EASTERN COUNTIES DACHSHUND ASSOCIATION
OPEN SHOW

Thank you so much to the committee for asking me to judge at their show. It was a very enjoyable day amongst friends and I really enjoyed myself. The dogs were better than last time I judged miniatures and I was pleased to see there were none that looked drastically underweight.
There were, however, a couple of dogs that were over long or too tall which doesn’t help when trying to keep correct weight. Most displeasing thing I saw today though, was several dogs with very dirty teeth, one in particular being only 7 months old (the first miniature smooth I judged). It takes little effort to correct this and keep them clean so please, exhibitors, pay more attention to your dogs.

Open Show
5th June 2016

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge today, I think this was one of the best atmospheres at a show I have experienced. The dogs I judged today were all in superb condition, I am pleased to say that on the whole mouths were fine, temperaments were wonderful, but for me too many ribs/keels stop between the front legs and I was also disappointed at how many, especially youngsters, were either too deep in chest and/or too short on the leg I do like to see daylight, I know I am repeating myself. May I also thank my Steward Ian Seath for his help to keep things running smoothly.

Junior Handeling (6-11)
1 Kieron Alton aged 7, Now I know I am bias but our smooths do get a bad press at times, well just watch this little super star in the making with his red bitch. The 2 were in total harmony with each other, he was in control at all times and she was eagerly listening to everything he said to her. He has a good future and I so hope he keeps it up showing as he has a real talent and empathy with his dog

Junior Handeling (12-16)
1 Abigail Levene aged 13 2 Bryony Fossett aged 15 I believe if I was waiting for one to make a mistake we would still be there. Both these young ladies got the best they could from their dogs, there were both aware of exactly what was going on where I was and what their dogs were up to. It was so difficult to split them.
