My family has had doxies on and off for years. My boy Boomer is as loving as they come and also the biggest A..... that you may run into. One Xmas my SIL brought along her sheepdog. Boomer did not care for him and jumped up and grabbed his throat and came down with a long grey mess of hair in his mouth. Looked just like Fumanchu. The sheepdog was not seen the rest of the weekend.
Dachshunds were bred to go down badger holes and deal with the badgers.
Dachshunds is the German name for the dogs and it meadns badger dogs.
They are routinely used for hunting in Germany.

She's quarantined for the time being because the vet found a place on her side that might be a bite wound but unlikely. She was a bad ass yesterday but when our grandson came to see her, she saw him and rolled over on her back for a belly rub.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ulsterman,
Our dogs are outside dogs, unless the weather is extreme. They have cover, food and water. If it gets bad they have access to the barn. If it gets extremely bad, they go to the heated garage.
Except for this one. She doesn't have enough meat on her ass to stay warm.
You should keep score on the barn. Coyote stencil, anyone? That's a good girl!

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

What a good looking dog!
Is she really only ten pounds? Hard to believe, as the demon cat that Paragon palmed off on me is by no means a large cat, and she is ten pounds and a few ounces.

Same here. We get about a dozen trains a day, and the coyote chorus unleashes, from all around in the desert (we're surrounded by state land), and sometimes even right down in the wash by our house. We've always had one dog (out of three) that barks at this, and at coyotes passing nearby. After a few weeks, it becomes Pavlovian. Our barker starts barking as soon as the whistle sounds, or even sometimes just hearing the train. It only last about 15 seconds.
