Dog CC was Kirkwood-Emery’s Ch Helydon Laird
Loki JW, this 6 year old dog is of admirable breed type, was in top form and
well-presented, correct head properties, well-developed keel, topline and
underline in harmony, ideal ribbing, good hind angulation allowing for
driving hind action and to add to the picture has a good crisp jacket. Res
Dog CC was Dance’s Emem Solar Power JW, attractive dog rising 2 years and
unlucky to meet the winner today. This is another excellent typy Dachshund
of champion quality with much to admire, well-angled fore and aft, excellent
coat textures, correct ground clearance and moved truly. Bitch CC & BOB was
Thorn Andrews’ Ch Drakesleat Too Gud to be True, elegant 6 year old bitch
who is particularly well-constructed and of lovely breed type, she has a
sweet head, lovely neckline, prominent keel, sound legs and feet,
angulations are spot on, has good ground clearance, a correctly textured
jacket and moved well covering much ground. Res Bitch CC was Smith’s
Alncroft Ida Zire, gorgeous 2 year old bitch of beautiful breed type and of
champion quality, sweet yet houndy head, best of legs and feet, prominent
keel, ribbing extends well back and topline/underline in balance, adequate
ground clearance, harsh jacket and knows how to move. Best Puppy was Dance’s
Emem Hazel Sunshine, most promising 6 month bitch at her first show and full
of typical breed personality, she is beautifully put-together and of lovely
breed type, sweetly feminine yet a true hound, excellent coat and true
movement. This is a quality Dachshund.
MPD (1,0) 1 Beach & Partridge’s Cardaxians
BamBam Baby, 6.5 month old baby who gave a good account of himself, he has a
balanced outline, is soundly constructed, has correct ground clearance, a
good harsh jacket and showed well.
PD (2,0) 1 Howells’ Fallowmill Time Traveler,
9 months baby of sound construction who is maturing nicely, neckline and
body length give a well-balanced picture, good ground clearance, correct
topline and underline and moved truly. 2 Moss & Rowberry’s Griffingate I
Have A Dream, 12 months boy who was unlucky to meet the one above, a slower
developer, he just needs time to fill out and mature.
PGD (1,0) 1 Gilkes & Storton’s Dereheath
Shaken Not Stired At Birichino, 20 months dog of good overall breed type,
well ribbed, correct topline and adequate ground clearance, harsh jacket and
moved well.
OD (5,0) 1 Ch H L Loki JW. 2 E S Power JW. 3
Thorn Andrews & Billinghurst’s Ch Drakesleat Kumquat May.
MPB (2,0) 1 E H Sunshine. 2) Chugg’s
Kimbleholme Barbu, honest 7 months baby unlucky to meet the one above. She
just needs time to mature and develop.
PB (2,1) 1 Howells Fallowmill Story Time,
respectable 9 month baby who is developing at the correct rate, she has an
attractive head, well-balanced body properties, good ribbing and topline and
is soundly constructed. Time is on her side.
JB (1,0) 1 McKenna’s Bargemon Platinum Jubilee
at Tredreas, pretty 18 month old junior bitch who is soundly constructed,
has a prominent keel and a good harsh jacket and showed well.
PGB (6,0) This was a good class. 1 Jones’
Bimini To The Moon And Back, 21 months and Kirkwood’s Helydon Quickstep
Queeni, 2 years 3 months. It was difficult to separate these two attractive
bitches as both have their qualities and a much to like. They have
well-balanced outlines and are of true breed type, are soundly made with
good angulation fore and aft, correct toplines and correct coats. The first
was a little more active in movement. 3 Gilkes’ Just The Tonic At
Birichino.
LB (2,0) 1 A I Zire. 2 Marston Teal’s
Lordscairnie Endless Love, attractive 21 month bitch of a similar style to
the one above and was unlucky to meet her today. She has lovely breed type,
is sweetly feminine with an elegant neck and well-developed keel, nicely
balanced topline and underline and moved truly.
OB (4,0) 1 Ch D T G to be True. 2 Jones’
Bimini Chasing Moonbeams, lovely 4.5 year old bitch of style and quality,
sweet head and expression, good keel, best of legs and feet, ribs extend
well back, well-angled fore and hindquarters, correct topline and moved with
drive. Just preferred the neckline of the one above. 3 Dance’s Emem Letty
Bee Sunshine JW.
