Oh how we love the dachshunds!

Dachshunds, Doxies, Dachsies, Weiner dogs, Teckels — we love ‘em!  And you must love ‘em too, because you found your way here!
Did you know….

  • Dachshunds are the 7th most popular breed in the US?
  • “Dachshund” means “badger dog” in German? (No wonder they are so tenacious!  Have you ever seen a badger?  They are no joke!)

    Could your dachshund take this badger? My littlest one thinks she could....but no.

  • Dachshunds come in 3 hair types — smooth, long, and wire?  (A friend of ours calls the longhairs “Jaclyn Smith dogs.”)
  • Dachshunds come in many colors and patterns, but the red and black & tan are the most common.

We are just getting started!  Come back and visit often.

If you have a suggestion on a blog post, or a question, I’d love to hear from you.
