Dachshund Dog

I'm Joy Osman, and I'm a volunteer dog walker for the elderly. I don't charge for dog walking - it's a labor of love. My tenancy won't currently allow me to keep pets, but I get a lot of pleasure from walking other people's dogs.

I love all dogs but my favorites are dachshunds and border collies. Check out my Dachshund blog at YourDachshund.blogspot.com


dachs-hund    (däkshoont, däksent, däksend)
or to put it another way: "Dox-hunt"

NOUN:
A small dog of a breed developed in Germany for hunting badgers and having a long body, a usually shorthaired brown or black and brown coat, drooping ears, and very short legs.


Long Legged Racing Dachshunds

Please do NOT support Puppy Mills

As if Puppy Mills weren't bad enough yourdachshund.blogspot.com/2007/01/2-dachshund-puppy.html now dachshunds are being targeted by unscrupulous puppy farmers who want to make a lot of money out of producing racing dachshunds.

As absurd as it sounds, the wonderful dachsie breed we all know and love for it's long body and short legs, is now being bred with longer legs so that they can race faster.

That isn't all. These longer legged weiner dogs are being raced at greyhound tracks, and we all know what an abusive industry that is, slaughtering thousands of animals every year. So these poor dachshunds are also party to the abuse of another breed because the track owners are profiting.

The racing dachshund owners are profiting from wins, and their greed is escalating the practice of breeding these 'super' dachsies.

Please always buy your dachshund puppies or ANY puppies from a reputable breeder. Tips for Buying Puppies: yourdachshund.blogspot.com/2007/01/2-dachshund-puppy.html

Thankfully the long legged dachsie in the photo above was not bred for racing. She is half dachsund and half border collie (we think!) - my two favorite breeds - so my perfect dog then!

There are strict laws that govern what humans eat, but pretty much anything can go into commercial dog food. Don't you owe it to your beloved pet to give them the best they can possibly have?
