You can see exactly the point where the judge first walks down and goes, "oh god not another dachshund!"

[@agirlhasn0name]

That was a good year...the Saluki is my #1 favorite breed. And this group is my favorite...Borzoi, Afghan, Deerhound, Greyhound, Whippet, Pharaoh, Ibizan, Sloughi, Dachshunds, Beagles, Bloodhound...etc.!!

My 2 favorite hounds are the Irish wolf hound and the saluki. Beautiful pups, all of them.

Exactly what I would have chosen in the exact order, very smart lady.

dachshunds kind of disgust me, like grow up kennel club. Ain't no way they are hunting badgers with conformation like that. Like why even have legs at this point. They're kind of just stapled on. Why not just go all the way and make it a living drumstick? Same with the basset hound. Do you see a basset tracking down a hare these days? You think you are making the breed better when in reality you're ruining *years* of work done by other people. The hound group is kind of a joke. Not as big of a joke as some, but still horrible.

I'm talking about show dogs, the dogs in the video you provided are functional. The ones on this video are not. If you took the dogs in your video to a dog show they would get nothing, because they're not deformed enough. What's the basset's excuse then?
