DACHSHUND - WIRE HAIRED


 

I felt greatly honoured to  receive the invitation to judge this delightful variety of Dachshunds at  Crufts. I was very pleased with the numerical entry of 99 hounds, and thank  exhibitors for giving me the privilege of assessing your wonderful hounds. I  had a really enjoyable day and I was very pleased with my main winners. As  always temperaments in this variety were excellent, coats were also good. I  thought that the BOB, "Tendrow Peaches" put on a wonderful display in the Group  ring, the action shot of her in profile movement was superb, and I felt she  deserved to be shortlisted in the Group. That said it is now 20 yrs since I  first awarded CC's to this variety and I am sorry to say that many of the  shortcomings in construction identified then still apply today i.e. shortness  in length of upper arm together with insufficient layback of shoulder blade.  Something that I had not experienced before was apparent over angulation in the  hindquarters i.e. extra length in the shin-bones and long hocks, coupled with  insufficient width across the hindquarters. Placing's were based solely on  performance today. The determining factors being not only type but also how  dogs carried themselves and whether or not they were sound in movement with  good reach and drive. I could not place dogs on what they had done previously,  hence unfortunately there were disappointments, but that is the name of the  game.

VD
(1) 1 North-Row's Ir Ch Barmaud Jacob. Chunky well boned 7 yr  old brindle of good proportions, very masculine in outlook with appealing  head/eye and strong jaw, well filled front, neat elbows, balanced in fore and  hindquarters, well ribbed back, presented in good harsh coat, good sound  movement, driving off short hocks.

Sp PD
(4) All quite different in type  and stages of maturity, it will be interesting to see how they develop. 1  Davies' Atahira Joie De Bleu, BP. 13 mth, dark brindle with immediate appeal,  chunky and well boned, very much "all together" in his build, liked everything  about him, appealed in head/eye, well filled oval front, balanced proportions  and good angulation in fore and hindquarters, good bone and feet, ribbing  carried well back, short loin, had good width with well rounded "hammy"  quarters, carried himself really well with sound driving movement off short  parallel hocks. I see from the catalogue that his dam was my bitch CC winner  the last time I judged the breed. 2  Moore's Metewand Bogen By The Sea. Younger brindle at 10 mths, out of a  slightly larger mould and still at the "gangly stage", has all the essentials  to develop into a sound dog, at this stage is not as together as the winner, he  has good body proportions, strong bone and a harsh jacket. Has the fore and  hind angulation that I was looking for. 3 McPherson &Paterson's Fransin  Brasilian TP Panettone (Imp). Higher stationed, lighter framed brindle of 13  mths with immediate appeal at the stance, liked his size and outline, is  obviously more continental in type and is narrower all through than those  above, lacks the development in fore-chest and hindquarters that I was looking  for, though this could come with maturity. Was well presented and in excellent  harsh jacket.

Sp JD
(3) 1 Paskin's Kindeace Blue Savanah. Most attractive  quality dark brindle just short of 18 mths, had everything required, lovely  size, proportions and bone, well filled front, neat elbows, ribbing well back,  short loin, good width all through, balanced angulation in both fore and  hindquarters, nicely muscled hindquarters and short hocks, in excellent harsh  jacket, liked the harsh leg furnishings. Moved out soundly and smartly. 2  Weatherer's Salixian Levante Via Itsuitzuz. Another dark brindle of 15 mths, at  the moment some way behind the winner in terms of maturity, pleased for size,  proportions and coat, fore chest needing to develop and fill, pleased in  ribbing, lacks the hind angulation of first. Moved out smartly. 3 Robinson's  Tagundnacht Mr Bojangles. Slightly larger framed brindle of 16 mths, still very  immature, whilst he holds a reasonable outline at the stack, he does not  maintain it on the move, would prefer to see more angulation in the forehand  with more length in upper arm, together with shorter length of hocks. Coat  looks to be ok but needs tidying up.

YD
(6, 2) 1 Webb &Mifsud's  Bassjoy Take A Chance On Me. 21 mth brindle of pleasing size, of continental  type being rather higher on the leg, still rather raw and needing to mature,  pleased in most respects, held a good outline and was more steady in his  movement, coat was harsh but rather sparse, excellent leg hair. 2 Hubbe's Treis  Pinheiros Faberge. At the stance this 21 mth dark brindle was the stand away  here, held a super outline and was of ideal proportions, good bone, well  developed forechest, ribbing well back, however the outline was achieved by  sitting down on his greater length of hock, when moving away he was not as  steady as the winner. Coat was very good with harsh furnishings. 3 Hastings'  Bardings Benny The Dip. Well coated rich red of 21 mths, liked his bone and  feet, still needing to develop in forechest and mature all through, felt that  he was capable of performing better than he did here.

PGD
(8, 2) Found  this to be a disappointing class. 1 Hastings' Lesandnic Sublimity. This mature  3 yr old red, stood away here for his overall outline and type, liked his  proportions, construction, ribbing and strength of bone, looks better on the  move than at the stance, in good jacket. 2 Draganescu's Ford Of Karma's Legacy.  A smaller more compact brindle of 20 mths, presenting an very neat package,  higher on the leg, well presented and handled, although he does not need to be  moved at such speed, in common with other continental dogs, found him to be  narrower all through and with rather too much hind angulation, in excellent  coat. 3 Langley & Adkins' Philisha Jack Be Nimble. Fully mature 5 yr  brindle of larger size, pleased in outline at the stance, but was not quite as  sound on the move as those in front.

LD
(10) High quality class. 1  McCalmont's Silvae Quantum. This brindle youngster of 16 mths immediately  catches ones attention, lovely head/jaw and eyes, firm outline, superbly put  together, liked his well filled front, neat elbows, lengthy ribbing, strong  loin and with rounded, well muscled quarters, good strength of bone and well  bunched neat feet, good fore and hind angulation enabled him to move out with  an easy stride. In excellent jacket. Only lack of maturity kept him from higher  honours, certainly one for the future. 2 Singleton's Tendrow Drumm Crazy  Jethard. Another brindle youngster of 22 mths, perhaps of better size, again  presents a pleasing outline and with lots to like, ticked all the boxes with  regard to breed points, ribbing, angulation, good bone and well bunched feet,  felt that he did not project himself quite as well as the winner, moved out  soundly but would like to see a little more drive in hind action. Well  presented in good jacket. 3 Seath's Sunsong Whisper A Promise. This  chocolate/tan of 2 yrs completed a trio of good prospects for the future, liked  his outline and overall proportions, masculine in outlook, moved out smartly,  thought those above scored in front construction. Well presented in good harsh  jacket.

OD
(14, 2) This was a class of excellent quality, hotly  contested. 1 McCalmont's Ch Silvae Zealot. DCC. Fully mature stallion hound who  commanded the ring, 3 yr brindle half brother to the Limit winner, has  everything that I was looking for, loved his head carriage and general  deportment, masculine houndy headpiece, strong jaw, good length of neck into  smooth well laid back shoulders, good length and return of upper arm,  pronounced pro sternum, with well filled oval thorax, firm hard body, ribbing  well carried back, short firm loin, into well angulated and rounded  hindquarters, well carried stern, moved out effortlessly with good reach and  good drive off short hocks, the real deal. 2 Lewis-Crooks' Barmaud Rufus. RCC.  Red lad almost 3 yrs, awarded him a Res CC last time I judged, was unlucky to  meet the winner in such fine form, still like him a lot, is much better on the  move than at the stance, has a good head/eye and expression, great body and  ribbing, particularly liked his rear parallel driving movement, but could not  quite match the front of the winner, well presented coat. 3 Dible's Multi Ch  Lieblings Stormin Norman. Fully mature rich red, who I see is the sire of  Rufus, lots to like, of lovely type and size, thought that he was capable of  more than displayed today, has all the breed points required, as one would  expect from his many titles, moved out soundly but without real enthusiasm, presented  in good jacket but would look better with more facial furnishings.

GCD
(2)  1 Patton's Int/Ir Ch Lesandnic Larsson. Fully mature brindle with pin wire  coat, nothing to hide with this close coat, of continental type being slightly  higher on the leg, well put together and scored here on his movement, with good  free stride. 2 Smith's Salixian Eclat. More compact brindle of chunkier build,  most attractive at the stance, pleased in most respects, but could not match  the movement of first.

VB
(3) 1 Pugh & Fraser's Ch Bystock Pumpkin  Pie. Very pleasing class of mature ladies, found this 7 yr old brindle to be  the best overall for construction, size and bone, in excellent jacket and moved  out soundly with enthusiasm. 2 North-Row's Ir Ch Barmaud Jessica. Another 7 yr  old brindle of slightly larger frame, I see she is the dam of "Rufus", very  pleasing for type, and construction, but thought that she would look better  carrying more condition, again moved soundly and freely. 3 Kent's Leibling  Sweet Charity. 10 yr old brindle of lovely size and outline, nicely put  together, good bone and in good jacket, felt that she was a little overwhelmed  by the occasion and this affected her movement.

Sp PB
(6) 1 Orchard  &Whitelock's Boloria's Hershey Kiss. Most attractive 10 mth choc/tan,  appealed for her type, sound construction and size, liked her shoulder  placement and forehand assembly, with legs placed well under her body, good  ribbing and topline, can still settle in her hindquarters, moved out the  soundest in this class. 2 Rowe's Boloria's Naughty But Nice. 10 mth old  choc/tan, litter sister to winner, of slightly larger frame with more ground  clearance, moved out smartly with enthusiasm, could not quite match her sisters  forehand construction. 3 Vine's Chiselvine Cazadokes. Brindle baby of 8 mths,  loved her type, was quite overawed by the occasion, but has real  potential. Very well put together,  presents a pleasing outline, has a good jacket, showed glimpses of sound  movement.

Sp JB
(6) 1 Bates &Maes-Jones' Derochaise Elegancia.  Thought that this quality d/brindle of 17 mths, stood away here for her well  balanced outline, size and sound free movement, very well put together, good  bone and well bunched feet, pleasing angulation in both fore and hindquarters,  well filled front, firm topline, ribbing well carried back and with short loin,  most pleasing prospect for the future. 2 Robinson's Tagundnacht the Gypsy Girl.  Most attractive lighter brindle of 16 mths, out of a slightly larger frame and  was higher stationed, has good bone and feet, lengthy neck into good forehand,  well ribbed back, in good jacket, looks to have potential and was sound in  movement. 3 Smith's Salixian Leveche. Attractively headed brindle of 15 mths,  of pleasing size, but slightly longer cast than those above, lots to like,  presents an attractive overall outline, in good jacket and moved out with  enthusiasm, preferred the fore and hindquarter assemblies of those above.

YB
(8,  1) 1 Patton's Ir Ch Bardings By The Way. Striking rich red of 21 mths. I see  that she is sired by the Post Grad winner, much to like, such a sound free  mover, in fabulous harsh jacket, feel that she has still to come to her best,  would look even better with a touch more hind angulation and slightly shorter  hocks. 2 Morris' Wagsford Winona. Very typy brindle of 18 mths, shows much  potential, still needing to mature to fulfil that promise, felt that she scored  in hind angulation over the winner, but could not match the front assembly or  carriage and deportment of first. 3 Lewis-Crooks' Black Beauty By Kormeese  Creado. Neat and chunky d/brindle of 23 mths, more compact with a pleasing  outline, well presented and handled, in good jacket, did not have the scope on  the move of those above.

PGB
(6, 2) 1 Vine's Cishelvine Echoes Of The  Sea. Attractive 2 yr old brindle who was the soundest in this class, appealed  for type and outline, still appears immature, well put together with the best  forehand with well filled front, good bone and feet, good ribbing and with well  rounded "hammy" quarters, pleasing jacket. 2 Brown's November Storm For  Ablebody. Very smart and well presented 2 yr old red in excellent harsh jacket,  good overall shape, moved out with slightly more drive than first, but could  not match the front of winner. 3 Rowe's Derochaise Atlantica To Ablebody.  Attractive 17 mth d/brindle with lots of appeal at the stance, firm in outline,  but could not match the movement of those above.

LB
(12, 2) Hotly  contested class. 1 Moore's Cloudside Lara. Fully mature 3 yr old light brindle  of lovely type, holds a super outline, very pleasing head/eye and expression,  very well constructed with balanced angulation in both fore and hindquarters,  really well filled oval thorax, strong bone, neat feet, good in both topline  and underline, ribbing carried well back into short strong loin with slight  rise, hindquarters are well muscled with short hocks, moved out really well  with sound driving movement, just needing her coat to come fully through to  complete the picture, was close up for top honours. 2 McCalmont's Silvae Quintet.  Rangier 15 mth old light brindle with much to like, litter sister to Limit Dog  winner, giving away a lot in maturity, has so much promise, would not want her  any larger, really houndy in head and expression, strong jaw, lengthy neck into  well laid shoulders, well filled front, holds a firm outline, perhaps could be  a shade shorter in the hocks, moved out really well and was topped off with a  good jacket. 3 Singleton's Tendrow Dance With You Jethard. Attractive headed  brindle of 22 mths, completed this trio of super bitches, of very pleasing size  and balanced outline, has all the essentials, front, bone, angulation, ribbing,  musculature and coat, like her brother in Limit Dog, I thought she was capable  of putting on a better performance, not quite together on the move as those  above.

OB(12, 2) Class of real quality. 1 Phillips' Tendrow  Peaches. CC. & BOB. 2 yr old red of real quality, has the  most beautiful head and expression, with the darkest pigment, loved everything  about her, so well put together, of lovely size, presents a picture of balanced  outline, with ideal angulation in both fore and hindquarters, well let down  hocks, ribbing well sprung and well carried back into short firm loin with  slight rise, really well muscled hindquarters, good bone and well bunched feet,  all wrapped up in a rich red harsh jacket, holds herself so well on the move  with a free and easy effortless action with well carried stern. 2 McCalmont's  Ch Silvae Zeal. Res CC. I see that this classy 3 yr old brindle is litter sister  to "Zealot", what a good litter this must have been, close up to winner, holds  a super outline, has everything required in terms of conformation, front,  ribbing, fore and hind angulation, great bone, feet and excellent jacket, came  down to overall proportions and attitude. 3 Pughe &Fraser's Bystock Pussy  Galore. This quality brindle of almost 3 yrs completed a trio of beautiful  bitches, of pleasing size and outline,  very neat with good bone and feet, balanced angulation in both fore and  hindquarters, well presented in excellent jacket, moved out soundly.

GCB
(3,  1) 1 Perry's Petal Rebecca Von Tagundnacht. Fully mature light brindle of 6  yrs, houndy head with strong jaw, well put together, with well filled front,  good bone and feet, moved out smartly, pleasing jacket. 2 Paskin's Kindeace See  Emily Play. Smaller framed brindle of 4 yrs, more feminine in outlook, with not  quite the balance and movement of first, excellent pin wire jacket.
