Dachshund (Long Haired)

MRS E A MACDONALD

JD (1) 1 Mitchell's Bronia Larenzo.  Stunning red of correct size with a beautiful head, who is very well  constructed in front with super bone and lovely tight deep padded feet. Has a  good neck which carries his head proudly and a perfect length of body with well  muscled rear. In superb coat and condition and moving soundly. CC & BOB.

PGD (3) 1 Cook & Rhodes' Abydachs Rides The Storm to Bournder. Lovely mahogany  red with a good head, neck and shoulders. Sound front and firm topline which he  held on the move. 2 Hutton's River Rumpus Through Dachalune. BT with a very  nice head which I preferred to third. Has a good forechest but is a bit short  in upper arm. Has a good length of rib and he held his topline when moving but  not striding out with any reach or drive. 3 Paskins Kindeace Jumping Jack  Flash.

LD (4) 1 Hutton's Rolo Rascal Over Dachalune ShCM. Red in good  coat and condition. Well boned and with a good forechest, depth of chest and  tight feet. Ok in ribbing and with a strong topline. Moved well going round but  hocks not quite parallel going away, which was a common fault. 2 Geeson's  Abydachs Kicks up a Storm. Dark red with a beautiful head, dark eyes and  correct expression. Was well boned and had good feet. Ribs were well sprung and  he had a well muscled rear. Moved OK in profile. Runs up a bit behind and not  as low in hock as the winner. 3 Marks' Brynalyn Royal Warrier Via Labbadax.

OD (5.2) 1 Mitchell's Ch Bronia Lotario JW. A very worthy champion of the breed.  Has a pleasing head, good depth of muzzle with strong jaws and enough reach of  neck to allow correct head carriage. He has good bone and feet, a good  forechest andspring of rib. His rear was well muscled and he moved really well  in profile and out and back. A close decision between him and his young kennel  mate for the CC. Res CC. 2 Dunbar's Bronia Fernando ShCM. Red with a very nice  head and expression, good front with well boned legs. Has a good forechest and  length of ribbing but ribs could be fuller. Excellent topline and OK rear.  Moved well but a bit close. Coat could be flatter. 3. Marks' Lyrenstan Zaragoza  At Labbdax.

JB (6.1) 1. Mitchells' Bronia Callista. Liked this young  bitch very much. She looked the part both standing and moving maintaining her  good outline at all times. Has a beautiful head, very good forehand, excellent  bone and feet , ribbing and rear angles. Has good ground clearance and is a  super mover. Res CC 2. Mitchell's Bronia Louanna At Imirika. Another very sweet  bitch with a good outline and balanced construction. Has a good head and length  of neck, good front angulation, depth of chest and a firm topline and well  muscled rear. Out of coat but nothing to hide. Moved freely. 3. McFaul's  Dachville Exotic Blend.

PGB (4) A good class 1. McFaul's Dachville  Classical Blend Gorgeous BT with a lovely conical head, good front with  prominent forechest, good ribbing and strong topline. Kept her outline on the  move with proud carriage of head and good forward reach and rear drive. In  lovely coat and condition. 2. Mitchell's Bronia Lenya. A slightly different  type but another beautiful bitch. Loved her head, good neck and shoulders with  correctly placed upper arm. Well filled in front and with good bone and feet.  Preferred the movement of the winner. 3 Paskins' Abydachs Summer Dream At  Kindeace.

LB (3) 1. Mitchell's Bronia American Liberty At Imirika. Very  good red of quality. lovely head and eye, good neck and topline. Good front and  well ribbed back. Well muscled rear and sound on the move both front and rear.  Moved freely in profile holding her outline. 2 Geeson's Abydachs Summer Lovin.  Another red with many of the winners good points. Deep in chest and with good  bone. A bit upright in pasterns and feet could be better knuckled. Moved well  in profile.3. Dunbar & McNaughton's Bronia Velveteen.

OB (3.1) 1.  McFaul's Ch/Ir Ch Dachville Special Blend. A really beautiful bitch whose black  coat was shown in gleaming condition.  Has a very good outline and a lovely feminine head. Her front is correct  and she has a good topline and rear angles. Moved with style and exhibited good  reach and drive. CC 2. McNaughton's Ch Cedavoch Mystique. BT of good  proportions with a pleasing head. She has a good front, excellent ribbing and  good rear. A shade heavy over the loin today. Has a nice flat coat but almost  too much of it as it tended to obscure her outline. Moved very well.
