Dachshund (Miniature Long Haired)

Thank you to the exhibitors for there entries’. I enjoyed judging this lovely breed, and was pleased with my overall placing. All were well presented, although teeth on some could do with a clean. I found none on the thin side, 2 exhibits were well over the desired weight .Temperaments were a concern, many lacked confidence, and extra training for some, may have affected my decisions.
