Crufts 2024 Dachshunds Miniature Long Haired
I was delighted to be ask to judge at Crufts again for the second time and enjoyed my day immensely.Thankyou,to all the exhibitors for the fantastic entry it was a pleasure and honour to go over your dogs .
Just a few observations one is that short necks seems to be creeping in which takes away from the overall picture and elegance also tummy tapping which shouldn’t be in a hound breed and also narrow fronts I feel in general quality has improved However there was one undershot mouth , one with missing teeth and one non entire male which does ask the question of how did they qualify?
The 2 or 3 gossips who seemed to know what I was going to do before I judged obviously had no reflection on my placings and quite honestly I find pathetic !
My winners pleased me immensely and in the higher classes I could have done with more red cards .
