Thank you to the committee of the Midland Dachshund Club for the invite to judge Standard Long Haired Dachshunds at their club show 2019. Thank you to my steward Ian Seath who ensured everything ran smoothly. To the exhibitors for the entries and for the sportsmanship In accepting my placings. Some decisions were hard and on a different day exhibits could have swapped places.

On the whole all exhibits were presented to an extremely high standard. One of two could have benefited from having teeth cleaned and some attention to coats especially round the those areas that can become matted easily. However on the whole presentation was good and I was pleased with my main winners.

While judging I was looking for a balanced hound with a good outline that could move. All exhibits were confident and happy. One of two perhaps carried a little to much weight and I felt this this affected there outline and movement on the day.

 

Veternan Dog – 0

Minor Puppy – 2

1.       Roberts Swansford Gabrieldor S/R masculine puppy with lovely head and eye. Good neck into well placed shoulders with an excellent upper arm. Ribbed right back excellent feet and bone. This youngster was sound moving although just requires a bit more confidence.  I am sure this puppy will have a very bright future. One I look forward to watching.

2.       Boyle’s Zarcrest Huw Grant S/R another promising puppy well presented and in excellent condition. Good head and eye and flowing neck into good shoulders. Excellent bone and nice feet. Well angulated both front and rear. Was just not fully cooperating with handler today and was a little hard to access on the move however when he fell into his stride was sound out and back. I am sure these 2 could change places on another day.
