Dachshund (Wire Haired)

Thank you to my two Stewards for your efficient and unobtrusive stewarding.   BCC & BOB was Seath's Hella's Ozlem at Sunsong (Imp Nor), I loved this beautiful bitch for her quality and breed type. She caught my eye immediately. She is sweetly feminine yet remains a hound, typical head properties and true expression, adequate keel and ground clearance, best of legs and feet, top-line and underline as they should be, excellent ribbing and musculature, good harsh jacket and moved truly. I was delighted to hear this was her crowning Certificate. RBCC was Phillips' Tendrow Time'N'Time Again, another lovely bitch, darker in colouring and unlucky to meet the one above today. She is also sweet and feminine and soundly put together and has a certain amount of style, attractive head, correct front assembly, smooth ribbing carried well back and well-muscled all over. She moved with drive. Preferred the head of the one above.  DCC was Phillips' Ch Wiretap Here I Am (Imp Can), masculine red dog who was the first I went over in the class and found no other male to beat him on the day, he has a particularly good coat which allowed him to be spot on for presentation, he has a prominent keel, good feet and is not over-long in body, there is adequate ground clearance and he has good overall musculature and moved correctly.  RDCC was Vine's Chiselvine Caught Out, a darker coloured hound who eventually got going to show his attributes, slightly longer in style to the first, he has a masculine head and good furnishings, is sound fore and aft with an adequate ribcage in-between, he has a harsh jacket and moved with the correct action. BP was McCalmont's Silvae Trademark, light wild boar colour, this is a charming bitch puppy of lovely breed type and much quality who looks most promising, typical head and expression, keel is  developing well, lovely ribbing and correct ground clearance, she has a lovely overall outline, moves correctly and has an outgoing temperament. 

PD (2) 1 Brown's Romanchi Neptunium Into Tepotis, darkish coloured youngster who is not as developed as the second but has good ground clearance, a typical head and whose proportions are in order. He went well. 2)Smith's Salixian Eau Rouge, red, much more mature than the one above and with a well-developed ribcage and crisp jacket, but lost out to the first on head properties and hind action.  

JD (4) 1 Adams' Wyldetarn Shoot From The Hip JW, wild boar coloured, won the class with ease, he has good breed type and is well balanced, he has a sound ribcage and adequate ground clearance, head and furnishings are attractive and he was the best mover in the class. 2 Wharton's Greyhayne Hooray Henry, darker coloured hound to the one above, a respectable and honest hound who is well enough put together. All of a piece but I just wish he would make more of himself on the move. 3 Dean's Brontillow Gallant Stuart. 

PGD (3)  1 Howe's Kissdachs Bilbao at Bramalodge, darker coloured youngster who is maturing at the correct rate, attractive head and sound forequarters which are in balance with his hindquarters allowing for a better top-line than the second, crisp jacket and has typical hind action. 2 Arthurs' Hototo's Bark At The Moon with Elderkine, another darker coloured hound of much the same style as the first, head properties are fine and he has a harsh jacket and adequate ground clearance. I preferred the layback of shoulder and top-line of the one above. 3 Pratt's Boloria's Monster Mash. 

LD (8) 1 Vine's Derochase Justified for Cishelvine, wild boar coloured mature hound who attracted at first sight, masculine but quality head, good keel and sound forequarters, well-muscled all over and of good breed type. He has a harsh coat and moved with the correct action. 2 Hinder's Aventine The King's General, another wild boar coloured mature hound with a typical head and expression, he is soundly put together with a prominent keel and good feet, he has good musculature, a correct top-line and moved with the correct action. 3 Shaw's Tendrow Moondance.

GC (1) 1 Foglia's Kentixen Abies Grandis.  

PB (3) 1 S Trademark. 2 Gibson's Allfreys Helena, wild boar colouring and another promising puppy, a little shorter in style to the one above, correct head properties and well-angled shoulder assembly, smooth ribbing and moved well. Preferred top-line and ground clearance of the one above. 3 Vine's Chiselvine Can't Catch Me.  

JB (5) 1 Pugh & Fraser's Ambiesque Ascertain at Bystock, wild boar coloured, most respectable bitch from a longer mould, good front angulation and adequate keel, sound legs and feet, long smooth ribcage and in well-muscled condition, hindquarters in balance with the forequarters and has typical movement. 2 Hornby's Derochaise Miss Dior with Jacmist, brindle and tan coloured attractive bitch who pressed hard for the top spot in the class, sweet heat and expression, sound fore and aft, smooth ribbing, moved well. Not quite the top-line of the one above.  3 Phillips'Cloudside Quintessence at Clipperdown. 

PGB (8,3) 1)Warren's Wagsford Hester, brindle, sweet bitch who is all of a piece, attractive head, elegant neckline, sound in front and rear, correct keel and good legs and feet, smooth ribcage, top-line kept while standing and on the move, harsh jacket and best mover in the class. 2 Bliss' Tobenkipt Artemis, brindle of much the same style as the one above and close up to her, she has good forequarters and ribbing, a correct coat and moved truly. Just preferred the head and hindquarters of the one above.  3 Prior Cooper's Silvae Keynote.  

LB (5,1) 1 Paterson's Ambiesque Aperitif, wild boar colouring, this is a good bitch who won the class with a wee bit to spare, she has lovely breed type and is sound in shoulders and hindquarters, correctly constructed front and keel, best of legs and feet, top-line and underline please and  she has the correct harsh jacket. She moved with the correct action. 2 Vine's Chiselvine Just An Enigma, slightly darker coloured bitch of similar make and shape to the one above, she is well constructed and has good breed type, top-line and underline are in order and she has a good ribcage carried well back. She moved well. Just preferred the head of the one above.  3 Davies' Pendyffren Miss Dolce by Atahira.
