Thank you very much for inviting me to Judge apologise for any confusion, I recently changed my name from Joy Gonszor back to Joy Middleton. A massive thank you to everyone who entered and attended the show. Some cracking dogs to judge and I had a really good time despite being told I didn’t know what I was doing. I appreciate those who asked for my feedback and the decisions I had made. If you are going to talk about a judge and their decisions, please do this out of the ring and ideally at home not while standing in front of the judge. Or maybe you might want to ask the judge why they have made those decisions! I was alarmed at the amount of dogs who had retrained puppy teeth please do check your dogs before attending shows. 

 

Long Haired Dachshunds. 

Puppy Dog (2/1) !) Miss J Dimon, Labbadax Inspiration for Dimerlin. Lovely red dog. Still very young and very large in size. Loved well with drive from the rear. Toes in the rear going away but movement is still loose. Look forward to see him mature. 

Junior Dog (1/0) 1) Mrs S Rodrigues, Darsoms Zantor. Would like to see more front. Lovely tight feet, hound like expression and in good condition. Held top line on the move and stacked. Another dog larger in size.

Junior Bitch (1/0) 1 & BB) Mr P and Mrs D Clarke, Tekalhaus Million to One. Red. What a delight. Full of character which I could only hope to see more of. Presence in the ring from start to finish. Strides out covering the ground with ease. Correct size. Nice tight feet, well presented and well handled. Lovely front extension used well on the move, with power from a well muscled rear. Good dark pigment and lovely hound expression. Still young and I think the best is yet to come from her. I look forward to seeing her mature.
