Ryan's Pedigree

Hmmm...Ryan's nicknames are usually "Ryner" or "Cryin' Ryan" for the way she 'yodels' when she is excited or she wants something.  She can also be a bit of a baby dog and is not nearly as stoic as Evie. She hates rats and earned her first Junior Earthdog leg just shy of her 1st birthday.

Here is Ryan winning her first BOV (over 5 specials, no less!) under respected breeder judge Adrian Woodfork...she's only 14 months old in this picture!

We are very, very pleased with this little girl. She moves like an absolute dream, she has a very pretty, sassy temperament and she hates critters! My favorite combination! She finished easily with 4 majors in only 9 days of showing.  She has a lot of physical maturing to do, but the older she gets, the more we are pleased with her conformation (see her progression below).  Ryan has a gorgeous, harsh, double wire coat, a very pretty head and eye and a beautiful shoulder angle.  Lovely, lovely length of neck into withers.  Her feet are perfect and tight and she has pretty, short little hocks. Her shoulder assembly should be set a bit further back, but her set is acceptable...this gives her the illusion of being short of forechest, but she is seriously "growing" forechest as she matures.  She also needs more length of stifle and a wee more length of upper arm, but overall, she is balanced and pleasing and is the most beautifully moving Dachshund we have owned...she outmoves her sire, Maximus, and is better overall than he is, too.  Ryan is so much fun to show, she will be selectively 'specialed' while we wait for her to grow up.

Pretty child already at 5.5 weeks!	What a LOOK! Sheesh!
12 weeks	20 weeks
Just shy of 7 months	12 months...a new Champion!
14 months...1st BOV over 5 specials

We will be breeding Ryan to CH Add-Sim's Cosmopolitan MS, "Cosmo", after her second birthday next summer.  I honestly would rather wait a little longer (because I like to SHOW her), but Cosmo will be 9 years old in 2009 and this is a excellent match, both in conformation and in pedigree.  We really like the temperament we got when we bred Ryan's granddam, Tania, to Cosmo (the 2008 "Once" litter) and his health and that of his close relatives has been incredibly good.  We want to breed to him again before he gets any older.  We may breed Evie to him as well.
