Northern Counties Dachshund Association Championship Show 2017

First I would like to thank very much to all involved,  for the amazing opportunity to judge my breed at a championship show in UK. It was an extremely big pleasure to be there. A huge thanks goes to the club and the exhibitors that entered under me with a good entry, as well to my amazing ring steward, that helped me all day long to keep the right way with your system.

Been first time to judge in England was afraid of what would see at the scales results, but in my surprise 90% of the dogs was into a very good weight into the standard. I had just a few over weight dogs that of course kept in mind at my placements.
The general condition was good. The thing that I can point as negative in many dogs was their muscle condition both in males and females. In my opinion is something very important for the welfare of the dogs in general, but also for their correct movements. In general had good temperaments and well-constructed dogs. I am very pleased with my winners and sometimes especially in bitches classes was very hard to point up the best. Look forward to my next visit.
