Dachshund (Long Haired)

Judge: Stella Blackmore

DACHSHUND - LONG-HAIRED:

P 1 Bongiovanni’s Merrygarth Greve De Lecq Avec Ankors. Very much a baby, but plenty of quality, lovely head, well ribbed back, good topline, good bone and feet. Moved freely, needs to tighten up behind, will mature into a lovely adult. BP. 2 Pannell’s Penzown Sorcerer. More mature youngster, in good coat with good head and topline, moved steadily but inclined to pin in coming too.

ND 1 Jordans’ Resurgam Moonlight Sonata. B/T, stood alone. Plenty of good bone, level topline, well ribbed back and moved steadily but without any enthusiasm.

PGD 1 Burke and Manston’s Bonavoir Cloneylogan. Just over 1 year, good in head, neck, and well ribbed back, good bone and feet, moved with drive.

LD 1 Burke and Manston’s Bonavoir seven Sisters. Good head and neck, very like his kennel mate, good bone, nice tight feet, stylish mover with good topline. 2 Oxley’s Larkhund Latest Destroyer At Owlery. Good type and quality, good bone and feet, kept his topline on the move. 3 Pannell’s Penzown Black Edition.

OD 1 Swann and Roberts’ Ch Swansford Lanador. BOB. Lovely red dog, plenty of ring presence. Good head held high, good length of neck and ribbing, excellent bone and feet, a pleasure to watch him move. 2 McNaughton’s Elindean Othello Of Cedavoch. Another of real quality and good type. Moved well carrying his tail a bit high on the day. ResBD.

JB 1 C;ark and Chandon’s Tekalhaus Kruggerand. Just over one year, nice type, well made youngster, good head, neck and topline, well ribbed back and moved soundly, should mature into a nice bitch. 2 Oxley’s Owlery Golden Splendour. Pretty bitch, sweet head and expression, good neck, topline, not quite so good in ribbing as 1.

PG 1 Jordan’s Bonavoir Dark Spirit. Didn’t show herself to advantage on the day, very lethargic and her hind movement suffered. Pleasing head, good bone, topline and tail carriage.

LB 1 Chapman’s Melminds Melanee. Pleasing b/t with good head, neck and topline, well boned, nice tight feet and moved very well. 2 Carter’s Darsoms Zolara. Well made bitch, good head, very close to 1 but was down on her pasterns, apart from this a very nice bitch. These two could change places on another day.

OB 1 Swan and Roberts’ Rodima Gold Myst Over Swansford. What a lovely bitch, so full of quality, sweet head carried high, good neck and topline, plenty of bone, good feet, it was a joy to see her move, her father just tipped her for BOB on maturity. One to watch for the future. BOS.
