Leeds. Miniature Smooth Dachshund

I enjoyed judging this variety and think they are quite strong at the moment. I had expected to mind lots of oversize ones, not the case. A couple were clearly too big but that was it, the rest very clearly miniatures. Heads were probably the biggest failing, some were to short, often rather wide in skull. Quite a few had badly set ears, sticking out. The ground was not ideal, and some performed better than others on the day. Good to hear some applause around a Dachshund ring.

Puppy D (5,1)

Promising class, some coped with the ground better than others.

He has v good proportions and powered around the ring. Would like a better head. Medium neck. Well laid shoulder and long sloping upper arm. Well sprung ribs. V good rear which he uses so well. Firm topline. Hope he has finished growing. BP
