DACHSHUND - LONG HAIRED

There was a good turnout  of dogs which was a pleasure to go over, in some classes overall quality was  not good, and in others quality was very good which meant leaving some good  dogs cardless. I don't like big Dachshunds has everyone knows but I will not  put up a small one if the quality is not there. Some years ago standard longs  got very large, indeed I was quite shocked on seeing some of them lumbering  around the ring. But credit to the breeders size came back down again and when  I returned to showing again a few years ago it was on the whole quite good.  However in more recent times size has been creeping back in. Breeders may argue  that size is not important if its a good quality dog. That's all very well in  theory but in practice I find they are often course and lack a lot of the true  quality of a smaller well balanced one. I had such a dog in one of the class's.

OD I must mention which epitomizes what I have been saying is Ch.Abydachs  Oh What A Night, although not well placed to day, he was showing is age and up  against a lot of young strong competition. I have given him a CC before have  used him and consider him a well balanced correct size dog is a top winning dog  and if used well could do a lot for the breed. One thing that always puzzles me  is how little some of the top winning males are used at stud I know we are only  a numerically small breed but I am sure we could all benefit by trying  something new. I felt that a lot of the dogs I placed had a lot to offer the  breed, and unlike some breeds we are fortunate in so far as the breed does not  have hereditary defects, which means we can afford to experiment a little.

VD 1 Sutton Damai Master Benedict. Sound well made dog good top line  correct front moved well general overall appearance of a sound balanced dog. 2  Hutton Owley Majestic Of Dachalune. Nice dog did not move so well as above  overall good.

SP PD 1 Mitchells Bronia Larenzo. Very sound well  made good moving dog excellent hind  quarters Good neck and ribbing with good shoulders best Puppy and Res CC.  Almost gave him the CC this is a really nice dog of great quality. 2 Lewis. Bronia Chaos At Trixhund. Another nice  young dog Sound mover level tip line not such clean lines on neck and shoulders  as the winner, never the less this one is very good in type and size.

SP JD 1 Frocker Dachslur In His Prime. Stood alone. Strong head, overall sound dog  would like a little more go and confidence.

YD 1 Mitchell. Bronia  Absolute. Superb well presented and well balanced dog very good neck and well  constructed shoulders and front. Moved correctly with good drive held is top  line on the move Dog CC and BOB. 2 Duchesne Another good dog Level top line  good quarters lacked the drive of winner very smart standing. Nice size.

PG 1  Cook and Rhodes. Abydachs Rides The Storm. Lovely outline correct head and neck  moved well good firm thighs very sound all through this is one to watch, he  will go a long way. 2 Hutton River Rumpus Through Dachalune. Nice black and tan  good head front and ribbing moved well.
