Dachshund (All varieties)

Thank you to Llandudno Canine Society for inviting me to judge at their lovely open show at Ruthin Livestock Market.  I had a lovely day and was well looked after by my two very capable stewards.  There was a large outdoor ring for me to judge the dachshunds in, and the sun even made an appearance for us.  Thank you to all the exhibitors who brought their dogs along for me to judge.
