Three Counties 2015

Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired)

Judge: Mrs Fay Hutchings

Thank you Three Counties for inviting me to judge the smooth varieties, and to my two stewards for their help on the day.  I enjoyed my day immensely and had some lovely super dogs to go over, thank you for bringing them and the super sportsmanship around the ring. In miniatures, some lovely competition especially amongst the puppy bitches there are some really lovely prospects there.  For me the best variety in quality was splitting hairs in some classes.  Heads have much improved, and really food mouths, couple of puppies still having baby teeth, but other than that nearly all had correct dentition.  Only had one marginally overweight, but was more than well covered.  In Standards, Size in improving, I felt the miniatures actually handled the grass (a little long) better than the standards as a whole. some lovely head pieces,  most were well conditioned and presentation was super.
