I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE MIDLAND DACHSHUND CLUB FOR INVITING ME TO JUDGE THEIR
  CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW,THE WORK THAT DANIEL AND HIS TEAM PUT INTO THE SMOOTH RUNNING
  OF THE SHOW IS OBVIOUS TO SEE.
  THANKYOU TO THE EXIBITORS FOR THE LOVELY ENTRY YOU GAVE ME.
  I HAVE TO SAY IN GENERAL I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF SOME OF THE
  EXIBITS TODAY,MY MAIN WINNERS PLEASED ME IMMENSLY.BUT SADLY THE NORM NOW SEEMS
  TO BE SHORT NON EXISTANT NECKS,BAD SHOULDERS WITH VIRTUALLY NO ANGULATION AND
  SHORT RIBBING,DACHSHUNDS ARE HOUNDS AND SHOULD MOVE AS SUCH NOT LIKE TOYS
  TUMMY TAPPING WITH SHORT LITTLE STEPS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME BUT SEEMS TO BE
  THE FASHION AT THE MOMENT, PRESENTATION IN A LOT OF CASES LEFT A LOT TO BE
  DESIRED A QUICK SPRAY WITH GROOMING SPRAY BEFORE GOING IN THE RING IS NOT
  ENOUGH AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR DIRTY TEETH.
  TEMPERAMENT IS MUCH IMPROVED.
  I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SIT AT THE SIDE OF THE RING AND BE CRITICAL
  TO OTHER EXIBITS THEN MAKE SURE YOUR OWN HOUSE IS IN ORDER FIRST AND YOU ARE NOT
  SEING YOUR OWN STOCK THROUGH ROSE TINTED SPECTACLES, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN AWFUL
  LOT OF BAD SPORTSMANSHIP WITHIN THE BREED , HEALTHY COMPETITION IS GOOD BUT
  BE PLEASED FOR OTHERS AS WELL AS YOURSELFS,WE ALL TAKE THE BEST DOG HOME BUT AS
  FAR AS THE BREED STANDARD GOES THERE IS QUITE A LONG WAY TO GO IN MANY CASES.
