DACHSHUND - MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED

I would  like to thank the Crufts committee for allowing me the honour of judging at  Crufts 2012, also a huge thank you to the exhibitors for the fantastic entry  they gave me, I really enjoyed my day and felt very welcome by the exhibitors,  although obviously you cannot please everyone when you judge. I would hope that  you would be able to see that my placings were honest, and as I saw the dogs on  the day. I consider this the only way to judge. I would like to mention that  after I had finished judging, my hands were filthy. For this there is no  excuse, all exhibits should be clean and well presented.

VD
(5) 1 Moores'  Danvichar Bergamont ShCM. Brindle boy coming up to 8, who carries his years  well. I see is sired by a Dalegarth dog, a kennel that I always admired, he has  a lovely head with the correct shaped eye and well angulated shoulders, he was  the best mover in the class covering the ground well. 2 Glues' Brindeckel  Furrari. Another boy enjoying his day out who will also be 8 later this year.  Today he had to give way to movement of first. 3 Banks &Douglas' Torabbi  Welsh Malt ShCM. 11 year old who had to give way to age today.

Sp PD
(6)  1 Presnail's Taree Selwyn. Brindle little lad who has a lot to like and is  typical of the type that comes from this kennel. Lovely hound head, neat  shoulders, nicely angulated quarters, fair length of top ribbing although to be  critical, would prefer a longer underrib, moved ok although did tend to pull  away from his owner, which could give the impression of moving wide behind, but  he doesn't when he moves straight. 2 Billinghurst's Jiljac Tsar Very Much. Only  a youngster and has plenty of time on his side, needs time to settle in his  front movement but has a good outline in profile, his shoulders are well set  with good forechest, fair length of ribbing, he did tend to stand cow hocked so  this does need watching when you set him up. 3 Neates' Beaucat Chedda George.  Youngster who today didn't move well, front or back, this could just be the  atmosphere of the NEC, he is only young and things can change.

Sp JD
(5)  1 Fulton's Bothlyn Brigadoon. Brindle youngster who caught my eye on entering  the ring, he is quality all through from his head and correctly shaped eye,  lovely top and underline, excellent forechest, lacking in so many today, well  angulated quarters with a hammy back end, add to this true movement both front  and back, you have a very promising prospect for the future of the breed. Res  CC. 2 Kennel's Drakesleat Round Robin. Another promising young boy who has  plenty to admire, his movement in profile is excellent with no tummy tapping,  which seems to be creeping more and more into the breed and is not befitting in  a hound, excellent sweep of keel, good length of upper arm, well angulated  behind, just unlucky to come up against Brigadoon. 3 Jones' Bimini King Of  Swing. Brindle with lovely wire coat, nice type but today he was moving very  wide behind.

YD
(5) 1 Hardy's Kushwin Incognito. Another young man who I  really liked and pushed hard for top honours, hopefully his day will come, he  has the best of heads, correct eye, adequate length of top and under rib, well  rounded, angulated quarters, neat shoulder placement with good forechest, moved  freely. 2 Stephenson's Moloney Oh Oh Seven Von Wistex. Young man who has  qualities to admire, he has a good length of top rib but is slightly short of  under rib, well placed shoulders, nice round quarters, moved well at the front  although behind tended to pin in. 3 Hunt's His Terricle. Completed the trio of  young lads. Enjoying his day out but today could not match above on profile  movement.

PGD
(15) 1 Fulton's Bothlyn Brigadoon. 2 Hassall's Stargang  Vegas Strip. Quality boy who was unlucky to come up against Brigadoon. He has a  lovely sweep of keel with excellent shoulder placement, correct head and well  shaped eye, today just could not match the back movement. 3 Waldies Bothlyn  Symphony At Purslane. Litter brother to Brigadoon, and has many of the same  attributes, he has true movement front and back when he moves straight, but he  tended to pull to the side which gives the impression of pinning in at the  rear.

LD
(10) 1 McDowell, Ernest &Blanche's Waldmeister Charlie Brown  At Aristodax. I liked this boy very much and was in the running for top  honours. His turn will come, he is very well constructed, good forechest,  lovely head and reach of neck, well laid shoulders, correct length of top  ribbing, although, to be critical, would prefer a slightly longer under rib,  moved freely front and back. 2 Kugow &Holt's Waldmeister Samuel JW. Has the  same sire as above, who obviously produces a strong type, he too has lots to  admire, attractive boy with plenty of length, excellent head and eye, correct  shoulder placement, moved well. 3 Adams' Angelholms Figaro. Completed a nice  trio of boys, very nice outline standing, just lost out on back movement which  was very wide today. Nevertheless a quality exhibit.

OD(11) 1 Calupa's  Alpheratz Donrodrigo. I thought this boy quite outstanding, I loved him as soon  as he entered the ring I was drawn to him for his sheer quality from top to  tail, he has a gorgeous head and eye, very well placed shoulders, so neat in  front, excellent top and underline, well rounded hammy back end, best of coats,  presented to perfection, add to this absolutely true hound free movement and  you have a lovely dog. I was delighted to award him CC. 2 Black's Bassondon  Bilbie. Different type to above, however, he has a lovely reach of neck into  fairly well angulated shoulders, could do with longer ribbing, nicely muscled  back end which he used to his advantage on the move, well presented. 3 Howells'  Ch Fallowmill Back And Fetch. Worthy champion, not his day today, for me he  lacks length of rib.

GCD
(3) 1 Puckett's Foxearth Free As A Bird. 2 Banks  &Douglas' Torabbi Welsh Malt. 3 Baxter's Hotwire Didja Ever.

VB
(4) 1  Oram's Janjac Moschino At Rosswell. 8 year old enjoying her day out, she won  this class today on her better movement than the two below her, although she  could do with a shade more weight on her. 2 Miller's Pulsuz Dream Time. Another  8 year old, well presented coat, nice head and eye, just did not move well  today, enjoyed her day though. 3 Neates' Custardcream At Beaucat. 8 years old,  sweet little girl but today she looked like she would sooner be at home in bed!

Sp PB
(12) 1 Dance's Enem Candy Sunshine. Feminine young lady, neat and  compact, charming head and eye, good forechest, topline and underline, nicely  angulated quarters, good feet, presented very well, moved true front and back,  should have a promising future. BP. 2 Blackburn Bennett's Stargang Czarina. Red  young lady who has lots of qualities to see, she has the sweetest of heads with  the correct shaped eye, lovely top and underline with ample top and under rib,  excellent sweep of keel, good, well presented wire coat, she moved very well in  front but today she seemed to be pinning in behind, which lost her the class. 3  Rees &Jones' Hanishan Eau Symfonique At Kierpark. Completed a good trio of  young ladies, nice shaped bitch who needs a little more time to mature on then  she will trouble the best.

Sp JB
(6) 1 Bustas' Irma La Douce Vitoraz.  Quality brindle lady, good head, neck and front, excellent layback of shoulder,  fair length of ribbing, adequate hind angulation, moved true front and back,  should have a promising future. 2 Lancaster &Miller's Pellismer Deals A  Winner. Another promising youngster, unlucky to meet first today for she has  lots to like, lovely shoulder angulation, good reach of forechest, well  angulated back end, excellent front movement, just lost out today on back  movement which was turning in. 3 Baxter's Hotwire All Shook Up. Very nice  bitch, well presented, needs a little more time to come to her potential.

YB
(11)  1 Morrison's Stargang Dusky Maiden To Benzden. Liked this brindle girl for her  sheer quality, feminine with excellent forechest, good reach of neck into well  laid shoulders, nice length of top and under rib, carried herself well on the  move and was true front and back. Was considered for the Res CC, only just  pipped to the post by Lady Gaga. 2 Marton-Teal's Lordscairnie Love Life.  Delightful girl who handled very well, nice coat well presented, good head and  eye, little short in upper arm for me, otherwise she presented a good picture  both standing and on the move. 3 Barney's Verrami Domestic Goddess. Standing  this lady gives a good outline, on going over I would prefer longer length of  both top and under rib, she has well angulated quarters and a strong back end,  moved fairly well.

PGB
(16) 1 McLeod &Hassall's Janjac Mac Zeen.  Loved this lady for her true Dachshund type, pleasing in head, neck and  topline, deep body with ribs reaching far back, good shoulder lines, moved with  purpose and perfectly true front and back. 2 Fulton's Bothlyn Wild Rose. Same  mum as Brigadoon and has many of his attributes, she has a lovely, well  presented coat with excellent shoulder placement and reach of forechest, ample  length of ribbing, well muscled quarters used very well on the move, her  profile movement is quite eyecatching and she is true front and back. 3  Blackburn-Bennett's Stargang Fudge Cake. Another nice one from this kennel,  however, today she pinned in at the front and was not quite true behind, this  can change on another day.

LB
(11) 1 Harker & Hatzikatis Hadoka Tula  Sparkle. Very sound exhibit, well constructed, nicely balanced throughout, good  head and well shaped eye, excellent reach of neck, running into well placed  angulated shoulders, nice length of top and under rib, hammy back end, used to  advantage on the move, which was very true and free front and back. 2  Meredith's Deepdax Credit Crunch. Well balanced, good depth of keel, well let  down hock, moved well in front, just pulled out in back movement today,  otherwise a quality exhibit. 3 Price's Samlane Zaffiro. Attractive brindle,  good length and depth of body, just preferred the hind angulation of the two  above.

OB
(16) 1 Wright's Ch Drakesleat Miss Wisteria. Left no doubt in  my mind, she was the winner as soon as she entered the ring, what a little  cracker she is, tremendous quality and soundness, exquisite head on reachy  neck, deep, long ribcage reaching far back, well angulated shoulders, excellent  hammy quarters with well let down hocks, standing all four square, her profile  movement is a dream and front to back she is very sound, presented well by her  new owner. I wish him all the best in the States with her , sure they will love  her too. I was delighted to award her CC and BOB. Well done. 2  Blackburn-Bennett's Ch Stargang Lady Gaga. Another lovely lady who had a change  of handler, not sure why, but she obviously benefitted from this. She is very  feminine, neat and compact, charming head and eye, excellent layback of rib,  well angulated quarters, hammy all square back end, very sound on the move  front and back, unlucky to meet the above today, was pushed all the way by the  yearling winner but pleased to award her Res CC. 3 Fulton's Ch Bothlyn Penny  Black. A very worthy champion, just finished with a litter and all credit to  her owner for getting her back in time for Crufts, she has many outstanding  virtues to admire, just beaten by two lovely bitches today.

(2) 1  Miles' Runnrange Ophelia With Jaybiem. 2 Baxter's Hotwire Magic Midge.
