Northern Counties Dachshund Association

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their breed club show and to all the exhibitors for kindly entering under me. I had a great day and was very pleased with my final winners. I awarded BIS to the Wire-Haired Dachshund Brumberhill Mr Wilks JW with RBIS going to the Min Smooth Dachshund Lokmadi With A Dragon Tattoo. My BPIS I fell in love with in the class and however hard I looked I was unable to pass her by so this went to the Wire-Haired Dachshund Ambiesque Ava and RBPIS to the Min Wire Haired Dachshund Alncroft All Round Lokmadi.
