Brenda Jones’s critique of Wires and Mini Wires at SDA Open Show 2013

Southern Dachshund Association Open Show 

I enjoyed my day, we remained outside even though we had showers, I was disappointed with the mouths in the minis please watch, particularly in the youngsters, movement was also an issue with uncooperative dogs, ringcraft classes would help. Although the rain never helped. Thank you the committee for a well run show.
