A variety I always look forward to judging, as  you hope to find real Dachshund type and no coat to hide anything. Judged with  our new and very clear standard very much in mind, looking for a Dachshund that  was not too long or too low or overdone. In short, something that looked like  it could work all day. Whilst my BOB has her failings, she met that criteria.  Feet that could dig the right size, carrying the right amount of weight and she  is parallel going away. It may have been the carpet, but so many didn't use  their rears at all. I thought she was just a bit more together in neck and  topline than the choc pup I gave RCC to, who has a bit to do yet, but is very  well proportioned. For BOB the dog rather 'poked' whilst she went round holding  her shape. I think temperaments are much improved and I am sure this is part of  the key to boosting the popularity of Smooths. Size is also so much improved,  but so many were shown too heavy. They wobbled on the move and it made some of  them so nearly touch the floor. Having said size is better, 26lbs is the upper  limit, I feel sure my top bitches were under this. Feet I am afraid are a major  problem. The majority are bad, spreading flat feet and long nails, often  turning in because the front is so heavy are no use to a Dachshund if it is to  work. This is another area where the BOB winner beat so many. Most are too long  in loin. My big surprise was mouths. Three 'dodgy' bites and some with missing  incissors (more so in the top jaw) or some incissors so small they were just  noticeable, something to watch before it spreads. I know you can't fix  everything at once and the change in temperament is excellent, size is coming  and a bit less food would help, even more. Length, feet and hind action need to  be thought about next.

VD
(2) 1 Linacre's Caalleria Rusticana. 7 yrs old red d in  super bloom, lengthy masculine head, ears a bit low set, good neck, correct  forechest, nice deep feet, lengthy ribs but too long in loin, well made rear,  true out and back and holds a firm topline. 2 Jeffery's Rosenket Heir Apparent  At Andax ShCM. Choc d, rather out of coat and carrying a bit too much weight,  super head, lovely eyes, long neck, well laid shoulder, chest too deep and a  bit long in loin, not using his rear so well now. Sp

JD
(4) 1 Starkey's  Carpaccio Jasper From Hamoura. Correct size b/t of very good balance and type,  masculine head of length, super neck, best shoulder in class, correct depth of  chest, would like a little shorter in loin, holds outline on the move and true  out and back, very good rear, just needs to settle to the job to make up. 2  Macdonald's Bensarka Cosmopolitan. Bigger red d with a super temperament, super  head, good neck, not the shoulder and upper arm of first, well ribbed but too  long in loin, high set tail, uses his rear well. 3 Coxon's Bensarka Incognito.  Another lovely temperament on this red dog, masculine, just a bit too low and  long, very good forechest, super spring of rib, long ribcage, too much hind  angulation.

PGD
(8) Rather a difficult class to sort, somewhat mixed for  type. 1 Ellis' Tealby Red Between The Lines. Still looks rather raw, Is a very  well put together dog, super head, dark almond eyes, long neck, well laid  shoulder, better feet than many, very good rear, true out and back, needs to  fill in the middle, correct size. 2 Cox &Cobo-Pinto &Fellows' Ralines  Dark Knight. Very good size masculine dog in most super bloom, very good head,  long neck flows into topline, very well ribbed and correct ground clearance,  feet let him down and could be better coming towards, nice rear. 3 Jones'  Hampdach Who Made Who For Adnerb. Honest red d, just a bit narrow in front,  liked his neck, proportions ok, has a level topline, correct amount of hind  angulation, would like more bone, feet ok.

LD
(7, 1) 1 Cooper's Kochana's Celebration Of  Hacienda At Sontag JW (Imp USA). Although a fraction long, this d has a classy  Dachshund outline and everything flows, add correct size, good temperament and  enough ground clearance, very good head, just a bit throaty, super neck, well  laid shoulder and pretty good upper arm, well ribbed back, correct hind  angulation, uses his rear so well. RCC. 2 Norton's Matzell Man Of The Moment.  Dog of very good size and type, again he has enough leg length, super head,  dark eyes, lengthy neck, just a bit forward in front assembly and short upper  arm, well ribbed, correct hind angles and low hocks. 3 Jeffery's Carpaccio  Summer Class At Andax ShCM. Carrying a bit too much weight, has a lovely head,  his true out and back movement secured the place, less weight would improve  neck, well balanced angulation.

OD
(9) 1 MacDonald's Bensarka Phoenix Sun. He is a very  sound moving dog of correct temperament and fair size, super head, long neck,  fairly good shoulder, upper arm a bit short, holds a super topline, very good  rear, very good feet, in super bloom. CC. 2 Zubareva's Russkiy Assorti'c Zefir  (ATC AL01032RUS). Very different in type to first. I liked his size and leg  length, would like a better topline, he is a fraction long and not the rear of  first, very good head, strong neck, pretty good feet, very good underline. 3  Rawson's Rosenket Nostra Damus. Another type and lots to admire, loved his  head, would like a bit more neck and carrying a little less weight, not the  feet of those above. Has a very good topline, enough hind angulation, sound  honest dog.

GCD
(1) 1 Cavalleria Rusticana. VB(5) 1 Turner's Ch Marictur  Uptown Madam JW. Feminine bitch of correct size, super head, dark almond eyes,  lengthy neck, feet ok, well laid shoulder, well ribbed, correct rear, just a  fraction long, sound on the move, length of stride took the class. 2 Mitchell's  Dubreys Dora The Explora. Super size and very well balanced in outline,  feminine head, just lacks a bit of strength to muzzle, good neck, a tad long in  loin, holds firm topline, true out and back. 3 Hinwood's Longmel Double  Truffle. Perfect size, balanced angulation, just a bit slack in top and underlines,  feminine head, feet better than many. Sp

PB(2, 1) 1 Hunt's Carpaccio  Cognac Diamond. Spot on for size and proportions, 11 mths and has a bit of  developing to do, as to be expected, feminine head, correct length of neck,  well laid shoulder, feet can tighten, correct topline, a bit long in loin, well  sprung ribs, well bent stifle, correct length of second thigh, nice length of  stride. BP and RCC. Sp

JB
(4) 1 Hunt's Carpaccio Black Pearl. Correct size and like  her proportions, very good head, long neck, pleasing front and right amount of  forechest, well sprung ribs, a bit too long and croup is at wrong angle. Quite  good feet. 2 Macdonald's Bensarka Cheeky Vimto. Lovely head, just a bit  overdone in forechest which spoils her balance, correct ground clearance, very  good rear, just not the balance of first. 3 Furber's Dorysa Dolly Varden. Very  good size bitch, feminine head, just a bit throaty, good neck and front,  correct underline, slightly too much arch to loin.

PGB
(12, 2) 1 Meeuwesen's  Tita-Tovenaar Van De Wouwer (ATC AP01767NLD). Correct for type and proportions,  has leg without being leggy. Fairly good feet, lengthy and feminine head, dark,  almond eyes, long neck, correct rib and topline, feet fair, ok rear, neck flows  well. CC and BOB. 2 Rawson's Rosenket Queen Of Hearts. Very good bitch with  super feet, could just carry a bit less weight, long head, eye colour suits her  choc coat, super neck, well laid shoulders, well sprung ribs, could just use  her rear a bit more. 3 McNaughton's Cedavoch Eindackel Lucretia Black. Correct  size bitch who is in such hard muscle, don't care for head, enough neck, well  made front and rear, quite good in topline, feet not as good as those above.

LB
(10, 1) 1 Neeuwesen's  Tita-Tovenaar Van De Wouwer (ATC APO1767NLD). On feet, topline and hind action.  2 Tite's Rijobeau Done N Dusted. Feminine bitch who is a super shape and pretty  good feet, feminine head of length, long neck, long upper arm, tight elbows,  correct ground clearance, a tad long in loin, well made rear but goes with  hocks under her rather than driving. 3 Norton's Matzell Maid In Time. Is a very  good b, like her size and length of leg, super head, very good top and  underlines, fair front and nice feet, good rear, temperament on the day pegged  her back.

OB
(12, 2) Movement disappointing. 1 Meeuwesen's  Tita-Tovenaar Van De Wouwer (ATC APO1767NLD). 2 Higgins' Leveliss What She  Said. Earnt place on being so true out and back, which is where so many failed  here, would like a bit less weight on her, super head, good neck, well made,  bit too long in loin and not the stride of winner. 3 Macdonald's Ch/Am Ch  hampdach Classic Gold At Bensarka. Elegant bitch with lovely head, just a bit  too long in back, neat feet, super neck, shoulder well laid, short in upper arm  and looses shape on the move, nice rear.

GCB
(1) 1 Kerry's Ralines Pretty Woman At Kireton.  Choc b of very good size, feminine head, good neck, feet could be better, just  a bit long in loin and would prefer a better rear.
