The Fab Five are pioneers in my dachshund play dates and pictures. They were among the first dachshunds I ever photographed professionally, and long before Emily or Lily was ever a possibility, there was Polie, Leo, Kaia and Jake. The Fab Five grace the cover of our book – 102 Dachshunds and are the headline banner for this website. These five dachshunds will forever remain very special to me and my continued exploration of the art I simply (and lovingly) call dachshund photography.  Enjoy the photos and remember to get your copy of the book while supplies last. Support the charity that champions the breed we love. Have a wonderful day dachshund friends.
