Midland Counties 2016 - Miniature Long Haired

Very elegant black and silver. I would like a more keen expression. Acceptable neck. Needs to develop in front. Quite pleasing topline standing, but high behind on the move. Moved acceptably from the side, but has plenty of stabilizing to do behind. Pleasing coat. JD (5, 1) 1 Ralines Royal Rebel. A very attractive black and tan dog, well balanced, deep and capacious, and still elegant. Attractive head and expression, even if still not fully mature. Well angulated in front. Pleasing neck, well set. Well angulated behind. Moved efficiently and kept his outline, but I would not like him to appear more low set than this on the move. 2 Eldmour Kango Kajali Of Dinkidudlor. Eyecatching black with a rich tan, beautiful colour. Not unlike the winner in several ways, he also carried himself very well. Not in optimal weight which caused him to become somewhat angular in outline. Attractive head. Long neck, but rather sharply set. Typical topline. Lovely coat. Very elegant and stylish on the move with pride and carriage. 3 Boris Bear At Garbosa. PGD (5) 1 Silkdown Phoenix Rising. Very elegant dog, just masculine enough. Attractive head of good length, flat skull, but is low set ears did not enhance his expression. Adequate neck and front angulation. Excellent topline. Well set and carried tail. The best mover in the class. 2 Kinchville Great Gatsby. Instantly attractive dog in his silhouette standing, but too narrow in his front. Quite pleasing head. Moderate neck. Good return of upper arm and keel. Pleasing topline. Moved very narrow in front, quite well from behind. Beautiful, well conditioned coat. 3 Nagshall Digby Mac JW. LD (7) 1 Hanluke Pure Magic. A lovely red Dachshund and an easy winner of the class. Beautiful head and expression. Good rise and set-on of neck. Could do with some more keel and still not fully developed in his front. Lovely topline and overall outline. Balanced angulate behind. Excellent coat quality. A particularly good mover, free and flowing with excellent stride and drive, at all times retaining his balance and elegance. Res CC. 2 Nagshall Justintime JW. Sable coloured dog with attractive balance. Moderate neck and front angulation. Pleasing topline. Balanced angulation in front and behind. Moved well enough, but not at all up to the winner. 3 Galrhia Twice As Nice At Ecotyne. OD (10, 1) 1 Criscan Leonel Of Urishay. High quality dog of excellent type. He is definitely long, low and level as befits the breed, but I would not want him any longer in his body than this. Very attractive, masculine head and expression. Well set ears. Pleasing forechest, very good return of upper arm. Excellent topline. Well angulated behind. Moved soundly from all angles and with purpose and propulsion. I was pleased to learn that he was made up a champion today, well done and well deserved. CC. 2 Zarcrest Frozen Assets. Well constructed, sound, powerful crème male. Strong head, could do with some more chiselling. Beautiful eyes and expression. Strong neck, moderately long, well set. Good return of upper arm. Falling off slightly too much over the croup. Still moved with enough drive and with very pleasing energy. 3 Nagshall Just Santana JW. MPB (9, 3) 1 Pearl Our Pride And Joy At Dinkidax. A truly beautiful crème bitch puppy, well constructed and well balanced. At only seven months old, she already has star quality. Beautiful head and expression. Strong neck with an attractive nape. Excellent keel. Excellent topline, well angulated behind. Awaiting her mature coat. Sound, typical mover from all angles. Best Puppy. 2 Sanmik Magic Happens To Donnadoon. Elegant, houndy crème bitch. Attractive head with quality, but a little anxious in her expression. Very good neck that she used to her advantage on the move. Moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. Not the forechest of the winner. She moved reasonably well from all angles. 3 Prisca Pride And Passion. PB (7, 1) 1 Cliffmere Levity. A very elegant bitch with a very attractive outline, to a high degree contributed by her long neck, rare in this entry. Very feminine head with pleasing proportions, attractive expression. Unusual sable crème colour. She sported a rich topcoat, but the coat was sparse underneath. Moved with style and attitude, sound coming and going. 2 Chriskim's Classical Jazz At Dolyharp. Instantly attractive dark brindle bitch who came into herself in movement. Strong bitch head, needs a stronger underjaw to match. Well angulated in front and behind. Well developed, deep and capacious body. She moved very efficiently and soundly, even if she tends to fall away too much over the croup. 3 Ecotyne Witchcraft. JB (3) 1 Eldmour Nettle Omuro At Chriskim. Elegant, feminine crème bitch, but she has substance to match. Head of excellent length and lovely quality. Long neck. Excellent forechest for her age. Firm topline. I would not want any more angulation behind Pleasing coat. Very sympathetically handled, she moved with excellent carriage and style on a loose lead. 2 Metadale Coco Chanel Of Bronia. A bitch that is particularly good to go over as she is very well constructed. Black and tan. She is still quite puppyish. I would not want her any deeper than this. Attractive head, but a little tense in her expression. Attractive forechest, pleasing topline. Normal, sound mover, but again I would not want her closer to ground. 3 Nagshall Port Alice. PGB (7, 1) 1 Nagshall Hey Kari Ann JW. A well made crème bitch, deep and substantial, still feminine. Expressive head with quality. Moderate neck, excellent forchest. Firm topline. Well angulated behind. She moved well from the side and from the front, but needs to firm up as seen from behind. 2 Devoncream Montserrat. Very elegant bitch with quality. Refined head, rather round in skull. Moderate front, pleasing over the back and loin, but tends to fall off too much over the croup. She still strode out quite well. Beautiful coat and red colour. 3 Willott Astra At Pauntley. LB (10, 1) 1 Ralines Red Bouquet For Hutzpah. Crème bitch with plenty of attitude and instantly very attractive. Elegant, feminine head with a keen, houndy expression. Moderate neck. Excellent topline. Pleasing keel. Ideal depth and very good spring of rib. Attractive coat. Standing she tended to toe out just a little, but she moved very well from all angles. Very well presented. Res CC. 2 Jumanda's Silver Slipper JW. A dappled bitch who came into her own in movement. Somewhat too round in skull for my ideal. Pleasing neck. Excellent topline. Could have some more volume in front. She moved with suppleness and energy. Beautiful, well condition coat and attractive colour. 3 Ralines The Last Word. OB (11, 1) 1 Ch/Ir Ch. Halunke Dutch Affair. Top quality, truly beautiful bitch; combining substance with elegance to an ideal degree, she is very graceful and feminine, but above all she is an outstanding mover. Beautiful head and expression. Very good, crested neck which she used to her advantage at all times both standing and moving. If nitpicking I would have preferred more keel. Excellent topline. Beautiful, well conditioned coat with a bright colour. Expertedly handled and in combination with her own animation and lovely balance, she knocked my socks off in movement; so free, supple and athletic. I was delighted to have a bitch of this quality, she was just in a class of her own. CC & BOB. 3 Barlaine's Golden Delight. Elegant, feminine bitch, she is on the refined side and could gain some more substance. Quality head. Moderate front. Firm topline. She moved very well from the side, but could be more stable in front. Pleasing coat quality. 3 Ch Abydachs Asolutely.
