Overall an excellent example of a small Dachshund. CC, BOB. MPD (1) 1 Grant’s Granhoward Edward, large framed puppy of 8 months, pleasant head, rather a round eye.

Pleasant head, rather narrow, good neck & front. Firm topline, good strong hindquarters. Chest is well ribbed back, but needs to deepen for all over balance. Very free & easy mover. BP. JD (1) 1 Howells’ Fallowmill Sydney, very nice dog of 15 months, scores on his very balanced outline. Very pleasant head, good front standing, firm in topline, somewhat high tailset.

Lovely head & expression, good neck & flow into his excellent front. Firm topline, excellent tailset & nicely angulated hindquarters. Presented in excellent coat & condition. RCC; 2 Barratini Ted Astaire at Granhoward, nice dog of 2 years, more slight in build than the winner. Nice head, good in neck & front, tends to stand under himself. Good enough in movement.

MPB (1) 1 Fulton’s Bothlyn Miss Money Penny, lovely baby of 7 months, very good to go over but a little overcome by being at a show & could have presented herself more positively. Lovely head, good front & body, good topline & hindquarters. PB (3) 1 Meredith’s Deepdax Let’s Dance, 10 months bitch, forward for her age, & very steady in character. Sweet head, good front & topline, good over her hindquarters. Scored over 2 on shorter coupling. Moved very well; 2 B Miss Money Penny; 3 Barratini Chatters.

Very good & free mover; 2 Ubu Belarus Nahla to Heleanne, another young bitch not very happy about being handled, an age thing perhaps. Rather a strong head, with deep earset. Good neck & front, good topline, hindquarters rather less angulated. YB (6,1a) 1 Shone’s Phantasia Lady, young bitch of just 14 months, who is lovely all over. Beautiful head, lovely neck so well set into her shoulders, excellent topline, tailset & hindquarters. Lovely mover, so free & powerful. I just wish that she didn’t sink down on her hindquarters, as when she stands herself she has the most beautiful outline. I just loved her!

Tends to stand high over her hindquarters; 3 Samlane Belleza. OB (7,1) 1 Russell’s Russteck I Dreamed A Dream, very beautiful in all & a most typical Dachshund. At 3 years of age is fully mature, & she moved so freely & well. Beautiful head & expression, lovely neck so well set into well set back shoulders, deep body, just the right amount of ground clearance, excellent bone & feet. Stands so well on her nicely angulated hindquarters. I later was told that she was winning her third CC after a string of Reserves.

Moved very well; 3 Drakesleat Prim N Proper for Alncroft.
