I enjoyed my judging at the Scottish dachshund club and thank the committee for the invitation. I found the mini smooth today to be of overall good quality with only a few exhibits marginally overweight. I was disappointed in One particularly lovely bitch who was moving very wide behind today. Temperaments on the whole were good. Mouths were excellent apart from one exhibit who had lower canines running up into the soft palate. Heads where varied with not many good strong muzzles. Many were out at elbow.
