WINDSOR CHAMPIONSHP SHOW. 2ND JULY 2023. SMOOTH HAIRED DACHSHUNDS. JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS

IT IS MANY YEARS SINCE I LAST JUDGED THIS BREED, THIS APPOINTMENT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME WHO , IN MY OPINION ARE STILL TOO LOW TO GROUND, I FOUND SOME LOVELY WINNERS TODAY. FEET STILL NEED ATTENTION , CLIPPING NAILS WOULD HELP. SOME SHORT BRISKETS AND RIBBING AND A COUPLE OF EXHIBITS WHOSE SHOULDER BLADES WERE FAR TOO WIDE APART SO THAT THE ACTUAL POINT OF SHOULDER WAS TOO FAR UP TOWARDS THE NECK. MOVEMENT IN HINDQUARTERS IN SOME COULD STILL IMPROVE. THANK YOU FOR MY GOOD ENTRY .
