Border Union Championship Show 2015

Dachshund (Smooth Haired)

Judge: Dogs - Judge(s): MISS LESLEY McNAUGHTON (CEDAVOCH)

IT IS FOUR YEARS SINCE I LAST JUDGED SMOOTHS .DUE TO THE SIZE OF ENTRY I CANNOT SAY IT WAS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BREED ON A WHOLE BUT I DID FIND TWO TAIL FAULTS AND A SUSPECT MOUTH.NAILS NEED ATTENTION AND IN MANY EXHIBITS THIS LED TO SPLAYED FEET.SIZE WAS VERY MIXED SOME OF THE LARGER HOUNDS HAVE LOST ELEGANCE AND ARE VERGING ON THE COARSE SIDE YET SMALLER ONES HAVE LOST ALL BONE AND SUBSTANCE.GROUND CLEARANCE IN SOME WAS LIMITED.WRINKLE IS ALSO CREEPING BACK IN .ON A PLUS SHOULDER PLACEMENT IS IMPROVING,TEMPERAMENTS WERE FIRST CLASS AND MY MAIN WINNERS HAD SUPER DRIVING ACTION.

I FOUND IT HARD TO JUDGE TO TYPE AND FELT I HAD TO JUDGE EACH DOG ON ITS INDIVIDUAL MERITS.
