Dachshund Club Of Wales

DACHSHUND CLUB OF WALES

27TH SEPTEMBER 2026

Thank you for the invite to judge BIS and the miniature Dachshunds at your very welcoming show.

Thanks also to my wonderful stewards and the exhibitors for their entries. Such a shame two other Dachshund breed shows were also taking place today.

MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED 

Class 3 Post grad dog or bitch 

1st Roses Rozamie Reflection of Rosencrantz jw 

17-month-old bitch who was ok for size and had the harshest of coats. She was moderately long with good ground clearance. Excellent length of ribs, on the move she was sound and free flowing moving parallel. Feminine head, strong jaws and the best of almond shaped eyes, I liked her very much BOB 

Class 4 Limit dog or bitch 

1st Roses Merryline Martha with Rosencrantz jw 2-year-old bitch. Another well-turned-out exhibit from this owner, and another who showed extremely well. I preferred her size over her kennel mate, but she couldn’t match her on the move, thought she was slightly carrying a little too much body condition today. RBOB  

MINIATURE LONG HAIRED

Class 6 Puppy dog or bitch 

2 lovely bitch puppies at different stages of development 

1st Stevens Crownlake Dream Weaver on Sidburyhill 

11-month-old ultra feminine bitch puppy, whom I liked very much. Afterwards looking at her breeding I can see why!! Her grandmother I have placed highly in the past. Well balanced puppy. with lovely rear angulation and superb ribs. Classic outline on the stack, and such a sound free mover. BOB, BP and RBPIS 

2nd Cox Cheritondax Riesling 

9-month-old cream baby who at the moment is very raw and just needs time. Very pretty with the darkest of almond eyes. Perfect size and good length and ground clearance, not as forward in development as 1st or as free on the move, just lacking in a bit of confidence and rear drive.

Class 8 Post Graduate dog or bitch 

1st Turtons Cornwalldaxs Midnight Star 

Masculine shaded cream male presented in lovely condition. Loved his handsome head with the darkest of almond eyes. Really went well on the move with a very happy disposition. Moderately long with plenty of ground clearance. RBOB

MINIATURE SMOOTH HAIRED 

Class 11 Puppy dog or bitch 

1st Ergis Siouxline Trojan 

Super quality brindle male of 11 months, with the most appealing masculine houndy head. A well-established show man, handled well to show off his many attributes. Loved his clean neck and correct shoulders, super prosternum, moved out well with drive, just felt he needs to tighten up coming towards, which held him back today from higher honours. BP and RBOB

2ND Corfields Aria Moon over Maurfield imp ITA 

6 Months old extremely outgoing bitch puppy, who really made me smile with her enthusiasm, so lovely to see her enjoying her time in the ring. Very pretty head with dark almond eye, tail carriage needs to settle.

Class 12 Junior dog or bitch 

1st Ergis Siouxline Trinity 

Feminine 11-month-old red brindle bitch puppy, litter sister to previous class winner, at this stage of development she is not as forward as her brother, but time is on her side. Loved her for size and build and very correct front. Preferred her brother’s rear angulation. 

Class 13 post graduate Dog or bitch 

1s Corfields Maurfield Aphrodite 

17-month-old mature bitch, who has the loveliest outline when stacked, she has an excellent keel and topline. Unfortunately, on the move she just tends to toe in behind.

Class 14 Limit dog or bitch 

1st Smalls Glynlythes Heirloom for Devondax jw

Quality red bitch who is very feminine and balanced throughout. On the stack she presents a beautiful outline with prominent keel and level topline. Shame today she was carrying too much body condition.

 2nd Somertons Rijobeau Pandora Boxx 

Pretty black and tan bitch eye a little too round, nicely conditioned with gleaming coat. Good bite. excellent front but lacks rear angulation to match

Class 15 Open dog or bitch 

1st Ergis Siouxline Elsa Marie 

Stunning young black and tan bitch whom I rate highly. The most beautiful outline on the stack and super sound on the move. Really good head with dark almond eyes but that cheeky glint that only a dachshund can have. Moderately long with ribs extending well back BOB and RBIS 

Class 31 Veteran dog or bitch 

1st Starks Ch Adnerbs won vision of Gobannium JW (OSW) VW 

Super quality red smooth bitch, so balanced and sound. Not showing her age at all presented in fit condition a pleasure to go over. Immaculate front with exceptional prominent breastbone. Loved her length of rib and strong topline. A worthy champion thank you for the opportunity of going over a bitch of outstanding merit. Just lost out for top honours, but an easy BVIS 

2nd Roses Pennydach Mystique at Rosencrantz VW 

Another feminine mini smooth bitch, with a beautiful head and expression. Lost out to first as not as good in front construction and rising a little in topline. Moved well with plenty of rear drive. 

Best in show – Was the quality long haired, young shaded red bitch Lewis Trixhund Madness jw caught my eye as she entered the ring and did not disappoint on further inspection. She was in super fit condition with rock hard muscles on the rear, sadly this was lacking in many exhibits today. She has the most beautiful head and expression leading to strong neck and excellent shoulders. Moved with such reach and drive a real pleasure to watch. I understand she has 2ccs and I wish her well, and hopefully soon will wear her crown, I will watch her future career with interest. 

Reserve Best in Show - Ergis Siouxline Elsa Marie mini smooth

 Best Puppy in show- was again another quality long haired bitch puppy, from the same kennel as BIS – Lewis Trixhund Crystal Royale, wow this silver dapple stormed into the ring as if she owned it !! and she did. Mature and already an established showgirl. I couldn’t take my eyes off her a real stunning puppy. Another with excellent muscle definition and so sound on the move if a little exuberant at times. So lovely to see her enjoying her day, as puppies should. Congratulations to her owners/breeders on a successful day and many more to come I feel, loved her.
