Miniature Long Hair Dachshunds

This was my first time awarding CCs in this variety. Thank you to everyone that entered under me. I appreciated your entries. Many exhibits were lacking the true Dachshund chest which is full, oval and prominent. In many ribbing could be carried back further. Shoulder placements were variable. I was concerned about the number of dogs that were timid and unhappy about being gone over mainly, but not exclusively in the puppy classes. Having owned and shown this variety I know how much work is needed to get them ready to show and be happy on the table. Socialisation and ring craft is key. In the dog and bitch, Limit and Open classes, I was spoilt for choice.

Special Beginners Dog. 3

1 Gordon’s Allerbach’s Tiger Moth. Well proportioned head and intelligent expression on this cream boy. Good proportions, slanting shoulders, developed chest and good ribbing. Held a level top line standing and moving. Once in his stride he covered the ground well. BSB

2 May’s Hanishan Fiery Fox. Red with good head and proportions. Level top line which was better on the move than stacked. Not the chest or shoulders of 1. Ribbing could be longer. Movement not quite as positive as 1.

3 Mayson & Nichol’s Charpurdy’s The Viscount

Minor Puppy Dog 1

1 Aneke’s Saffron Devil At Dachadam. Red with good head, dark eyes and good pigment. Well proportioned body. Lost his top line at times. A little reluctant on the move.

Puppy Dog 4

1 Horbulewicz’s Czarujacy Lorcan Ufna Morda (Imp Pol) A well proportioned red dog with adequate neck and sloping shoulders. Would prefer a softer expression. Held top line stacked and on the move. Won this class on his positive movement.

2 May’s Hanishan Fiery Fox. 2nd in Special Beginners Dog.

3 Small’s Minard Darque Red For Devondax.

Junior Dog 2

Post Graduate Dog 5 (1a)

1 McCarthy’s Nagshall Dyce The Ice. JW. A well proportioned red dog that won this class on movement. Well balanced head with developed chest and sloping shoulders. Good spring of rib and length. He covered the ground well and moved positively out and back.

2 Mayson & Nichol’s Charpurdy’s The Baron. Well balanced male. Good masculine head with sufficient length of neck and ribbing. He kept a level top line standing and on the move. His movement was not quite so fluid as the winner. I would just prefer a little less coat so that his outline is shown to the full.
