Driffield Championship Dog Show

 Report for Driffield miniature long haired dachshund Mandy dance judge.

I found that many exhibits were too thin. Also many were too long in the body, and did not fulfil the 1 to 2 balance ratio required. Worryingly I found several who were worried. I feel the overall quality is lacking.
