Could I begin by thanking the Committee of the Smooth Haired Dachshund Club for asking me to judge the mini smooth classes at their open show It was an honour and privilege to be able to go over some lovely examples of the breed. For those that are interested It was good to see the average weight across the classes was 10.4lb with only a couple over 12lb. I must say a huge thank you to all the mini exhibitors that had entered and especially to those that stayed for the open show despite it starting later in the afternoon than expected. I would also like to thank my steward Amy, who kept things moving along smoothly and efficiently. VD/B (5,3) 1, BV, Cross’s Stargang Sansa VW – Spritely 13yr old bitch that carried her feminine head well and gracefully. Good level top line with strong keel and well ribbed. Good angulation both in the front and rear allowing her to move freely and smoothly around the ring. 2. Bullingham’s Bowetts Aventurine At Stoweytops, Almost 10yr old bitch nicely balanced across her frame with a good top line and good angulation in both fore and rear quarters. A strong keel and with nice feet, however, did not quite have the movement of 1 on this occasion. MPD (9,1) 1: Rudkin’s, Stargang Dante's Inferno For Dynastydax Red 6mth old dog.
