely type & good make and shape. Preferred my winners strength of head & felt that this girl was carrying a bit too much weight today, moved well. 3 Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat May Contain Nuts. JB (3) 1 Hunt’s Earthsea Dark Sorcery, not a bad type under rather a lot of coat, which did her no favours at all. Could do with more muscle tone which would help her movement. 2 Russell’s Russteck’s Magdalina, more continental type, good head with strong powerful jaw & super coat. 3 Maxwell’s Russteck Cranog by Bardrestan. YB (6,2) 1 Dance’s Emem Candy Sunshine, good head & neck well made body, in good coat & condition was the best mover in this class. 2 Settle’s Araedan Beilbiebub, liked her type, good front & rear, but was not cooperating with her handler, & needs to be a bit steadier on the move. PGB (5,3) 1 Poxon’s Kapodach Cup Cake JW, nice type, good head & length of neck, good lay of shoulder, well made rear, moved out well. 2 Walker’s Deepdax In The Red at Roselle, head & front ok, just preferred the overall balance & outline of 1. LB (9,1) 1 Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat Trix Of The Trade, lovely head & expression, superb front construction, with balanced rear. Had reach & drive on the move & presented in fantastic condition CC & BOB & RBIS. 2 Black’s Drakesleat Cheez Der one For Bassodon, similar type to 1, well put down & handled. 3 Shone’s Hanishan Eau Classique. OB (4) 1 Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat Ott Favourite, lovely head & eye, well made front & rear, good muscle tone, moved out well. 2 Marston Teal’s Lordscairnie Love Life, a really nice girl with nothing exaggerated, moved well. 3 Dance’s Ir Ch Emem Sunny Spells. VB (2) 1 Hill & Niall’s Drakesleat Material Girl at Kanstul, lovely type, but not quite giving her all today, but ok when settled. 2 Oram’s Janjac Moschino at Rosswell, another nice old girl who moved out well but just lacked the balance of 1.
