I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge the Wire Haired Dachshunds without CC’s, at their breed club show held in conjunction with the Leeds Championship Show. Although not a numerically strong entry I enjoyed the challenge and thank the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to evaluate their dogs. Temperament of all dogs was excellent
