Please

Hi Members and Subscribers,

There are plenty of great articles in this issue, thank you so much to our contributors! We have another multi-titled Dachshund with “Sly”, the front cover feature for this issue, as well as the rare OTCH title holder, and the difficult Scent Work Detective title. Please read their stories. The club really appreciates you taking the time to write the articles that show the versatility and intelligence of our wonderful breed. Another big thank you to the advertisers! It’s great to see newer members, and even some older ones, advertising for the first time.

All of you are aware of the dates of the Nationals this year, a bit earlier than usual. The summer newsletter will be “The Nationals Issue”,

Dachshund and the board has approved moving the deadline date to April 30th, giving people a bit more time to get their articles and win photos sent in for publication. There will be reminders posted on the DCA Facebook page.

Again, I won’t be able to make it to Nationals, but I know those that attend will have a great time. Conformation is a big part of it, and our dedication to breed better dachshunds, so there are some wonderful events to meet other breeders and find that next great stud! The performance venues are so important, too - kudos to all the trainers/owners who spend so much time and effort making their dogs all they can be. Thank you to all who take on the immense amount of time and hard work to put this huge event together to benefit all of us.

I hope all of you have a great spring and summer with your dogs - good luck!

Lynne
