Thanks to The Long Haired Dachshund Club for inviting me to judge Dachshund Miniature Long Haired males at this prestigious well run show. Thanks also to my very efficient steward for his excellent assistance given to me on the day it was greatly appreciated. Thanks also to the exhibitors for allowing me to go over their lovely dogs and giving me a lovely day and taking the decisions so sportingly. On seeking my winners, I knew the type I was looking for in accordance with the requirements of the breed standard and my mind’s eye. I gave consideration to the desired height to length ratio and ground clearance and a dog that looked very much fit for purpose and was pleased with the entry.
