Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired)

Grad D/B (3)

1 Bell’s Indiko Cast in Cream at Tolberg a very eye catching cream bitch with a well proportioned head, dark almond eye and strong jaw. She has correctly placed shoulders, which lead to a flowing topline held well on the move. Forelegs wrap neatly around the chest, good length of rib cage and just a slight rise over the loin into strong quarters. She moved out parallel both ways with free flowing stride. BOB and G4

2 McNulty’s Daniello Felix Star at Abbykiera-a young puppy making his debut. A good type, masculine head, good fore-chest, well-proportioned over the body with a correct topline and already showing a strong rump and quarters. He was very enthusiastic today on the move and with more experience his owner will have some fun. BP and PG2

3 McNulty’s Kenbloom Nix Boxwood at Abbykiera

Open D/B (3)

1 Bell’s Indiko a Touch of Cream at Tolberg JW -Black and cream and another one who draws the eye and going over her didn’t disappoint. Dark eye and correctly set ears giving a pleasing expression. Great fore-chest and correct rib cage. Moved out with enthusiasm and precision. Litter sister to the Graduate winner and lost out today as her kennel mate has chewed her coat and she was a little unsettled when stacked. Splitting hairs between them.

2 Morrin & Barbi’s Zilcan Vanilla Ice for Arlatdax JW-a 2 year old male with a masculine head, correct parallel footfall on the move with good tail carriage. He has good shoulders and held his topline well. I would like a tad longer proportion of ribcage to loin.

3 McNulty’s Unlocked Heart at Abbykiera

Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired)

Grad D/B (1)

1 Cumberland’s (C,R&J) Mummysami Beth Level of Crazy JW-correct head with a slight arch to muzzle, strong jaw and graceful well rounded ears. Very good fore-chest and strong breastbone. Strong quarters with well angulated lower thigh. Holds her topline well on the move but on the stack drops a little in front reducing ground clearance.

Open D/B (2)

1 Cumberland’s (C) Mumysami So What-two litters sisters in this class, both in excellent condition with good clean dentition. This exhibit pleased me for overall shape and proportions with a strong fore-chest and long ribcage and short loin. Strong muscular neck and well laid shoulder. Balanced front and aft and drove around with parallel movement. A little strong willed on the move but handled with empathy to BOB

2 Cumberland’s (R&J) Mumysami So Distinct-Good head graceful ears, and long muscular neck. A strong forechest and well ribbed back. Strong quarters and tail held correctly on the move. Overall longer cast than her sister and moving a little wider behind than in front today.
