Manchester Championship Show 2022

DACHSHUND (MINIATURE SMOOTH-HAIRED)

Judge: Mrs Jane Maxwell

An amazing entry with a high quality of  Dachshunds presented, the males a bit stronger today in general. My apologies for the late start due to a misunderstanding for the previous variety. Grateful thanks to my two extremely efficient stewards who kept the ring running like clockwork. I did not weigh as I understood that the Covid guidance not to was still in operation and that the time taken would impinge on the time I had to also complete the second variety. This may have changed some places but most miniatures appeared near enough weight wise. I felt I really had to get a move on but did try to ensure that each exhibit had exactly the same amount of attention. I’m afraid my notes had to be a bit more basic than usual to ensure that  I got through the entry promptly and in time for the second variety to make the Group
