Northern Dachshund Club 2007

MINIATURE LONG HAIRED

 First of all I would like to thank the Northern Club for the invitation to judge; the hospitality accorded to me and my husband was second to none. In regards to the breed, I found dirty unwashed coats, dirty teeth and unclipped nails and feet and also some bad mouths. Although conformation of the dogs is important, it's also presentation of coats etc. MPD (7,2) 1 Roberts' Wingcrest Goldfinger with Denver. Very lovely baby with a good head and feet. Sound, promising and moved very well for a baby. 2 Leyshon Pickescott Zigmind. Lovely head and a good front. Good length of neck and he moved well. 3 Beal's Chriskims Sun Screen at Kizbeal.
