Our Family of Dachshunds
Dachshunds are like Potato Chips one is Never enough!!
Dog of Many Colors, Coats and Sizes!
How God Made Dachshunds
God made a little dachsie to brighten up our day
He took a bit of sunshine, laughter, love and play
and rolled it up in a sausage shape just right for a hug,
with bright eyes full of mischief set in its little mug.
With little paws a pattering to take it here and there and a cold wet nose-
but then he thought, "Oh, what about the hair?"
Shall I make it long and silky, or wiry, that's so sweet, or make it simple, and have it smooth and satiny and neat?
And what about the color?
How can I pick just one?
Shall it be black, or red or brown or dappled, just for fun?"
He pondered while He made the world, And all creatures great and small-
And then the answer came to Him-
"OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!"
So remember that a dachshund is special from above-
His coat of many colors is a sign of God's great Love.

USA The Dachshund Breed Standard has not changed in regards to Piebalds. You can still show them and some Judges have indicated that they will still put them up regardless of what DCA says. There is no disqualification for the Piebald Pattern!!!! Several Judges have indicated that they will still award points to piebalds!.jpg)
(All dogs above are owned by us, but are spayed/neutered, except for the Creams and are not for sale)
The Dachshund has an unmistakable look - long low body on short legs -

1. I could walk around safely barefoot in the dark.
2. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
3. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of dog hair.
4. When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like the SPCA kennels and I could get to the door without wading through four or five dog bodies who beat me there.
5. I could sit how I wanted to on the couch without taking into consideration where several little furbodies would need to get.
6. I would not have strange presents under my tree, like dog bones, stuffed animals and have to answer to people why I wrap them up.
7. I would not be on a first name basis with a vet.
8. Most used words in my vocabulary would not be: potty, outside, sit, down, come, no, and leave him/her ALONE.
9. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates.
10. My purse would not contain things like poop pick up bags and dog treats.
11. I would no longer have to spell the world B-A-L-L and F-R-I-S-B-E-E.
12. I would not buy weird things to stuff into "kongs" or have to explain why I'm buying them, or what a "kong" is.
13. I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
14. I would not look strangely at people who think having their ONE dog ties them down too much.
15. I would not have to answer the question why do I have so many dogs from people who will never have the joy in their life of knowing they are loved unconditionally by something as close to an angel as they will ever get. Who else has a friend who considers you the MOST important thing in the whole wide world all the time.
