DARLINGTON 2004 (NO CC'S) Dachshund (Smooth Haired) Judge: Mr Peter Berry
|
SMOOTH HAIRED
Initially I was thrilled to be asked to judge at such a prestigious show as Darlington, but I was very disappointed with the entry. Having said that I was pleasantly surprised in some areas with the quality of the smooths, I thought the mini wires were a bit lacking in quality but the standard wires were simply dreadful. I would like to thank the committee of Darlington for such a lovely day, their hospitality and friendship was faultless.
OD 2 1 D’Arisca Class Distinction at Carpaccio. Lovely chocolate dog of sheer quality. Lovely head and eye shape, nice mouth, lovely front, good length of ribbing, nice body length onto sturdy back end, moved effortlessly around the ring, stood well. BOB
OB 1 Carpaccio Tranzanite. Lovely black and tan bitch of quality. Good head and eye shape, lovely neck and front end with nice tight shoulders, good length of ribbing, nice level topline, and good sturdy back end, flowed around the ring. Just preferred dog for ring presence.
