MINIATURE LONG HAIRED May I extend my thanks to the Secretary and committee of The Midland Dachshund Club for a most enjoyable day judging the miniature longs.I had heard all the tales of how the breed was in a dreadful state so the actual experience was a delightful surprise, yes there are problems that need addressing but I am sure that genuine breeders are doing their best to rectify them. Just because we still weigh the minis there is no need for them to be so insubstantial that it seems as though a puff of wind would blow them away. Most of the exhibits were presented in a clean well groomed way, but personally I do draw the line at having to judge extra livestock. There is no excuse at all for this, especially on a pale coloured dog. Minor Puppy Dog 4 entries [1abs] 1st McCarthy’s Nagshall Mr Tambourine Man. Correct head shape on this well-made youngster. Shoulders well laid back, leading to correct topline and length of ribbing, his hindquarters match his front angulation. Moved well. 2nd Oxely’s Dinkidax Justin Credible. Pale red puppy well balanced front and hindquarters, not the free movement of first. Puppy Dog 4 entries[1abs] 1st Barnsdale’s Chriskim’s Trial Blazer. Shaded red puppy with a well shaped head and correct shoulder placement, good length of ribbing short loin and well angulated hindquarters. Moved out really well showing a clean pair of heels. 2nd McCarthy’s Nagshall Mr Tambourine Man. First in previous class. Junior Dog 5 entries [0abs] 1st Barnsdale’s Chriskim’s Trial Blazer. First in previous class. 2nd Bell’s Tolberg Super Ted. Black and cream who holds a good outline when stacked. Typical dachshund head and reasonable front assembly would like tighter elbows and longer ribbing. Not the movement of first. Post Graduate Dog 2 entries [0 abs] 1st McCarthy’s Nagshall Just Santana. Well balanced dog with correct angulation front and back. Conical dachshund head carried on good length of neck which blended into correct topline. Moved with drive round the ring.RCC. 2nd Oxley’s Dinkidax Grisham. Smaller type than first and somewhat lacking in angulation and confidence. Limit Dog 7entries [1abs] 1st Cawley and King’s Summerview Make Way For Roo Balanced dog who won this class on his good movement. Good front and length of ribbing giving a good topline and underline. 2nd Rouse’s Doujac Simply Red. Shaded red with a pleasing head. Good front assembly and length of ribbing. Good outline when stacked but not the free movement of first. Open Dog 4entries [0abs] 1st Walters’s Ch Ralines Just Ozzie Very well made compact dog, with well balanced front and rear construction. Really moves round the ring with enthusiasm. CC. 2nd Holmes’s Ch Tammera Touch of Class Different type from first and equally well constructed, moved well, preferred front movement of first coming toward me. Minor Puppy Bitch 7entries [0abs] 1st Graham’s Jadag Fancy That Well-made black and tan with correct front and length of upper arm. Ribbing extends well back with short loin and good hindquarters which for one so young she used well on the move. 2nd Edwards’s Barok Honey Bea Pleasing baby at her first show, good head held on shapely neck. Ribs carried well back, good top and underline, moving well with confidence. Puppy Bitch 4entries [2abs] 1st Young’s Willowheath Adele Classic head carried on good length of neck leading to correct front assembly. Good drive from well constructed hindquarters, topline could be stronger on the move. 2nd Johnson’s Charpurdy Just Ification. A more compact type than first with adequate angulation, would like more animation on the move. Junior Bitch 13entries [1abs] 1st Rowell’s Tolberg Tia Drop At Emmajesk Black and cream who won this strong class with ease. Good head with dark eye,well constructed front and keel carried well back,good length of ribbing and short loin connecting to well formed hindquarters.Moved out well. 2nd Lockett-Walters’s Ralines Popping Kandi Another good bitch with similar attributes to first just preferred movement of first. Post-Graduate Bitch 13 entries [0abs] 1st Kennedy’s Denkena Miss Booty Licious Well balanced bitch with a classy head,well constructed front and length of ribbing, short loin and strong hindquarters. Moved out well. RCC 2nd Welton’s Chelane Chrissell Well constructed red with similar attributes to first, just preferred the head of first. Limit Bitch 11 entries [0abs] 1st Lockett-Walters’s Ralines Diamond Cluster Won this very strong class with ease. A true dachshund in miniature.
