My thanks go to the exhibitors for their entries on this, my first time awarding CCs to Dachshunds. Without exception, all exhibits were shown in good body condition and presented in good order which was appreciated. The organisation of this show is first class; we had a large ring and my thanks to my two very efficient stewards. I was particularly pleased to see the unbeaten bitch line up when it assembled as I thought they looked very similar in type and overall shape.
