It's been a while since there has been a new Dachumercial making the rounds, but Dogster's Julia Szabo has put together this nice "how to understand the dog breed Dachshund" refresher. This of course begs the question: will we ever really understand the Dachshund?
Nice video - love HL Mencken quote. But I disagree strongly about doxies not smiling - my beautiful Maxie (who passed away this Sunday) smiled all the time. It was not a huge open-mouth grin like our other dog but his mouth was definitely turned up. We even had a neighbor who called him "Smiley". He was a very happy boy and I am heartbroken at his loss.
I also disagree about the smiling, my Ringo smiles all the time! In fact, I am going to email you with pictures of him doing just that! That woman obviously has never been owned by a dachshund, otherwise she would know better...
I thought that video was superficial and not particularly useful. Not enough footage of the breed and no info about back problems etc. The "smiling" bit was also annoying.
@impromptu - super sorry to hear about your boy Max. We know you loved him very much. We agree about this smiling! Joey always has a little "dolphin curl", and Maggie will even show her teeth when she smiles!!
