Dachshund (Wire-Haired)

DACHSHUND - WIRE HAIRED

Vet 1, Coverley's Romanchi Choctaw, nine year old grizzle dog,  with a very dignified male head; excellent ear carriage , very good neck, shoulder and layback of iupper arm, excellent topline for his age, rather high tailset,  very strong hindquarters. Moved freely and well. Tight wiry coat 2. Tagundnacht the Rag Nymph. Feminine bitch of very nice type, at fourteen, certainly lovely for her age. Sweet feminine head. Rather forward set forequarters. Good and firm topline, nice true mover.Rather looser of the forequarters now, but overall wonderful for her age!

PD (5) 1 and best puppy Skinner's Ritterburg Surprise Parcel. Beautifully finished puppy, strong and masculine, in a larger mold.  Handsome masculine head, excellent earset and eye/expression. long but strong neck, well angulated forequarters. Firm topline, excellent tailset and hindquarters. Cleanly muscled over the front, excellent ribbing. Ground covering free mover,  still rather puppyish in rear action. 2. Allfreys to catch a Thief at Cishervine. A more short coupled dog, and nicely proportioned. Pleasant head, deeper earset , good neck and forehand, firm topline, hindquarters of more medium angulation. Moved well for a puppy. 3. Allfreys rock of Gibraltar

J (4)  1. Patton's  Sea the Stars  Lovely fourteen month old dog of excellent size and type. Most handsome head with lovely expression, very good neck, shoulder and front, cleanly muscled  and stands so well here. Firm topline, somewhat high tailset. Hindquarter angulation matching that of his front. Free powerful mover. A most promising young dog , only just out of puppy. 2. Bystock Double O'Seven at Nosinllor   not the masculinity of the winner, but a dog of lovely size and make. Nice head, good neck which could show more strength  Nice front, rather forward set, good topline, well coupled. Moved very freely, but tended to move with a high  front action here. 3. Lesandnic Sublimity

PG (4) 1. Rollinson's Bystock Double O'Seven at Nosinllor. Beaten in the previous class, this dog fourteen month old youngster settled here, front action not so high and deserved to win this class, scored  on his size and his active and free side action. 2. Ritterburg Storm Trooper, overall a lovely type, good head and neck, nicely angulated forehand, good topline, hindquarters matching front angulation. Moved well but without the freedom of winner. 3.Philisha Jack be Nimble

L ( 8) 1. Coverley's Aventine Tropic Thunder  Light grizzle, very well presented, a steady and calm temperament. Very pleasant long head, lovely eye and expression. Good front, not exaggerated in keel, Firm topline, excellent tailset. Nicely balanced quarters, and he is well coupled. Free mover, perhaps a bit high in front action. Presented in short wiry coat 2. Derochaise Mutineer Three year old, rather darker dog, in quite a close coat. Very nice dignified head and expression, good neck and front, rather stronger built here, but stands good and true. Well defined keel. Excellent firm topline, Strong hindquarters. Steady and free mover.  3. Silvae Zealot. Open (5) 1 and CC McCalmont's Silvae Paradigm.. for me this dog stood out today in the males with his beautiful outline and overall type. Lovely dignified head, strong but not very long neck, clean over the front which is well angulated. Rather deeper in body. Good firm topline, excellent tail set and strong hindquarters. A really good free mover as seen from the side. Overall this dog impressed me on his overall balance and type . Moved out very well in the challenge which secured the CC for him, I understand his third. A very worthy champion. 2. Ir. Ch. Lesandnic Larsson.  Most attractive dog in outline, but more smooth than rough coated. A lively dog, so very much a Dachshund! Pleasant  head, rather deep earset. excellent front with nicely laid back shoulder and cleanly muscled front, excellent ground clearance, which for me as a Scandinavian is very important.  Scored on his excellent topline and overall proportions. Break behind the shoulders. Free and happy mover. 3. Daybreak's Classique Cruiser.

PB (1) 1 Gibson's Allfreys Lillie Langtry. Really sweet puppy, carrying more weight than ideal today. Sweet feminine head . Nicely angulated front, prominent forechest, firm topline, good hindquarters. Nice and free side action.

JB (4) 1. Pughe & Fraser's Bystock Pussy Galore. Beautifully balanced fourteen month old bitch, I note litter sister to the winner of the Postgrad dog class. Sweet head, excellent neck,  shoulders, topline, croup and tailset. Overall a very balanced bitch, really good forequarters and matching hindquarters, for angulation. Moved really well, truly and freely. Strongly considered for higher honours. 2 Lesandniuc Sariska  Very attractive young bitch, rather lighter in colouring. Nice feminine head, good neck and nicely angulated front, good firm topline, rather longer in overall body proportions than winner. Strong hindquarters Although a very free and active mover, must be at an in between stage from a growth standpoint, as she tended to run "downhill" as seen from the side, I feel a lack of maturity at this time. 3. Molloney on Denise for Romaunt.

PGB (5) 1  Robinson's Tagundnacht the Girl. Two year old bitch., with a lovely outline, rather close coated. Very nice head of excellent planes, excellent earset. Good neck which could be longer for overall balance, nicely angulated, true front. Excellent topline, and hindquarters. Scored in her free easy side action and her excellent rear action. 2. Petal Rebecca von Tagundnacht,. Another lovely bitch, coming up to six years of age and I was not surprised to be told she is the dam of above. Very nice head, rather deeper earset. Excellent neck and forehand, not exaggerated in keel, deep in body, presented in excellent coat. Free side action. 3. Tendrow Replayed in Red.

LB (3 ) 1. Paskins' Sonic Fancy Free at Kindeace. Close coated bitch of lovely outline, three years old, so nice and mature. Very nice head, with eyes well set, clean neck, Nicely angulated forequarters and stands good and true. Rather deeper in body. Excellent line over the topline, croup and tailset, excellent hindquarters. Easy un-exaggerated and true mover. 2. Quitrutec Somehow Here at Toftwick. Very nice five year old,  lovely old-fashioned head with very nice earset, good neck, nicely angulated forehand, but legs rather old-fashioned as seen from the front, with crook. Moved truly however, when coming towards me.  Nice topline and hindquarters, nice side action and good coming and going away. Excellent coat quality. 3. Petal Rebecca von Tagundnacht. 

OB (6) Overall a wonderful class, all the bitches of very high quality and I note as I am writing this that no wonder, as all six are champions!! 1, CC and Best of Breed: Patton's Ir. Ch. Lesandnic Lily Agnes.  Three year old bitch,  for me outstanding in terms of size, outline and over all balance. I am not surprised that she is by a Swedish sire, as she is such a lovely combination of the Continental and British types. Lovely head of correct planes and proportions, eyes well placed., good neck and correct front, stands so true here. For me just the right depth of body, with good keel and underline. Excellent coupling, lovely tailset and hindquarters. Free active mover, correct as seen from all angles. Coat of excellent quality, I would probably prefer her not quite so close coated, but that is from my Swedish standpoint where a bit more coat covering the body would be more functional and protective. 2. and res CC Ch. Silvae Zest another beautiful bitch in full bloom. Very nice head, with the slightly longer muzzle which I feel denotes the American influence. Lovely proportions and outline. Very nice well angulated front with prominent keel, very true over the front, Excellent topline, somewhat higher tailset. Lovely strong hindquarters.  Moved out very freely covering the ground so well. 3. Ch. Derochaise Black Orchid.
