Really enjoyed judging mini wires again my previous appointment being Crufts 2012
Thank you to the exhibitors for the lovely entry it was very much appreciated.in general I feel that the quality in this variety has gone down in the last 5years,one reason for this could be that people are just following trends when choosing a suitable dog for their bitch and not looking beyond that into what would actually suit their Lines ,i do feel that many of the foreign lines may play a part in this because they are of of a completely different type ,we seem to have lost the elegance of the hound ,there are too many either straight or far to heavy shoulders,length of ribbing is still a problem as is hind angulation, also as I constantly say miniature Dachshunds are hounds and should move as one not as a toy! On the plus side heads have greatly improved as have coats and presentation with a few exceptions who need nails attending too.i was delighted with my main winners.
 
Minor puppy Dog (3)
1.Fultons Bothlyn Super Trooper, just over 7 months little immature at the moment but has got potential, he has a lovely head and eye with good pro sternum and excellent shoulder placement moved soundly front and back to be over critical would prefer better feet but one who I'm sure will go far when fully mature.
 
2.Kirkwood-Emery Helydon Laird Loki,Another baby who has plenty of time I just preferred the front assembly of the winner.
 
3.Fleetham, Kimbleholme King Of Hearts.
 
Puppy Dog (4) 1,Kay, Kaytian Tempest Over Hiati, lovely happy red young man who has personality plus showing on a loose lead and not strung up! Lovely head and long neck into well angulated shoulders excellent pro sternum and a lovely hammy backend, good coat and presentation he keeps his outline very well on the move keeping a good topline moving with purpose. Promising boy.Best Puppy.
 
2,Russell, Russteck The Bruce, Brindle boy who needs to gain in confidence and hold his head up on the move, he is a quality lad with correct shoulders and ribbing fair pro sternum tended to move close in front but this could be because he wouldn't get his head up .
 
3,Reilly, Phyvars Winston.
 
Junior Dog (4)1, Thorn Andrews, Ch. Alncroft Over The Moon Drakesleat,lovely boy who pleased me immensely he is in my opinion the correct type with the most beautiful head and eye correctly constructed shoulders lovely reach of neck ,correct pro sternum and well angulated quarters on the move he is true both front and back presenting a very nice package indeed.
 
2, Kaytian Tempest Over  Hiati.
 
3,Russteck The Bruce.
 
Post Graduate Dog (2) 1, Clark, Lordscairnie Love God, lovely brindle lad who really has much to admire, he has the correct shoulder assembly lovely reach of neck good topline well muscled hammy quarters very true both coming and going and beautifully presented.pleased to award him Res cc.
 
2,Hayward & Howells Fallowmill Cambera,Brindle who lost out today on coat.
 
Limit Dog,(2,1ab) Presnail, Taree Useless Loop, brindle with good head and eye neat shoulders and fair topline would prefer more length of both top and under ribbing.
 
Open Dog,(5),1,Thorn Andrews, Ch Drakesleat Win A lot, wow 9 and a half years young!! And shows and acts like a youngster such a credit to his owner/breeder he certainly has the  X Factor!! The most beautiful head and eye with a keen expression he oozes quality, correct well placed angulated shoulders lovely reach of neck lacking in so many, prominent forechest good depth of ribbing with excellent topline and nicely rounded hammy quarters excellent ground coverage perfectly true front and back add to this the obvious devotion from dog and owner and you have complete package , I was delighted to award him cc which gave him The Breed Record well done and very well deserved and BOB.
 
2,Jones,Ch. Bimini Starstruck, very worthy champion lovely type of boy who has many obvious breed points to admire today though for some reason he was turning a back foot in on the move.
 
3,Fleethams Kimbleholme jackpot.
 
Minor Puppy Bitch(4),1, Jones Bimini Wish Upon A Star, lovely brindle baby of excellent type with lovely flowing lines quality outline kept at all times for me though she could do with a slightly longer reach of neck, how ever she has many other attributes to admire that should do her well in the future.
 
2,Morris,Pennywave Pollyanna, nicely constructed brindle overall lovely head and eye and excellent pro sturnum however today her rear movement let her down today.
 
3,Kirkwood-Emery, Helydon Fabulous Freya.
 
Puppy Bitch(3) 1,Grant,Granhoward Ownly, lovely little girl just my type beautiful head and eye neck running into well placed angulated shoulders , good spring and depth of rib keeps a good topline whilst moving with elegance around the ring.
 
2,Daykin, Barrantini Angels Eve,Again a promising youngster at present though is slightly heavy in shoulder she is only young though so this could change.
 
3,Hunt, Earthsea Miss Givings.
 
Junior Bitch,(10) 1,Jones, Bimini Blue Moon,really liked this youngster again of the same type this kennel produces,lovely flowing lines quality all through excellent outline kept at all times, a bright future ahead of this young lady.
 
2,Fultons Bothlyn Half A Sixpence, young lady with many qualitys to admire including nice head and eye lovely reach of neck and well laid shoulders excellent hind angulation however she had just come into season which was probably the reason for her moving slightly wide behind.
 
3,Black, Bassondon Dodecahedron.
 
Post Graduate Bitch,(6), 1,Meredith, Deepdax Perrie, lovely bitch with super bone and construction lovely spring of rib nicely rounded hammy quarters excellent tight feet very true on the move both front and back a very houndy bitch who has much to admire another one with I hope a good future.
 
2,Morris, Pennywave uptown Girl Jw ShCm, nice bitch unlucky to meet number 1 she too is a quality lady but she was too heavy in shoulder for me.
 
3,Selley, Ubu Belarus Nahla To Heleanne.
 
Limit Bitch,(7) 1,Meredith, Deepdax Lets Dance, Dam to the winner of PG and you can see where Perrie gets her qualities from, she is very sound from top to tail add to this true free movement and you have a lovely bitch.
 
2, Morris, Pennywave Top Totti Jw ShCm, nice bitch with appealing head and eye lovely rear angulation with fair movement but I would prefer tighter elbows and a longer under rib.
 
3,Marston- Teal, Lordscairnie Life Of Love.
 
Open Bitch,(6),1, Thorn-Andrews , Ch, Drakesleat Stitch In Time, A Beautiful brindle lady who is so my type she oozes quality from her beautiful head and eye lovely long reach of neck correctly laid and well angulated shoulder good pro sturnum , tight feet lovely front well rounded angulated rear so true both front and back keeping her outline at all times on the move in profile , I was delighted to award her cc.
 
2,Smith & Moon, Drakesleat Prim N Proper For Alncroft, The most beautiful bitch litter sister to number 1, what a beautiful litter , she is a slightly different type to Stitch but none the less I loved her so very well constructed all through with fantastic shoulders ribs and hind angulation lovely head and eye and the best of front assembly she moves with good reach and drive beautifully presented and so well shown by her young handler who really gets the best out of her and this young lady's love for her dog is so obvious for everyone to see I awarded her the res cc and learnt after that she has already 2ccs her 3 should not be far away.
