I first awarded CCs in Wires back in 1989, where BOB was Ch Andlouis Black Knight (winning his 4th CC). So I guess by now exhibitors know I don’t like too big and I do like a good mover, holding their outline. I think this variety is in a good place. Some top class dogs at the top, but plenty of really good Dachshunds. It was good to see some black and tans and reds in the entry (when I started the reds dominated). Thanks for accepting having a student judge, it’s a very useful tool in bringing on the next batch of judges.
