I was delighted with an entry of 127.......thanks to the exhibitors for the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions.    Some placings were very close decisions particularly the later classes in both sexes.  I thought some exhibits were a little on the large side, a few level bites but coat presentation on the whole was excellent.

Just one little thing.......I wish handlers wouldn't bait their Dachshunds so much on the table, it makes it difficult to assess them as they wriggle around looking for the food.

Very pleased to see my BOB awarded Best in Show, my BP awarded Best Puppy in Show and my BV awarded Best Veteran in Show.   

 A nicely organised show,  thanks to my stewards and the lady who catered for lunch did a super job......it was delicious!
