It is some ten years since I judged the breed last and during that time the breed has changed if todays entry is representative. Generally heads are much improved, with fewer round eyes and  associated over defined stops and weak muzzles. Coats on the whole were excellent, a few needed attention and some had been trimmed into shape to accentuate fronts or depth of brisket, pity. Movement was generally very good, though many exhibits clearly did not like the stripes on the floor. On the down side front assemblies still leave much to be desired with very short upper arms being common. There were many with flat, splayed, turned out feet. This is a working breed, a Dachshund with flat feet would not be able to do their job. These are all construction problems, but I was most concerned by the significant number of very nervous exhibits. This really needs addressing as soon as possible. MPD (2) 1 Presenails Taree Useless Loop. Dark brindle with pleasing head and dark eye. Well constructed with fabulous front. Correct jacket. Well angulated hind end. Movement OK Best Dog Puppy. 2 Hayward and Howells Fallowmill Cambera. Very attractive head, but not the front construction of 1. Very good hind movement. Crisp jacket, and a lovely temperament. PD (2,1) 1 Kugow and Holt's  Waldermeister Darby. Dark brindle with super jacket. Rather short in upper arm, but has good hind angulation. Keeps top-line on the move, but lost out for Best Dog puppy on hind movement. JD (3,2) 1 Jones Bimini Starstruck. Super little chap with lovely head and eye. Correct front assembly, with ribs carried well back. Excellent hind angulation, with correct movement fore and aft.  Super jacket. Excellent top-line at all times. Res. C.C. PGD (2) 1 Flower and Soderberg Baltiskiy Talisman Indiana Jones (Imp Rus) Amazing colour! Aristocratic head. Super hard coat, Very well boned. Reasonable feet. Very good hind angulation, and super top-line. 2 Hunts Earthsea's Billy The Kid. Pleasing head, and good coat. Needs to mature in all respects. LD (1) 1 Shone's Strax Gogol. Only 16 months. Very dark brindle with lovely head and eye. Excellent front assembly with tight thickly padded feet. Excellent jacket, though a little untidy in places. Hind quarters not as good as the front, and moves rather wide behind. Keeps top-line at all times. OD (6) Huge variation in type in this class.  I particularly liked the exhibit placed third, but he just would not cooperate with his handler on the move. 1 Rose's Ch. Ridanflight Ricardo. Super well balanced dog with good brindle coat. Pleasing head. Excellent front construction, with ribs carried well back. Correct movement in all respects. CC, BOB and res BIS. 2 Barney's Verrami En Trac Didn't grab me at all until I went over him. Good tight feet and hard coat. Well balanced. Good top-line and moved well. 3 Thorn-Andrews Drakesleat Hostile Takeova. Beautifully constructed well balanced dog who would not cooperate with his handler on the move. Such a pity.

Long reach of neck, giving lovely flowing lines. Very good tight thickly padded feet. Fabulous outline stood and on the move. Correctly angulated hind end. Harsh jacket. Beautifully presented. CC. 2 Fulton's Bothlyn Dancing Queen.  Unusual Chocolate and tan. The same comments apply as for the class winner, but not as confident as 1 and this reflected in her movement. 3 Blackburns Stargang Liberty Belle. PGB (9,4) 1 Kirkwood Helydon Fabulous Freya. Very little to choose between these two bitches. Both have good fronts and excellent coats. Pleasing heads. Both moved well.

Excellent front. Beautiful outline. Correctly angulated hind end. Very happy person. Res C.C. 2 Blackburns Stargang Compania Faerge. Pushed so hard. Lovely compact type.
