After George Spradling judged a nice entry at Beverly Hills KC in 1966, he was a guest at a dinner and talked about his favorite breed, the Dachshund. Mrs. Barbara Nichols recorded his remarks and after the discussion, Mr. Spradling read the transcript and gave it his approval.
He talks about conformation, faults and virtues, how they show up in the Dachshund ring and how we need to do something about the faults that recur in our breeding programs. He talks about looking for virtues, not faults; why the forequarters are much more important than the rear and why ‘square’ rears are not what the breed needs.
His points are easy to follow and we hope the article gives you some things to consider in your outlook on what to strive for in your breedings.
