- Screening for IVDD and the fundraising to support this
- Lafora disease and the registration of recessive coated puppies
- The demise of Dog World and the importance of the dog press
- A thank you to all the volunteers who give their time freely for the benefit of the breed

All the handlers are members of the Southern Dachshund Association: Fizz Carter, on the Committee, with Lily, Steffi Bourne, Newsletter Editor with Raffy, Stella Smyth with Dusty & Pebbles (Pebbles is handled by one of her girls, Christine, who works at her kennels). This is such good and positive publicity for Dachshunds.
The Dachtastic Miniature Longhaired Dachshund Obreedience team have made it to the finals for the second year running! Last year’s support from the audience was amazing and really helped calm the team’s nerves, seeing all those flags waving thems on.
