| The Canadian
Dachshund Lovers Page was inspired by The Western Dachshund
Club. They hold events of interest to all
Dachshund Owners in British Columbia, and Western Canada. The
Western Dachshund Club also hosts an Annual
Championship Specialty Show in October at the Tradex
Centre in Abbotsford, BC, and a fun day, "Dachshund
Picnic and Wiener Walk" for all Dachshunds on the
second Sunday in August at Winskill Park in Tsawassen,
Delta, BC. I'm your host,
Bob Brennert.

Finding a Dachshund If you're hoping to find a Dachshund posted here available in your area, you might be waiting a quite a while. Please contact a local breeder on my Canadian Breeders page, that is available on the inside pages.

2011 Wiener Walk The 2012 Wiener Walk and Dachshund Picnic will be the second Sunday in August. It's a long way off, but do keep it in mind. In 2011 we had 150 dogs registered! Next year maybe more!
Pictures
from the 2011 event. If you have questions about the picnic, please E-mail Karen Brunner of the Western Dachshund Club at barkerville@shaw.ca.  In
the tooting your own horn department (or dog in this case), my
two dogs (Toby & Spencer) are now online on YouTube. There's
currently six videos of them. You can see the vids by
following the links below:Toby Plays with his Favourite Rope Toby Does Tricks for Cookies Toby in "Dead Dogs Don't Wag Tails" Spencer in "Hypno Dog" Spencer in "Vacuum Hunter" Spencer in "Small Light, Dim Dog" ...More to come |

) Have
you heard the news?.... Well Monopoly has branched out into
various genres and has even taken to Dachshunds. Dachshund-opoly
has your game pieces paying the part of our favourite pals as
they run and dig around the board. Be sure you don't end up in
the "Kennel"!Your kids always putting dirty dishes into a clean dishwasher? Well I may have a solution for you. This little Dachshund featured magnet can be used to let the kids know if the dishwasher is clean or not. Whether or not they pay attention to it is your problem. ) I'm
still trying to figure out where this is... Google Maps is of
no use whatsoever!There is Hot Dog Street in Fayetteville, NC and in Frankfort, IN. You'll find a Hot Dog Lane in Beulaville, NC and there's a Hot Dog Road in Greene, ME. A Sausage Road is in, Fairplay, KS. Washington-Chappell Hill, TX sports a Sausage Ln. And finally there's a Sausage Lane in Lexington, SC. None of them the intersect. The TV show Animal Attractions did a feature on Dachshunds, but you most likely missed it. Thank goodness Al Gore invented the Internet and someone else invented You Tube! In the "What Are They Thinking" department... The Diver Training Center at Vladivostok Maritime College Russia carried out an unusual experiment for the 15th anniversary of the college. The divers persuaded the center’s director, Sergei Gorbunov, to send his pet dachshund, Boniface, into the depths.  The dog-motivated divers made a striped diving suit for Bonnie, as they fondly call the dog. They made a square mask out of Plexiglas thinking the dog may want to breathe under water. I'm not too sure the dog is happy about this. |
){kind=small} I
love these little guys. Might just have to gets a set for my
lovely bride for Christmas! I
keep finding really cool little graphics of Doxies. This little
one is one of my favourites.(Touched up a bit though.) We've all see those black framed posters all about ) motivation,
teamwork, dedication, etc... And now I found one for
Dachshunds.
Sad Really.From the book "Ghost Stories of the Pacific Northwest" by Margaret Read MacDonald: According to the Spokesman Review in Walla Walla Washington: Marsha Moore had proof her house was haunted when her Dachshund dog Gretchen ran up the stairs and then take to the air. "She just started floating and then it was like something threw here back down the stairs". Yikes!  Tired
of paying to much for dog treats. There's nice little site that
has doggie treat recipes.Do you need help training your Dachshund. They're are stubborn and easily distracted. This website might just help a bit... Good Luck. ) One
day while shopping for dog food I spotted this display at a local
pet store for dog doors. It's Interesting to think that Doxies
would require a dog door... Mine use a cat door! But don't tell
them it's for cats. Oh the shame of it!Mean while in New York a cabbie has no idea why people are laughing at his taxi cab. |
We know Picasso had a Dachshund called Lump (poor thing) which he
painted many times. He didn't actually paint the dog, he painted a
likeness of the dog onto canvas. But did you know he even painted
it onto a
kitchen
plate?) It
never ceases to amaze me just how many porcelain Dachshunds there
are. Every trip to the Internet uncovers another... Generally
they're said to have originated from China.Have you see the book "Buddy the Wiener Dog" by Dianne Hendry? It's cute little story ){kind=small} about
Buddy (the dog) and the world around him. It's also available for
Kindle. But be sure you have a colour Kindle as the illustrations
are half the fun.You Tube is full of Wiener Dogs doing funny things, including my own. But I found a cool video of a Doxie running in ultra slow motion. ) Speaking
of books, just like the link to the left,
Vince Stead has book that goes a bit more depth than the site.
It's The "How to Understand and Train your Dachshund Puppy or Dog
Guide Book."
It's available online, but only for Kindle.With a need for two ne dog crates I headed of to pet store after pet store and finally ended up at Wal-Mart. There I found an inexpensive crate for $22 and it features a Dachshund as the selling point. It was fate. ) Got
a birthday card in 2010 that had me laughing. Can't understand why
I never thought of it myself. You'll get it when you see it....You can just hear the music and the words. |

The 
What/Who
is Wienerdogs? Well, the Wienerdogs site has
been on the Web since 1997, however it started out as
www.dachshund.bc.ca. The site started out as just a fun thing to
do but quickly grew into what you see here today. I'm
continually updating the page as time permits, and all the new
stuff shows up on this page,
