MIN L/H DACHSHUNDS – V (2) 1 Johnson’s Charpury Just Iss, beautiful feminine b/t bitch with a lovely classic outline, outstanding head, a lovely expression & nice free flowing movement, looking extremely well for her age & pushed hard for BB however just prefer the open bitches topline on the move today. BV & RBB, glad to see her to go on to win BVIS; 2 Pitfield’s Andynromadax Dave of Follyfield, this dog had a lovely shape when stacked however was a little restricted in rear movement not so tight in front as the winner. PD (2) 1 Pitfield’s Follyfield Farley’s Fella, nice b/cr dog with plenty of body, well muscled & in lovely condition,  nice head, good length of rib & good shoulder angles, good front & balanced hind quarters, much more mature than 2 & prefer the bone & substance of this dog. BP, pleased to see him win RBPIS; 2 McCarthy’s Nagshall Digby Mac, cream dog with a nice outline & good rear angles, lovely head & nice topline, a touch forward placed in shoulder & could do with a touch more body substance for me.

PGD (4,1a) 1 Brook’s Lyndarlea Kenny, classic b/t dog with nice head & good shoulder angles, good spring of length of rib giving plenty of heart room, nice strong topline held well on the move, preferred the neck & head carriage of his kennelmate for RBD; 2 McCarthy’s Nagshall Wotsitalabout. OD (4) 1 Barnsdale’s Chriskim’s Trail Blazer, dark shaded red dog with a nice head & expression, put down to perfection a real show off, nice overall outline & soundly made with no exaggeration, holds a good topline on the move, BD  preferred the bitches front construction for BOB; 2 McCarthy’s Oklahoma Sunrise, cream dog with similar qualities of the first however much lower to ground feel that the first covered the ground better & has a little more reach & rear drive.

PB (4,1) 1 McCarthy’s Nagshall Hey Kari Ann, this bitch is lovely on the stack with a pretty head nice outline & good topline, well bodied & a nice size not too small however still a loose baby on the move, should improve with maturity as she is made correctly.
