Windsor Championship Dog Show 2025

Judge: Mrs W Starkey

Dachshund (Min Smooth-Haired)

This was my second year judging at this wonderful show. Thank you to the committee for

inviting me. My stewards did a super job of keeping things flowing. Also a special thank you

to the catering team who were tireless all day. Not having a miniature for a few years now I

was really interested to see them close up. On the whole I was not disappointed however,

the scales may have gone but the weights have NOT, whilst I was pleased with the overall

size there were a few that would challenge scales and my results reflected that. Rear

movement was disappointing on more than I would like, I also feel that ground clearance

needs address, a few were very low to ground.
