DARLINGTON  CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW.  MINIATURE LONG HAIRED DACHSHUNDS  16/9/2023 JUDGE Vivien Phillips

It has been quite a while since I last judged this variety  and I was rather concerned about temperaments.  So many , specially amongst the younger dogs, were nervous and did not want to stand on the table and their eyes looked fearful as they hunched themselves so that the toplines did not look  level.  Having said this, I was very pleased with my main winners who I found to be very good examples of the breed. The veterans were all a tad heavy but   I was also surprised that there were some puppies that tipped the scales
