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 Winskil Park in Tsawassen,
Delta, BC.
I'm your host,
Bob Brennert.

Dachshund News and Events From Linda Collie: If you have some Dachshund News, send it to me at bbrennert@shaw.ca Dachshund Sightings In a new Suzuki Grand Vitara commercial, a tough mountain climber meets a Dad while climbing. The Dad has a child in a backpack, and Dachshund in a harness by his side. The dogs looks unimpressed with the situation. There's also a new Iam's dog food commercial that features a bunch of dogs. Near the beginning we see a Dachshund Puppy playing. |
And only since January 2006 did I resort to advertising to help offset the costs of running the site. Other than that, I (only one guy) take care of everything.

web page about it
Johnny Depp may be a famous actor now, but on 14 September 1994,
at 5am, ensconced with his new girlfriend Kate Moss in the
$500-a-night Mark Hotel, East 77th Street, New York, he was
inadvertently dragged into a violent and destructive incident.
"I'll tell you what happened," Depp says earnestly. "I was
sitting on the couch in my hotel room, when a really big
dachshund jumped out of the closet. I felt it was my duty to
retrieve this animal, so I chased it for 20 minutes, but it
wouldn't cooperate. Finally it dived out of the window. And
there I was, stuck with the evidence.", referring to the smashed
up furniture and room.

This original antique print is from the renowned "The Book of
The Dog", published by
Believe it or not... The Blue Jay Inn on the Pacific Highway,
WA between Seattle and Tacoma in the 1930s had a illustrated
general menu, die-cut in the shape of a dachshund. The orange
paper cover states "Original home of the 12 inch hot dog";
inside is a hot dog menu. The folder also had die cut white
paper insert (same Dachshund shape) with a "Fountain Specials"
menu. So have you seen YouTube yet? It's full of Dachshund videos! Check this one out of two dogs play fighting. |

Hi Bob, I just Googled Dachshunds and
found your great website! |
|
||||||||||
What/Who
is Wienerdogs.org? Well, the Wienerdogs.org 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, so keep an eye on it! And here's a
small tip: Most of the links have pop-up pictures, so if you
have a popup killer, you should disable it before proceeding.
How
Low Can You Go? Well the Calgary Low Riders Club is trying to
find out. If you live in the Calgary area, look 'em up:

place with a lot of weird info. And this doesn't surprise me a
bit:

Did
Einstein have anything to do with Dachshunds? Well maybe not,
but there's a video series for preschoolers called "Baby

count to the number five. Here's a few video screen shots:
