Is there anything better than reading that title about Ann Gordon discussing Judging Dachshunds?
As many people do not know, Mrs Gordon has been my mentor from the first time I saw her judge Dachshunds at the DC of the Great Lakes in Chicago back in 1977. She pointed and I knew that she liked everything that I did. I always wanted her to like my dogs and put them up because I felt that she (and John Cook) was the best Judge pointing at Dachshunds here in the USA. Wally Jones and I both wanted our dogs to win under her because she really KNEW what each Dachshund had to have. She was the best and instead of getting mad at her judging, we watched and learned what she wanted and realized that she was indeed right. The Boondox and Walmar dogs changed and got better and following where she pointed led us to the place we wanted to be.
I have won so much under her, but I have really worked to please her. Read this article and her love of the Dachshund Breed and what makes them great shines through. She was a mentor to me and we NEVER talked doigs at all. I just watched her and changed my dogs to be like the ones she liked becuase they were better. I learned so much from her.
