Firstly I would like to thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge four varieties of Dachshunds at their prestigious show. I would also like to thank my stewards who were very professional and knowledgeable and whose expertise added to my enjoyment of the day.

JD(2) 1 Chapman's Melminds Zsylvester. 15 months old s/r with masculine head, good reach of neck and front assembly. Well bodied. Topline held on the move and stacked. Strode out purposefully and with drive. 2 Fossett's Africandawns Night Guardian At Bryndax. 16 mth old clear red dog, finer type than first. Nice head and front assembly. Held topline on the move, just preferred movement of first.

PGD (1) 1 Bryndax Second To None. Clear red dog, took a little time to settle. Good houndy head, front assembly and length of ribbing, held topline when stacked. Moved far better in the challenge for different handler. RBD.
