It was an honour to be asked to judge at the Southern Dachshund Association Open show, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I’d like to say a massive thank you to the committee of Southern Dachshund Association for all their hard work and creating such a friendly show with fabulous sunshine. A garden party atmosphere with a super judge's lunch. I would also like to thank Richard O’Connell for stewarding for me. He done an impeccable job and kept the ring moving well. Thank you to everyone who entered their wonderful dogs under me. Despite the heat, everyone kept in good spirts. Miniature Wirehaired Minor Puppy - No Entries Puppy – No Entries Junior (2) 1st M DANCE – Emem Hazel Sunshine JW Harsh-coated wild boar who caught my eye on the first go around and held my attention. Beautiful houndy head with dark oval shaped eyes. Correct dentition and scissor bite. Good amount of neck into good shoulder placement. Tight elbows and well ribbed back. Balanced, covered the ground with confidence and effortless. Holds a firm and level topline in profile. Presented and handled well. BOB and very pleased to see that she gained RBIS. 2nd B ROSE – Barratini Song and Dance with Rosencrantz Red bitch with a feminine head and correct dark oval eye shape. Good scissor bite. Adequate length of neck. Slightly upright in shoulder. Pleasing length of ribbing with short loin. Well angled rear. Good ground clearance with nice drive. Would have liked a harsher coat but presented beautifully.

Feminine head with dark oval eye and good scissor bite. Slightly arched neck into good laid shoulders. Tight elbows. Sufficient ribbing, balance hind quarters.

Good bite. Strong reach of neck with correct shoulders. Another with tight elbows. Ribbing is of correct length. Nice rear angulation to finish off the balance. Moves with purpose and confidence.
