Thank you to the Committee for inviting me to judge the mini smooth dachshunds – and thank you to the exhibitors that gave me a good entry.

Overall – I was pleased with the quality of the breed – very few dirty teeth and only a handful of long nails!!  The only worrying thing is that many of the bitches are only 9-9.5lbs – yes, we want to keep miniatures within the ideal weight of 11lb…. BUT…. dont lets have mini dachshunds that too small…and unsuitable to be bred from.

My main winners were superb…and both the best dog and bitch puppy I will follow carefully…as I am sure they will have a fab career ahead of them.
