“Low to ground, long in body and short of leg, with robust muscular development; the skin is elastic and pliable without excessive wrinkling. The Dachshund is well-balanced with bold and confident head carriage and intelligent, alert facial expression. His hunting spirit, good nose, loud tongue and distinctive build make him well-suited for below-ground work and for beating the bush. His keen nose gives him an advantage over most other breeds for trailing.” American Kennel Club.
I love my dachshund.

Such Beautiful animals! They each have their own personalities. But our 3 also have the same exact stance, boldness, expressive eyes, and loving nature. I also love this breed and feel blessed to have 2 boys and a baby girl to share our days with ❤ Johnny, your daily photos are the start of every morning for me. Thank you for your dedication and love of presenting Dachshunds so beautifully!
Thanks Virginia. That’s why I do it. Glad you like them. They’re for all doxie-holics near and far; intended to make us all smile as we go about our day. 🙂
I love all dogs bu there is something so special about Dachshunds I have had my Boomer since he was 7 weeks old and I can’t even think about every being without him he is my world!
You are in good company, because many of us doxie humans feel the exact the same way. To love a doxie, is to love a loyal companion for life. 🙂
