Best of Breed	Best Puppy

I would like to thank the committee for asking me to judge the Min L/h Dachshunds at their open show it was a pleasure & a privilege. Also to the exhibitors I thank you for your entries. The welcome & hospitality I received was first class.

MIN L/H DACHSHUNDS – The dachshunds that I assessed today were some of the best in this coat that I have gone over. There were still dogs short in ribbing & long in the loin. A few out at their elbows. Heads were a bit plain with a few round eyes. All dogs kept a level topline & most of them had sound parallel movement.  There were no dirty teeth & all were in good condition. A pleasure to go over well kept dogs.

V 1 Johnton’s Ch Charpurdy Just Iss, b/t bitch of 9 years looking in excellent condition for her age. She has a good head shape & eye. Strong arched neck & well laid shoulders. Prominent keel enough ribbing but perhaps a bit long in the loin. Good ground clearance, she moved true coming & going & kept a level topline while she moved freely around the ring. She was a bit reluctant in the challenge for BOB. PD 1 Rothchild’s Lyndarlea Urnbroo, cream dog of the correct size. He has a good head, dark eye & strong teeth. Prominent keel though short in ribbing & long in the loin. He moved well viewed from the rear but a bit erratic coming towards me. He has the promise of a good coat. RBD, BPD; 2 Broad’s Eldmour Sea Lord Of Dinkidudlor, red dog of 10 months. Different type to one, much rangier & needs to fill out a bit more. He is short in ribbing & long in the loin. His coat was in beautiful condition & is of the correct texture. OD Broad’s Neertanauf Sea Magic, 6 year old shaded red in good condition. Pleasing head & eye strong neck running into a level topline. His outline is good & he is furnished with a presentable coat. Unfortunately like a few others he is out at elbow & I would prefer tighter feet. He kept his topline on the move. BD.

PB 1 Higgins’ Ralines Royal Reggata at Leveliss, 9 month old cream bitch of beautiful type. A bit on the tubby side at the moment, but everything in the right place. She has a well shaped head & dark eye & the promise of a good coat. She moved around the ring well on tidy tight feet. BP; 2 Johnson’s Chapurdy’s Gold McEve, 10 month old red bitch. Still a raw baby with rather a plain head and round eye. She has good big feet that need to tighten up & her pasterns need to strengthen. Her coat is coming in nicely. She was a bit apprehensive today. PGB 1 Johnson’s Dandydayo Silent Nite at Charpurdy, this red bitch looked well when stacked. She has a prominent keel though her sternum should go further back to give her a longer rib cage. She carried herself well around the ring & her coat is in good condition. LB 1 Johnson’s Charpurdy Just Ification, 3 year old b/t bitch. I liked this bitch & thought she was my winner. She looks good stacked very well proportioned. She has a correct shaped head, good strong arched neck, prominent keel, well laid shoulders & level topline.  A happy little person on the move & all finished off with a good coat. RBB, RBOB. OB 1 Johnson’s Charpurdy Just Willow, litter sister to the limit bitch. She was very pleasing while stacked. She has a well shaped head but would prefer a more almond shaped eye. Her neck flows well into her shoulder & her topline is level. Her keel is prominent & she has a good underline. Good sized tight feet & enough coat with attractive markings. A very pretty bitch.  BB, BOB.
