Judges report for miniature long haired dachshunds. Miniature club championship show. 8th February 2026. Judge Mrs Mandy Dance

I would like to start by thanking the miniature club and committee for inviting me to judge this variety also to my very capable steward Mrs Janet K who kept the ring running beautifully. Of course it would be no-show without the exhibitors and I thank everyone for the entry.

I will begin with the good points: temperaments were on the whole very good and I personally set a lot of store about this. Mouths were correct with all having scissor bite though some teeth could do with cleaning. Nails were short apart from a few which required attention. Presentation varied although most were presented in good coat and clean condition. Top lines on the hole were not too bad and I was pleased that size doesn’t seem to have taken over as an issue as yet with many exhibits being correctly sized. Unfortunately there are also some bad points: feet were very worrying in many cases with flat open feet pointing at 10 to 2 and worse in some instances. Eyes although dark were large round and protruding in quite a few. Elbows were out on nearly all the exhibits apart from a few. Fronts were disappointing. Either they were very narrow in front or they had no forechest. Handling in some instances left a lot to be desired and people could make more of their exhibits if they learned to handle them correctly.

Shoulders also left a lot to be desired in many, with shoulder blades running into the neck and very short upper arms.

Without correct front assembly, these are not good dachshunds. I fear that the coat covers a multitude of sins and if these dogs were to be wet through or stripped of their coats they would show not to be a correct assembly of the dachshund. Some were very slab sided and lacking in bone showing little evidence of substance.

That being said I was pleased with my winners. My criticisms are to hopefully be helpful to newer exhibitors.

Veteran dog three entries, three present.

First best veteran Res cc. Woodbine-Shone Ch Hanishan Fire Cracker.

Seven year old red with good top line, lovely mouth and moving with plenty of drive. His front assembly is correct and he shows enthusiasm. Well presented and in great condition. Correct height to length ratio pleasing exhibit.

Second Western and Johnson. Champion Ecotyne Devil’s advocate.

B/T Pleasing sized dog. Well ribbed and has a good front, but didn’t have the top line of one today.

Minor puppy dog six entries.

First Whitfield Roberts. Dandydayo cowboy and kisses. Lovely sized red puppy had good top line and correct front assembly feet were good tight and had short nails. Best puppy dog but he was tired when it came to best puppy and breed promising baby.

Second brown. Devon cream Dustin Thyme. Cream baby slightly longer cast than first and less mature. Had pleasing head and eye with good pigment.
