Dachshunds, Long-haired Belfast 2024

Puppy Dog (1)

1. Cedavoch Circeo

A seven months old dog who has already come a long way. Masculine, well-shaped head, needs to dry out in his lips with maturity. Beautiful eye and expression. Excellent keel. Firm topline. Deep and capacious body. A very good mover, especially from the side and from behind and reasonable from the front. Excellent coat. A very promising youngster.

Junior Dog (1)

1. Breezelyn Long Way To Go to Loggeta

Very attractive young dog, strong and masculine without lumber. Masculine head, could do with some less stop. Beautiful neck, long and well set. Excellent keel and topline and optimal ground clearance. Very well angulated behind. Not at all overcoated with an excellent coat structure. A really good mover, at all times carrying himself proudly and effortlessly and with optimal balance, and this won him the CC

Limit Dog (1)

1. Cedavoch Dark Magic

Strong and masculine black and tan dog. Attractive head and expression. Rather steep in shoulder. Firm topline. Normal angulation behind. Overcoated for my preference, but with pleasing coat structure. Quite restricted in his front movement.

Open Dog (2)

1. Ch. Abydachs Return of the Night

A dog with a lot of quality about him. Excellent head. Dark eyes. Long and well set neck. Balanced angulation both ends. Excellent keel. Strong topline and not overly long in body. Well set tail. He has plenty of coat of excellent structure, I would not want any more of it. Sound and efficient mover, but could show more animation on the move and use his tail more actively. resCC

2. Ch. Loggeta Trouble in Texas ShCEx

Strong, masculine and muscular dog, well constructed, but without the elegance of the winner. Strong head, excellent keen expression. Strong neck, but tends to be bulky over the shoulders. Very good bone. Attractive topline. A very attractive mover, strong and energetic.

Veteran Dog (1)

1. Ranglewood Lantana at Kejana

Nine and a half year old black and tan dog. Strong head, could do with less width and roundness of skull and needs a stronger underjaw. Moderate neck, pleasing keel. Strong topline, if not the most shapely. Moderate angulation behind. Plenty of coat. A sound mover coming and going.

Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Cadavoch Just An Illusion

A very attractive puppy. Well balanced, strong, yet feminine. Typical head of medium length. Strong neck, a bit sharply set, moderate layback of shoulder. Very well developed in body and keel. Excellent topline, well set tail. A sound and functional mover. Best Puppy

Limit Bitch (1)

1. Abydachs Hot Patootie JW

Feminine bitch. Refined head. Dark eyes. Well set and carried ears. Moderate angulation in front and moderately developed in her keel. Pleasing body length, not overly long. Beautiful coat. A bit tense in her temperament, she still moved quite well from all angles.

Open Bitch (4)

1. Ch. Cavallibrook Final Fling Bronia

A very well constructed bitch, the star of the day, she appealed a lot with her proportions and outline. Strong head for a bitch. Excellent front, including neck, neck-set, shoulder, upper arm and keel. Excellent topline and tailset. Excellent structure, quality and amount of coat. A sound, functional, well balaned and purposeful mover from all angles. CC & BOB

2. Ir.Ch. Cavallibrook Final Tango with Ryhars

Another top quality bitch, very attractive and in several ways similar to the winner and turning out to be her full sister. I preferred her more feminine and more elegant head, but she does not have quite the shoulders and the overall front assembly of the winner, still more than reasonable. Excellent topline. Well angulated behind. She moved very well from the side with plenty of energy and animation. Lovely coat. Well handled. resCC
