Judge Laura Sexton
Wirehaired Dachshund
I would like to thank the committee for giving me this opportunity to go over the three standard dachshund breeds. It was interesting to go over what should essentially be the same dog but all of the three breeds have their good and bad points which vary from breed to breed. I was very pleased to see that my main winners featured highly in the Best in Show judging. The show was very well run and there was an excellent sporting atmosphere round the rings. The only downside for the dogs was the flooring which did not allow them to move out as well as they undoubtedly could. My most difficult task was the unenviable judging between two great children in the junior handling class!

Junior Handling
Junior Handling (6-10 years): Two very young handlers, neither of whom had great experience but who will hopefully take encouragement from what must have been quite a daunting experience in a large ring with many onlookers, 1. Maria Vaitekunaite, who followed advice and instructions and handled her dog very well and with some confidence. Whilst clearly not strong enough to place her dog on the table she nevertheless managed to set her dog correctly and then walked him calmly around the ring and did as asked, 2. Sam Smythe, who needs a little more training and did become a tad confused on a couple of occasions but nevertheless did not lose heart and carried on valiantly and walked his dog as asked.
Junior Handling (11-16 years): No entries

Maintained a level top line when moving, which she did with sound drive. BP. 2 Mutton’s Montone Her Ladyship: 10mth red bitch, An elegant head and neck, moving with really drive, but not holding a level topline consistently today. RBP. *J* (3/1) 1 Yeoman’s PinedaxMurcas Little Girl at Klynerbyner: 13mth chocolate bitch, a super size and construction but would like her a little more positive on the move. Maintained a level topline throughout. 2 Watkinson’s My Boy Samson Lee: 12 mth red dog, lovely proportions and movement but too big for my liking, but maintained a level top line with excellent drive.*Y* (6,4) 1 Dare’s Darsoms Zoe: 19mth b/t bitch, From her classic head, through elegant neck and great angles front and rear, she was a great example of the breed. Level top line at all times and straight driving on the move. 2 Edwards’ Little Glass Slipper: 19 mth b/t bitch. A little too leggy for me but showed good drive on the move and maintained a level topline throughout.*PG* (1) 1 Lewis’ Roonard Calendar Girl: 2 and a half yr b/t bitch, great head with sound front and rear angles. Level top line but would like more drive when on the move.*L* (9/1) 1 Startup’s Curtisey Head Gardener: 4yr red dog, spot on in every aspect. A great example of what a miniature should be, plus attitude, just lost out to the open winner by fractions. RBOB. 2 Lewis’ Ardenrun Maid of the Weald: 4yrs red bitch, another excellent breed specimen with little to fault. Just not driving to the extent of the class winner on the day.*O* (6/1) 1 Muggleton’s Mosiarto Miss Minimum: 6 and a half yr b/t bitch, super classy with everything I was looking for including the ability to show herself off on the move. BOB. 2 Mutton’s Poshpride Alfa Lady: 6yr b/t bitch, pushed the winner hard but was beaten on drive on the move. Would be a worthy winner on another day.
