Min Long Dachshunds

I was concerned about how many of those present, especially in males, were significantly heavier than 11lbs. I am quite relaxed about dogs being a little heavy, and do treat it as a fault, but would urge you to keep size in mind. It was always argued that some of the better males were just a bit big, my top winning males were all within the desired maximum weight. Neck length wasn’t as big a concern as previously.
