I am very grateful to the Secretary and Committee for the opportunity to judge three varieties of dachshund at championship level and it was interesting to compare the various traits and differences. It was hard but rewarding work with dogs present in 36 classes and very warm weather: the in-and-out tented rings were so welcome for all concerned, especially the dogs, and movement may have affected by the hot conditions. My two trusty stewards, Sue and Alison, worked so hard and efficiently to keep me on track and I am extremely grateful to them both. SMOOTH HAIRED DACHSHUND I was generally pleased with the entry with none showing the really heavy low fronts which have afflicted the breed in the past and none of my firsts or seconds showing less than the required 25% clearance. Temperaments were good. One slightly odd finding was the ear set which overall was too low on the head. Veteran: (1,0) Wand’s Wanderhund California Girl, 8 year old black & tan (B&T) bitch, compact, in excellent hard condition, very good front, decent pair of shoulders, level topline and just enough clearance, good tight feet, moved out with confidence and really enjoying her day out, up for consideration in the challenge BV Puppy Dog: (0,0) Junior Dog: (1,0) Wand’s Wanderhund For My Next Trick, 11 month old B&T, with good head and eye, excellent outline and proportions, decent amount of clearance, correct shoulder placement and elbows, fine length of neck, really tight feet, level topline and drove out well if not quite parallel at front, BPD & RDCC Post Graduate Dog: (4,1) Hinwood’s Longmel Courvoissier Truffle, 2 year old red, pleasing head and eye, sufficient neck, strong front, decent clearance, tight feet, good topline, a tad more ribbing and rear angulation would be preferred, drove well enough and fairly parallel 2. Carver’s Hasoma Lumiere, 2 year old B&T, good head and eye, a little upright in front, good length of neck, level topline, could do with a bit more ribbing, not the feet of class winner, didn’t move out with enthusiasm, fairly parallel at rear but better on approach 3.
