Dachshund Wire – I was shocked to find some not-ideal mouths.

VD 1. Ch Royal Pepper's Vice Versa (Imp Fin) (Mrs V Phillips) - This young man was in super condition, which showed well on the move. He had a typical hound head, conical in shape with almond eyes and good furnishings. Pleasing length of neck into appropriate shoulders, ample bone to tight feet well well-sprung ribs reaching well back. Strong muscular loin and a super round rump. He powered around the ring, which earned him BV. 2. Ch Silvae Klansman (Ms C A Norman) - This boy did not have the substance of one. Masculine head with intelligent expression, enough neck into topline with clean loin. He had enough ground clearance to enable him to work, although he could be a little more positive on the move.

MPD 1. Kasalane Pietersite (Mrs K Wills) – This young man was only just 6months old and learning his trade, very raw at the moment and loose on the move. He has ample bone to develop the required muscles. Work in progress.

Excellent length of neck, good shoulders, equal length of upper arm, ribbing reaching well back, sound hind angulation. He reached out and drove from behind, covering the ground with ease. To finish the picture, he had a harsh coat. I thought he was outstanding CC BPD BD 2.
