Dachshund Truth

GARY_PATCH_TRANSPARENT.gif

The Dachshund (pronounced dak sund) originated in Germany many hundreds of years ago. “Dachs” is the word for badger. The Dachshund was bred to hunt and follow these animals to earth, gradually becoming highly evolved, with shortened legs to dig the prey out and go down inside the burrows. Smaller Dachshunds where bred to hunt hare and stoat. Dachshunds have many “terrier” characteristics. They are versatile and courageous dogs and have been known to take on foxes and otters, besides badgers.

And don’t forget it.

HEY my mini dachshund is named Ella. She is also small. Her full AKC name is Ella Enchanted, and her main alias is Ella la Bella. She has a high degree of snuggle, is afraid of the vacuum, and loves cat poop. If my hobby (hatting) ever becomes a company large enough to necessitate a catalogue or website, you have my business because of Gary!

Thought maybe maybe you might appreciate this Dachshund deed I witnessed in the park a couple weekends ago:

(Notice the cat in the middle background, catching up with owner and dachshund. Cat became nervous (understandable - high dog presence in the park) and bunks down in a grassy depression. Owner commands dachshund to “fetch” the cat, which he does, and — ta dah — cat’s in the bag!
