Come Fly with Me over Sonham
I was asked to take over from the original judge Mrs B Jones, unfortunately wasn't able to fulfil her appointment due to illness. I wish her speedy recovery, as I'm sure she would have been thrilled with these entries.
My gratitude to the two stewards, Brian Chessell and Nina Pace, they really worked hard and kept me going throughout the day. It was set to be a lovely warm day and I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment.
Although there were quite a few of the dogs which lacked presentation, dirty teeth, long nails and flat feet or down on their pasterns, soft coats in the Wires and few with incorrect bites in both breeds. This was also the last show which weighed the minis due to the RKC changes, it's very sad after all the years of dedication from exhibitors to keep to type, size and weight within the breed as per breed standard.
Some of the MS were overweight, some were larger than the breed standard which reflected in some of my placings. Overall, I had some fabulous quality dogs to judge and would like to thank you for all the lovely entries.
Wire haired dachshunds
Vet D/B (3-1) 1st Rowe - Ch Boloria's Trick or Treat JW VW, very nice bitch, won this class on movement. Nice femine head, correct bite, strong jaws. Just enough furnishings on her face and good coat texture. Lovely reach of neck, i'd like more to her front, shoulders are ok, good ribbing carried back, good sound hind quarters. 2nd Baldwin - Aventine Scotts Bluff, dog of 10yrs, he really enjoyed his day out. Not as balanced as winner, still pleasing to go over.
MPD (1) 1st Rowe - Boloria Goodnight Mr Tom very promising boy, still has a lot of time on his side. Nice head, correct bite, good expression, lovely reach of neck, still needs his shoulders to tighten in and develop his front. Good rib length, good hind quarters, he needs to settle should have a good future. BPD & BPIB
