S/H DACHSHUNDS – Many thanks to Dachshund Club & their hospitality on the day & my ever helpful steward.

Generally speaking I was pleased with my principle winners & it was good to see my BOB go on to win BIS. However, that said I felt the quality isn’t there in any great depth, with the bitches slightly ahead. Rear construction is poor & shows on the move with very little drive or tummy tapping. Heads have lost their strength & in some cases not enough underjaw. Hence their lack of power & ability to do their original purpose of taking on a badger. I would also be worried about temperaments, it says bold, defiant carriage of head & intelligent expression. not many showed this trait!

MPD & PD (0). JD (1) Kerry’s Kireton Beau Diddley, a honest type of dog. Good length of head with well set eye & infill. Level topline, but would like slightly longer rib or shorter loin. However balanced, like a little less across the shoulder. Good bone & feet. True fore & aft but would like a little more animation. PGD (3) 1 Hunt’s Carpaccio Trouble In Store, won on overall balance. A good type & plenty of substance. Good clean neck & front construction with well laid shoulder. Well sprung rib. Wasn’t the most settled on the move today; 2 Starkey’s Carpaccio Topic Of The Day is Hamoura, moved well both ways. Good depth of brisket, level topline, straight front. Would have liked a little more substance all the way through; 3 Ragget’s Amlida Vantage for Dansila. LD (8,2) 1 Williams & Moes’ Cwmdarhian San Andreas, won on movement. Good head & expression. Level topline like a little less length of loin. Good bone & feet, plenty of forechest. Kept his topline on the move, & happy on the move. RCC; 2 Seago & Gibbard Amlida Spirit, good head & expression well balanced. Well ribbed & good depth of brisket. Level topline & kept it in the move. An honest type & happy disposition; 3 McNaughton’s Carper Ag von Nordor. OD (4) 1 Armstrong’s Ch Lauralee Nicholas Nickleby, won on movement & attitude & ring presence. Good size. Well ribbed back & good loin, good strong topline. Into well constructed rear end. Good hard condition & shine to coat. Straight front into good feet. CC, BOB & BIS; 2 Chauhan & Cerasini’s Gr Ch/Ch Brownwood’s Best Gift V Diagram, in good hard condition & showed on the move, good bone & feet. Pleasing masculine head. Like slightly shorter in loin; 3 Tite’s Ch Phaeland Special Driver at Rijobeau. VD (0).

MPB (3) 1 Norton’s Matzell Myrtle, promising happy baby. Well balanced body & good strong topline. Pleasing head & expression & nice eye. Good bone & feet. Needs to firm up on the move; 2 Stringfellow’s Oxonachs Amethyst at Silvatica, feminine head & expression with a kind eye. Good bone & feet into a well made body with good depth of brisket & well ribbed back. Like a little more length in loin at the moment; 3 Handy’s Carpaccio Amethyst Star at Pelirroja. PB (3) 1 Hunt’s Lauralee Miss Marple at Carpaccio, 1 & 2 are litter sisters. At the moment I just preferred the head with a little more breath of skull & muzzle. Good bone & feet, good clean neck & well laid shoulder. Strong topline & well ribbed, moved well both fore & aft. Well balanced baby. BP; 2 Paget & Carroll’s Lauralee Lying Eyes for Marvale, very similar type but not quite as confident as 1 at the moment, pulls in to a super balanced shape. Again moved well; 3 Higgins’ Leveliss Gaudete. JB (4) 1 Seago & Gibbard’s Amlida Asintended, preferred the proportions to 2. Pretty feminine head & expression, good straight front with good bone & feet. In super condition & good gleam to the coat, good to see free standing as well; 2 Jones’ Adnerbs Lexi Get Fizzical, not quite the substance of 1. Well ribbed & good loin. Straight front with good bone & feet. Moved well enough, but not quite the profile on the move of 1; 3 Kerry’s Kireton Daisy Belle. PGB (4,1) 1 Alton’s Kiersha That’s Showbizness, moved with its tail never stopping, refreshing to see. Feminine head & expression with a kind eye. Well set ear. Good strong topline, plenty of substance with a well made rear construction; 2 Jones’ Hampdachs In These Arms of Adnerb, a well balanced bitch with good bone & feet, well sprung rib. Came towards you truly. Not quite the head of 1; 3 Smith, Connor & Sorrell’s Lady Godiva V D Mibaf’s Hoeve at Conchur. LB (6,2) 1 MacDonald’s Bensarka Sarabi, lovely free flowing lines in profile. clean neck into a good lay of shoulder into well sprung rib & short loin. Good rear angles. Good bone & feet, best mover by far in the class actually went somewhere on the move. RCC; 2 Burke & Manston’s Bonavoir Nulli Secunder, longer caste than 1. In good condition & made a better pair with 1 type wise; 3 Alton’s Kiersha Futures Dream. OB (4,1) 1 Williams & Moes’ Cwmdarhian Hot Off The Press, I preferred the flow through the neck & shoulders into the topline. Feminine head & expression clean neck & shoulder into well sprung rib & strong loin. Moved well & kept her topline in profile. CC; 2 Norton’s Matzell Minella, little heavier across the shoulder than 1. Well ribbed & good loin, not quite the head & underjaw of 1. Move well; 3 Seago & Gibbard’s Ch Amlida Evora. VB (2) 1 Norton’s Ch Matzell Mildred, won on personality & presence around the ring on the move. Good solid topline, preferred head & expression. Good bone & feet. BV; 2 Turner’s Marictur Moulin Rouge, well made behind & showed on the move. Not as tight in front as 1.
