Dachshund debate continues

THE PROPOSED intervarietal matings between Miniature Smooth and Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds continues to court controversy, with yet more breeders coming forward to express their concern
since the news broke last week.

The request was made to the Kennel Club by well known breeder, Sigurd Wilberg, who had sought approval to mate two of his Champion Miniature Wirehaired bitches to two Miniature Smooth dogs.

The reason for the proposal was to improve conformation and temperament, and would involve selecting mates who were as ‘unrelated as possible’.

However, according to some, there is no need within the breed for such a mating, with claims that the results could be a regressive move with no benefit to the breed whatsoever. Further disappointment has been aimed at the Kennel Club concerning the fact that it appeared not to have consulted
with any of the breed clubs or even the breed council.

The National Celebrates

THE COMMITTEE of The National (Birmingham) celebrated its 150 year history last weekend at the Ullesthorpe Golf and Country Club in the Midlands. Sharing the evening were guests from the Kennel Club and members past and present, together with other guests representing other aspects of past and current links with the Society.

The Committee has to be congratulated not only on the society reaching this fabulous
milestone, but also having the courage to lay on such a terrific night in the face of hard times in the world at large. But there again, what a missed opportunity it would have been bearing in mind the proud heritage of the society, referred to in his toast and speech, by Ronnie Irving, Chairman of the Kennel Club. Ronnie had obviously done his homework going back into the history books to come up with some great quotes on shows in the past. Many of us there remembered the old Bingley Hall, and the years when the show moved around from a number of venues. The National as a fully representative show clearly has had a very close relationship with the Kennel Club,
even though 150 years ago, things did not run smoothly.
