Dachshund (Min Smooth-Haired) 

Puppy Dog 

Entries: 5 Absentees: 1 

1ST 353 - Marvale Royal Salute at Helydon (Misses A & A Kirkwood-Emery) Very nicely constructed 11 month old who still has some maturing to do but should finish very nicely. Lovely reach of neck and head carriage, good topline and underline, well angulated fore and aft, good chest and ribbing for age. Handsome head with dark eyes and strong jaw. Moved very smartly with a good length of stride, holding his outline firm. I had no hesitation in awarding him the RCC in this entry and later just had the edge over the lovely bitch puppy for BP, ending the day taking Puppy Group 4. 

2ND 342 - Bronia Despacito (Mrs F Hanney-Mitchell). Another nice youngster with much to like. Not quite as settled as 1 and quite a bit younger so gave away a lot in maturity. Compact and correctly balanced in outline with firm topline and well angulated rear. Good chest and ribbing, enough clearance, good bone and feet. Lovely head and expression. Moved well and presented in immaculate condition.

1ST 339 - Normpug Roman Holiday JW (Mrs I Forge) Almost 3 yrs old, good for size and substance with nice topline and underline, well ribbed back with enough clearance beneath, strong loin and well angulated rear. Pleasing head with dark eyes, well set and used ears and strong jaw. Moved soundly, could be a little stronger behind. 

Open Dog

1ST 349 - Jenivon's Starfinch (Mrs J Jennings) One that had impressed me previously and my opinion hadn’t changed. Lovely for size and balance, small and compact with ample reach of neck allowing for typical head carriage, topline firm, good underline and clearance, well ribbed back to strong loin, good angulation both ends, strong bone and good feet. Lovely head of good length with strong jaw, dark eyes and well set and used ears. Very nice on the move covering the ground with ease, good out and back and displaying plenty of reach and drive in profile. Delighted to award him the CC.  

2ND 357 - Ch Teckeltown Surspicious Mind (Miss A Mason) 3yr dog who has much to admire and no surprise to see he has his title. Nice size and substance, strong bone and good feet. Firm topline, good angulation both ends, a touch longer than 1 with good clearance and strong, parallel rear. Masculine head with intelligent expression. Moved well maintaining his outline in profile and covering the ground with a good length of stride. 

3RD 364 - Bronia Gabriel for Wakywilks JW (Miss C & Mr A Wilkinson & Wakeham) 

 Puppy Bitch 

Entries: 6 Absentees: 1 

1ST 359 - Teckeltowns Power of Love (Miss A Mason) An easy winner here and no doubt a future champion. Nicely balanced outline with super neck and shoulders, firm topline, well angulated rear, good underline and clearance, in well muscled condition and handled to an advantage. Correctly shaped head of good length and balance, dark almond shaped eyes and strong jaw. Carried herself so well around the ring with firm outline, head high, very good out and back. In gleaming coat and condition. BPB. 

2ND 355 - Marvale Royal Procession at Alpezia (Miss A Lowood-Price) Not always standing to an advantage but outmoved the rest to take this place. Outline of good proportions with good clearance, not the forechest of 1, balanced front and rear angulation, good bone and feet. Pleasing head and expression. 

3RD 362 - Atikan Merry Midge (Mrs N & Mr K O’hare Wilson & Wilson) 

Junior Bitch 

Entries: 5 Absentees: 1 

1ST 330 - D'arisca Fascinating Rythm (Mrs L Coxon) Just 12 months old and a little unsettled but did enough to top this class. Compact and unexaggerated, presenting a well balanced outline with enough neck, good length of ribbing, short loin, good topline and underline with enough clearance beneath. Feminine head with nice eyes and well set and used ears. Moved with a good length of stride. 

2ND 348 - Jenivon’s Secret Wish (Mrs J Jennings) Appealed for size and substance with good chest and ribbing, short loin, firm topline, good reach of neck and head carriage. Head of good length and proportions with dark eyes and strong jaw. Moved well but unfortunately a change of handler unsettled her, could strengthen behind.  

3RD 322 - Jenivon Jewel at Wenichones (Mrs D & Mr L & Mr M Bain) 

 Post Graduate Bitch 

Entries: 7 Absentees: 1 

1ST 366 - Wakywilks Vitoria (Miss C & Mr A Wilkinson & Wakeham) 16 months old with pleasing outline, better for neck and rear assembly than 2, nice forechest and length of ribbing, good topline and underline with plenty clearance, strong rear, good bone and feet. Lovely head and expression, dark eyes, correct length of muzzle with neat lips and strong jaw. Moved very well in all directions, accurate with a good length of stride and firm outline.  

2ND 360 - Atikan Give Them Merry Hell (Mrs N & Mr K O’hare Wilson & Wilson) Close up to 1 and again a smart mover with good carriage and good length of stride. Compact and well muscled, well ribbed back to strong loin, level topline, could just have a fraction more neck. Well proportioned head of good length, well set and used ears and intelligent expression.  

3RD 324 - Marvale’s Austerlitz at Lowoods (Miss Barr) 

Limit Bitch 

Entries: 5     

1ST 356 - Marvale Crimson Sunbird at Teckeltown (Miss A Mason) Very impressive 2yr old with super neck and shoulders, well developed forechest, good ribbing, short, strong loin and well angulated rear. Handled to an advantage to really show off her well balanced outline with super topline and underline, plenty of clearance, well muscled and compact with good bone and feet. Beautiful head and expression, correct for balance with strong jaw, correctly placed dark eyes, high set mobile ears and typical defiant head carriage. Moved freely with a super length of stride, plenty of drive, accurate out and back with head high, topline firm and tail carried correctly. I thought she was beautiful. CC & BOB, I heard later this gave her her crown, congratulations! 

2ND 352 - Marvale Rosefinch at Helydon (Misses A & A Kirkwood-Emery) Another very nice one who was so similar to 1 in every department it was hard to split them. Again a super outline of correct balance, compact and well muscled in gleaming condition and handled by another talented young handler. Long arched neck into good shoulders, super chest and ribbing, firm topline and good underline, plenty of clearance and well angulated rear. Feminine head of good length with intelligent expression. Moved effortlessly around the ring holding her outline firm. 1 just had the edge in front assembly and was a little better going away but I really was splitting hairs and had no hesitation in calling her back to award her the RCC. I found out later that they are actually litter sister and they certainly are very similar! 

3RD 365 - Bronia Mireille (Miss C & Mr A Wilkinson & Wakeham)

1ST 358 - Teckeltown The Show Girl (Miss A Mason) Another from this kennel in superb condition with a lovely temperament. Well proportioned in outline with good reach of neck, well angulated fore and aft, good ribbing, strong loin and broad rear. Correctly shaped head of good length with strong jaw, dark eyes and high set ears. Moved with purpose, covering the ground well and holding her head high and outline firm. Would happily have signed a green card for her but she was just pipped to the post by her kennel mate and sister!  

2ND 354 - Melriding Silver Spangle (Misses A & A Kirkwood-Emery) Lovely for size and shape with super chest and ribbing, well angulated both ends, good bone and feet, firm topline and well set and carried tail. Pretty head of good proportions, strong jaw, nice eyes and well set and used ears. Smart and accurate on the move with good carriage. Just could carry a touch more weight.

Veteran Bitch

1ST 332 - Ch Sundsdal's Black Cadillac to D'arisca (Mrs L Coxon) 7yrs old and although standing alone her quality was obvious and she was still a contender for the top awards. Presented in super condition, gleaming coat and well muscled throughout. Compact, well balanced outline with firm topline, enough neck, good chest and ribbing, short loin and broad, well angulated rear. Pretty, feminine head with dark eyes and well set, mobile ears.

Bold head carriage on arched neck of good length, decent forechest, good ribbing, moved soundly carrying herself with confidence around the ring and holding her outline well. Correctly shaped head with well balanced length of muzzle, strong jaw and well set and used ears. Best Special Beginner. 

2ND 347 - Debiandaxies Derry Girl JW (Mrs D Holmes) Soundly constructed although could have a touch more neck for balance, good topline and underline, short loin and well angulated rear. Pleasing head of good proportions with intelligent expression. Moved soundly but seemed to lose interest on the final circuit and wasn’t giving her all on the move.

Good Citizen Dog Scheme Bitch

1ST 345 - Winterfield’s June of Arabia (Mrs R & Miss S J Herald) Won this class on her more positive and purposeful action on the move.
