I would like to thank the Committee for a very pleasant run show. And my Steward who kept the dogs and competitors coming into the ring and did a wonderful job . A fabulous entry of Mini Smooths and Standard Wires. Just a few points to mention I was a bit surprised to see an overshot mouth, but teeth of cleanliness had improved. all round.. As to angulation and length of leg, we must be very careful as to what is a show dog and a tracking dog, the length of leg is at the expense of angulation, A dog that shows should have a reasonable angulation and leg of the correct proportion. So it is able to carry the body for all that is expected of the character and health , it should be of a certain fitness so one can say I could take that dog out and it would work as well as show. We do not yet have a working class yet which is a completely different type of Teckel / Dachshund . I hope you can appreciate the difference . Thank you you all for your efforts and entries .
