Championship Show:Standard  Wire Haired Dachshund All exhibits were well presented in good clean  condition, dentition very good on all exhibits, some exhibits carried their  tails high rather than level as is required. I was looking for a male dog with  strength and substance, hence my dog CC and Reserve Dog CC. I felt the bitches  were all round better but a lot of positives on show. MPD (2) 1 Moore's  Metewand Bogen By The Sea. Strong dog all round, pleasing head features, good  strong prominent fore chest, good substance all round, front feet need to  tighten up. 2 Rowe's. Bolorias Cadbury's Surprise. Finer type than the winner,  what is there is sound, pleasing head, decent fore chest, tidy ribbing, moved  around very well. PD (2,1a) 1 Weatherer's. Salixian Levante Via  Itsuitzuz. Well presented dog with decent front, would like a liitle more  length of neck but a decent line from withers to croup, carried tail rather  high on the move. JD (3) 1 Moore's. Cloudside Monte Carlo. Nice head  features, everything in the right place, decent ribbing, good harsh jacket,  would like a straighter hind action. 2 Robinson's. Tagundnacht Mr Bojangles. He  decided to give his handler a hard time, handler struggled to set the dog up on  the table, when he decided to give it a go he looked ok. 3 Harris's. Ritlo  Mandarin Man. PGD (3) 1 Hooper's. Strutting Arch At Starhill. Red dog  with a very good coat, Correct fore chest, well muscled body, strong quarters,  won the class on movement. 2 Rowe's. Bolorias Valentino. Best head of the day,  his head features could sell a million birthday cards, tidy fore chest, good  ribbing, good length, he needs to body up, when he does he will I am sure do  some winning. 3 Derry's. Eydehavin Helmsley At Andlous. LD (8,3a) Some  very nice dogs on show in this class, results came down to presentation and  performance on the day. 1 Vine's. Allfreys To Catch A Thief At Cishelvine. Nice  dog all round, typical wire head features, very tidy front, good shoulder  placement with decent length of upper arm, good ribbing, Well muscled thigh giving  good drive, always in the mix for the top awards. 2 Skinner's. Ritterburg Storm  Trooper. When it comes to presenting a wire to the show ring then this lady  handler is the best in the business. Super head features, good dentition, good  strong fore chest, excellent ribbing, good line from withers to croup, hind  drive action not as strong as the winner but not a lot a lot between them. 3  Rollinson's. Bystock Double O Seven At Nosinllor. OD (9,2a) Another  cracking class with loads of quality on show, it came down to my personnel  preference of type. 1 McCalmont's. Sylvae Quantum.

A good strong male head with ear, eye set correctly,  strong prominent fore chest, excellent ribbing, forequarters good with ample  upper arm, great strength around the loin, good well muscled hindquarters  giving strong positive movement.
