Southern Counties Championship Show 2013

Wirehaired Dachshund

PD(2) 1 Seath's Zlowfox Av Larhjelm At Sunsong (Imp Nor). Very handsome young chap, good neck and shoulder, well boned with firm topline, needs to firm in front and in hocks but has time. 2 Vine's Cishelvine Red Admiral. Hard to assess this boy as he wriggled so much, however, his hind movement was excellent and very happy in temperament, possibly a touch long overall but as his legs never reached the floor, hard to tell!

JD(1) 1 Davies' Atahira Joie De Bleu. Lovely dark brindle youngster, attractive head and expression, well laid shoulder, elbows well under and well ribbed back, firm topline and lovely 'apple' bum. Went well from any angle and impressed when stacked. RCC and pushed what turned out to be his sire closely in challenge.

PGD(3, 1) 1 Rowe's Boloria's Cadbury's Surprise. 13 mth old chocolate, excellent construction, if a little soft behind the wither at present, well filled front and good spring of rib, strong quarters and moved out freely. 2 Hastings' Lesandnic Sublimity. Handsome 3 yr old red, good harsh coat, well boned with strong hindquarters, a little light in condition over the loin but moved soundly.

LD(5, 2) 1 Seath's Sunsong Whisper A Promise. Very well put together. I see is the sire of pgd and pgb winners and is passing on his good type and overall balance, rather long in foreface, nice neck and topline, super quarters and well filled front, moved true. 2 Gibson's Allfreys Rock Of Gibralter. Pushed winner hard, lovely type, good length of neck, firm back and spring of rib, strong quarters, giving good drive from well bent stifles. 3 Rowe's Boloria Valentino.

OD(4) 1 Phillips' Ch Cishelvine Swellegant Guy At Tendrow JW. Caught my eye as soon as he came into the ring for his shapely outline and didn't disappoint on the table. Curvy, muscular shape from any angle, good tail carriage in profile and moved true both ways. CC. 2 McCalmont's Ch Silvae Zealot. Bigger and longer overall, lovely head and neck, deep chest, good keel and ribbing, nice width of thigh and moved out freely. 3 Vine's Allfreys To Catch A Thief At Cishelvine.

PB(7, 2) 1 Vine's Cishelvine Cazadokes. Beautiful puppy, lovely head and neck, shapely, excellent shoulder and elbow placement, good keel and well ribbed back, strong loin and quarters, excelled in movement. BP. 2 Gibson's Allfreys Greta Garbo. Pushed winner hard, eyecatching profile, balanced with nice flow over withers, topline and croup, doesn't needd to carry any more weight but went soundly nevertheless. 3 Bliss' Dancindac Cherry Blossom.

JB(3) 1 Clifford's Ablebody Maybe Maybenot. Difficult class insofar as all three were differing in type, but close in quality and could easily change places. The winner has a very good head and neck, roomy thorax, not overlong with well muscled quarters, good movement, doesn't need any more weight. 2 Bellamy's Boloria's After Eight At Garjay. Litter sister to first in pgd and pgb and of similar quality and type, very neat, excellent shape and construction with nice flow from wither to croup, nicely angulated and moved out smartly. 3 Coverley's Aventine Dawn Patrol.

PGB(8, 3) 1 Rowe's Boloria Naughty But Nice. Beautifully made, looked as if she had been poured into her skin, still a junior but pushed hard in the challenge, excelled in forehand, withers and well rounded and muscled quarters and went true, fore and aft. 2 Warren's Wagsford Florance. Stylish, scopey bitch, well put together, not the flow over wither of first, but good overall conformation with good length of stride, held her outline on the move. 3 Rees &Dible's Liebling Fly Me To The Moon.

LB(4) 1 Coverley's Aventine Shaken Not Stirred. Again, little separated these three. The winner gave the best account of herself. Attractive head, good profile when stood, excellent front, not overdone in length of body, broad croup, firm hocks and free movement. 2 Dible's Lieblings End Of The Rainbow. Well made bitch, plenty of character in head and expression, deep ribs, well sprung, firm loin and broad quarters, moved with plenty of drive. 3 Rowe's Derochaise Atlantica To Boloria.

OB(6) 1 Phillips' Ch Tendrow Peaches. Very typey red, lovely expression with slight roman nose, stands dead true in front with good depth of chest and keel, correct shoulder and elbow placement, good width over loin and clean underline, nicely rounded quarters and tail set, good coat texture and temperament, excellent movement. CC and BOB. 2 Barney's Molloney On Denise For Romaunt. Feminine bitch, pretty head, nicely balanced all through, good flow of neck into wither, firm topline and nice width of quarters, well sprung ribs, correct length and free movement. RCC. 3 Pughe &Fraser's Ch Bystock Pussy Galore.
