Smooth piebald takes Best in Show

I just heard through the grapevine that a mini smooth b/t piebald male won Best in Show at a dachshund specialty. In Canada.

Way to go!! Thank you so much to the judge who judged conformation at a conformation judging, and not color.

In Canada, there are 6 groups of dachshund. The minis: smooth, long and wire, and the standards: smooth, long and wire. When there's a specialty show, you can be sure the breeders bring out all their 'big guns', their seasoned champions, to compete. Winning a Best in Show at a specialty is a really really big deal. A piebald winning? I bet there was fainting.

If you wish to see photos of this boy, let me know and I'll pass you the link.
It's a very good day for piebalds.

There's no problem showing piebalds in Canada.
They have been dismissed from the ring in the States by some judges but not all. My Georgia was shown in the States before she came to live with us. We will be showing her next summer here in Canada.

This is Georgia a couple of summers ago and we are very proud. A CKC ribbon, Canadian kennel club.. It seems all the more special when a pie wins.
