Dachshund Video & Events

I'm owned by a four-year-old dachshund named Buddy. He is so cute, and a spoiled rotten dog! Its a darn good thing he is cute, because he'd be in some trouble for some things he does on purpose or even on accident!
I was surfing the web today and found an ad by dog food company Eukanuba, that is breed specific for dachshunds, due to they sometimes have back problems and maybe arthritis when they get older. They had a video posted that shares a short history of the dachshund breed, along with short interviews with dachshund owners, and showing their dogs. I thought I'd post it here, so that you can watch it too. Very informative and interesting .. and some things I didn't know about the breed.

Enjoy.



Now, if you live in Las Vegas, and think that a dachshund might be for you, check out my new links to the right -- especially the one for the Las Vegas Doberman and Dachshund Rescue. Brenda (the owner) rescues older dogs, makes sure the animals are microchipped, neutered/spayed, had all their shots, and verifies every person who wants to adopt one of these precious dogs. They also have a way you can foster the animal, or just donate money to help out a particular dog or dogs in her rescue.

ALSO, I belong to the Las Vegas Hot-Diggity Dachshund Club and they are planning for their big event coming up in October - called the Hallo-Weiner. It's a picnic at the Dog Fancier's Park near Nellis & Flamingo Rd, in Las Vegas. They'll have costume contests, food, weiner races, a photo booth and much more. See the flyer here:

Dogs can be our friends

Dog Quotes for Thursday

I am owned by a Dachshund. I do not own him. I take him for granted too much. And he loves me unconditionally.
