All the puppies are now gone to their new homes, but we need to catch up here on the puppy journal with what had happened here during the last ten days. When Cheri Faust came here to breed Danika to Sky we managed to set some time aside to take pictures of puppies on a grooming table and evaluate their conformation. At the time two pups had already left for new homes so we could do stacking with only five pups.
Cheri is a very experienced with showing dachshunds and she taught the pups stack on the table within ten minutes. This is a video of demonstrating how she does it.
There were quite a few differences visible among the pups when it comes to body type, proportions, size, coat etc.

We both agreed that Uschi has the best conformation of the five pups. She has very nice proportions and nice angulation. She was very comfortable in this position. |

This was not he best stack for Ursula, who in reality looks better than in this picture. |
|
If I were to keep a puppy for myself, it would have been most likely Utah. This is a puppy with excellent coat and extreme agility thanks to a very correct conformation. |

While Urho has a lot of very good qualities, he is a little long in the body and overangulated in his rear. |
