I would like to thank the Hound show for inviting me to judge miniature wirehaired dachshunds and also my excellent stewards who kept everything moving so efficiently and pleasantly. I was certainly pleased to be judging at the beginning of the weekend extravaganza rather than the end. I have to say that having to request wipes during my judging because my hands were so filthy was not something I expected.
It is sometime since I last judged the mini wires and unfortunately whilst I was very happy with my winners I felt that quality in depth was lacking especially in some of the lower classes. I did feel that the bitches on the whole had the edge over the dogs. I found there was an issue with foreshortened foreface lacking the lovely conical head as described in the standard, this combined with round eyes and small ears definitely detracts from the overall picture. I did however feel that feet were in general better with many having the nice tight feet that are so important in a digging breed. I make no apology for moving the dogs round several times as I don’t judge statues and a good handler can hide poor construction by clever posing. I felt that in general the variety lacked the ‘free and flowing movement with drive when viewed from the side’. Instead there is short pitter patter type movement with no drive from the rear which is incorrect.. The parallel movement when seen from the rear was also missing on many of the entry. Toplines were very variable. Despite no scales I didn’t feel there was any great disparity in size. Coats were in general good. Temperaments were acceptable with most not backing off when returning to me after moving and handling on the table was mostly fine.
MPD. 5(0) 1.S. Hunt Earthsea’s Santa Paws – hard coated dapple that presented more of a balanced picture. 2. Stephenson’s Wistex Perfect Storm. More mature wildboar Just felt winner had the better shoulder placement and therefore sounder font movement.3. Fitzherbert Stewart & Tomsett’s Dejean Spanish Gold with Ottateck.
PD. 3(0) 1.Peek’s Milkwood’s May Bud More mature wildboar with nice tight coat and excellent feet. 2. Hayward’s Foxearth Frank Zappa Rangier puppy with time on his side. Excellent coat and good temperament. 3. Hill’s Weipowa Hocus Pocus.
JD 7(1). 1.Rose’s Ridanflight Gilcoru Gino red dog with good breed type. Particularly liked his correct headshape which was combined with good length of neck and better shoulders than most. Moved out with style and balance. 2.Thorn Andrew’s Griffingate St George for Drakeleat another nice young dog . Again good breed type and correct head. Excellent coat. Just preferred shorter 2nd thigh on 1. 3. Mill’s Hillersland Stroller at Oniasid.

JB 5(0) 1. Rose’s Merryline Martha with Rosencrantz wildboar bitch with balanced outline. Reasonable shoulder and good ribbing who moved out well. 2. Dance’s Emem Joyful Sunshine.
