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 Re website updates... So you may be wondering why there have not been many updates of the site. Our family have seen the passing of our two great dogs; Rummy and Ginny. there's not a day goes by that I do not think about them. I simply have not had the heart to carry on with the site. In the good news department, I hope to have a new dog in September: Dessert Fox, from a very lovely lady I met at the Dachshund Picnic! Thank you Donna for allowing me to once again experience all the wonder that is Dachshund! If you have some Dachshund News, send it to me at bbrennert@shaw.ca Dachshund Sightings On a trip to Brazil, I thought I might see one or two Dachshunds due to the German influence. Well it was far worse than I thought! Nine Dachshund sightings on the first day in Rio. Go figger. |

Looking for a great costume idea for your next Dachshund Picnic or wiener dog function?... If so, try this one out. A funny surprise awaited me when I arrived at my sister's
home on a lake in BC.
A heart warming story came out of West Vancouver in July 2010
when Honey, a long haired Dachshund got lost and was then found
after what could only be described as a
true ordeal. Have you ever heard of a wiener dog draft dodger? It makes
more sense when you see the
picture.
I think the Dachshund should have been worth a lot more! At least they're worth more than a bag of money. And there's also a video slot called Hot Dawg. I saw it once but didn't have a camera with me record the visuals. Is your dog well traveled? OiOi (Oy-Oy) was born here in BC. Moved to Japan, then to Australia! On August 18th, she turned 18 years old! |
Thirsty?
Got Beer? And in keeping with the moving picture theme as above, a
Dachshund called Mr. Deeds showed up on the TV show "The
New Adventures of Old Christine".
In the "How do you say that" department, Dachshund is:
Generally I hate shopping. I prefer to get in, get what
I need and get out. But sometimes you discover a great little gem
that has not even for sale.
Ezra Jack Keats has a dachshund character called Willie in
his famous book A Snowy Day. In Prospect Park Brooklyn, New
York, In the area called imagination Playground, based on the
characters from Keats’s books, the centerpiece is a much
More book stuff over

Have you ever turned your attention
away from your dog for just a second and then found him/her
doing the
unexpected? Alison MacInnis, Actress in the TV show Veronica Mars was once asked: "Is there any particular charity or movement you'd like us to learn more about"? The reply: "Preserving the wild dachshund herds roaming Southeast Asia, totally worthy movement".
I just doesn't make any sense! Dachshunds on the cover of the December 12th, 1955 Sports Illustrated magazine. Could this be the coveted Dachshund Racing edition? In the 1932 Merrie Melodies Goopy Gear animated short "Moonlight for Two", Goopy and his gal start dancing and many more join in. A dachshund drinks liquor so potent it burns away part of his torso leaving him much shorter than his dancing partner. Well at least I think they are Dachshunds. Look for it at 4:45.
Have you ever thought of having your own Dachshund/Wiener Dog website?
I have web domains www.wienerdogs.ca and www.wienerdogs.info and they are for sale. Let me know if you're interested. Schnitzel von Krumm is a Doxie in the Hairy Maclary series of children's picture books by Lynley Dodd. The newest release is "Dogs Never Climb Trees". Well especially with those little, short legs! Amazon.ca will have it. |

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,
