Just what I love to see, a man hard at work!

I just love your Leaping Dachshund sign. It's fantastic!

Everyone needs a fierce guard dog.

Or cat. I have no mice.

And if I had a doxie, I'd have no chickens! Seriously, they do have a high prey drive as many hounds and terriers do. Thankfully, my labs have been successfully taught to view chickens as totally off limits. Yesterday, the 2 yo puppy girl came nose to beak with one. I told her she better back off or the chook was gonna take a chunk out of her nose.

Notice how he has his eyes squinched closed?
This vicious beast can be up and on you before you know it.

We have two Doxies. One of them could care less about what's wandered into "her" yard. But the other one is on a constant hunt for Lizards every time she's let out.

Year ago I had one of these little fellers his name was Booger.
The people gave him to me because he dug holes.

One of the sweetest dogs I ever had.
Three cats slept on top of him every night in a big chair.

I miss Booger too along with everything else.

I have worked with other people that complained about them digging.
That is like complaining about a fish swimming.

I think some people get a dachshund not realizing what they are all about. The are very sweet little dogs but they do have a lot of energy and are as stubborn as can be. They can be trained but it's not easy they have an iron will. I'll never forget walking my first Dachshund in the neighborhood and ran into this older German woman who said, "oh a Dakel (what they call them in Germany), very cute, very stubborn" that sums it up pretty well. If you know what your getting they are really are wonderful bold little dogs.
