Manchester Championship Show 2022

DACHSHUND (SMOOTH-HAIRED)

Judge: Mrs Jane Maxwell

I was thrilled by the large entry and I’m sorry that exhibitors had to wait so long. However thanks to  very efficient and unobtrusive stewards working really hard we all got the BOB decided in time for the Group. My note taking had to be kept to a minimum  so my critique is perhaps not as expansive as usual. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the wonderful array of dogs presented, a bit more strength in depth in the males today.However the puppy classes in both sexes were an absolute joy throughout, the juniors too.What a future ahead for the breed.
