WELKS Championship Show 2013

Dachshund (Wire Haired)

Judge Mr Martin Sanders

Such a jovial lot, sporting exhibitors and hilarious  banter ring side. Thank you ladies for enlightening my day! Having been brought  up in the "Inca era" he left a lasting impression on me, difficult to find his  type and ring presence nowadays. My entry today though was pleasing with plenty  to choose from; as usual from this variety temperaments were superb!

PD (2) 1 Vine, Cishelvine Red Admiral. Quality youngster, excellent head which has  correct balance with good dentition, super eye and expression, neck ok, correct  in top line with a good underline. Liked his well angulated rear with short  strong parallel hocks. He is well off for bone with neat compact feet. Once he  decided to play ball he showed good reach and drive. Coat texture was good with  excellent presentation. Should go on and do very well. BP. 2Bubb, Teckelgarth  Leap of Faith. Another that shows promise. Masculine well proportioned head  with a keen eye and expression. Neck and front assembly good, top line and tail  set correct. Plenty of strength in bone with well padded feet. Moved out well  both ways. Another with good prospects.

JD (4)Mixed class of varying  degrees! 1 Moore, Metewand Bogen By the Sea. Eye catching individual of above  average merit. Excellent head qualities which have equal balance. Good strength  in jaw with excellent dentition. Correct in eye which gives off a melting  expression. Neck of good length with a well angulated front assembly. He has  good length in body with a correct top line and underline. He is well angulated  in the rear with short parallel hocks. Stacked, he gives of such a pleasing  outline. Moving, he is sound on the out and back, still needs to mature but  this will happen with time. One with a future! 2 Davies, Atahira Joie De Bleu.  Has plenty to admire and many attributes as the winner. Masculine well  proportioned head, excellent neck and front assembly, correct in top line which  leads to a well angulated rear. He has quality bone with neat compact feet.  Moved ok however felt he just needs to settle going away but did have a lovely  side profile on the go around. 3 McPherson & Paterson, Fransin Brasilian Tp  Panettone (Imp Ita).

PGD (2) 1 Langley & Adkins, Philisha Jack  Benimble, plenty to admires masculine well proportioned head with a strong jaw.  Excellent in eye and expression, good strength in neck with a well developed  fore chest. Level in top line with a moderate rear. He has good bone with  excellent feet. Moved out on the out and back OK. 2 Hooper, Strutting Arch at  Starhill. Fair exhibit, head ok, excellent in rib, quality bone with compact  feet, held top line on the go around but did toe in going away.

LD (2) 1  Singleton, Tendrow Drumm Crazy Jethard. All quality exhibit, excellent  proportions in head which has good strength in jaw with excellent dentition.  Correct in eye and expression, good strength in neck with a well constructed  front assembly. He is well ribbed with a good top line and underline. Excels in  bone with excellent neat feet. Liked his well angulated rear with short  parallel hocks. Moved out soundly both ways. Presented in good harsh jacket.  Unlucky today. Will have his day! 2 Gibson, Allfreys Rock of Gibralter. Another  that has plenty to admire. Head qualities correct, eye and expression  appealing, would prefer a touch more neck but is well ribbed and is sound on  the move, has a correct jacket.

OD (2) First two home, both in super  nick, splitting hairs, albeit they are somewhat different in type, both on top  of their game! 1 Lewis-Crooks, Barmand Rufus (Irl Imp). Quality exhibit all  through, excels in head which has excellent balance with a good jaw and  excellent dentition. Loved him in eye and expression. Very good length in neck  which flows into a clean well laid shoulder. Scores with his well developed  fore chest with elbows tight. Spot on top line with good ribs which lead to a  well angulated rear. Bone is of quality and feet ok. He really can motor  showing excellent reach and drive holding a super outline on the go around, top  this with first class coat and presentation, this was his day. Pleased to award  him the CC which allows him to claim his crown! Many congratulations. 2  McCalmont, Ch Silvae Zealot. Another top draw exhibit with so much to admire.  Superb in head, eye and expression. Excellent neck and shoulder, scores in  ribbing with a very good top line and tail set. He is well angulated in the  rear and has excellent bone and feet. Again another that could really move out  displaying such good reach and drive with a lovely outline on the go around. As  usual from this kennel presentation was excellent. RCC today, no disgrace. 3  Vine, Allfreys to Catch a Thief at Cishelvine.

PB (2) 1 Vine, Cishelvine  Cazadokes. A real baby with promise. Feminine well proportioned head with a  correct eye and gentle expression. Good length in neck with a decent top line.  Bone is of quality with excellent feet. On the stack she gave off a pleasing  outline once she decided to settle she displayed correct foot falls. Coat  texture is good, should do well. BPB. 2 Gibson, Allfreys Greta Garbo. Promising  baby, head eye and expression good, Forward in body with a good top line. Bone  and feet good, moved out ok. Preferred the better over all length of the  winner.

JB (2) 1 Coverley, Aventine Dawn Patrol. Quality exhibit to go  over. Feminine well balanced head with strength in jaw with good dentition.  Correct in eye with a gentle expression. Reachy neck which flows into a well  laid shoulder. Good development in fore chest with tight elbows. Has good ribs  which are carried well back. Level in top line which leads to a well angulated  rear. She has quality in her bone with neat compact feet. Moved out soundly on  the out and back and held a good profile on the go around. Coat was presented  in excellent condition. Should do well. 2 Bellamy Boloria's After Eight at  Garjay. Feminine in head with a good eye and expression. Neck is ok, has a good  firm top line, smaller in mould but is sound.

PGB (6,1a) Not an easy  class to sort out with so many pluses and minuses to consider! 1 Rees &  Dible, Fly Me to the Moon. This one ticked most of the boxes.

Moved out soundly both ways and was well presented. 2 Vine,  Cishelvine Echoes of the Sea. Has plenty to admire and in some ways similar  remarks apply to the winner. However, she would benefit from better front feet,  i.e. being tighter and needs also to settle on the move in the rear. 3  Lewis-Crooks, Black Beauty by Kormeese Creado (Pol imp).
