Artist
David Kong did a wonderful job of his artistic
impressions of Dachshunds. They're bright, cheery and
capture the Dachshund spirit well.

And
speaking of art, it never ceases to amaze me how an
artist can reflect the sole of a dachshund, but they
do. Gladys Emerson Cook (1899-1976) did just that in
this pencil drawing from 1962 in her book titled
"A Book of Dogs". Just look at the bigger dogs
eyes.

Using
suar wood, Ketut Widen, Bali artist carved this near
realistic Dachshund. I think the nose is a bit off.
Do you have lots of time on your hands? And are you
good with your hands? Then you might want to give this
throw pillow a try!

Well known European artist Tito published a set of
pencil sketches of dogs in the 1930s that included a couple
Dachshund sketches as well. If We Could Only Vote and
Now No Tricks On Mame.

While there is lots of art on my Wiener Dogs website, I'm
constantly amazed how much of it there is out there. Have you
seen Giacomo Balla's Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash from 1912?)
Well
this is definitely one of the most curious corn-on-the-cob
holders I have ever seen. Can't picture it?

What if you were in Japan and saw a Dachshund; what would you call it? Well the sound you would speak is: Dacks-hand! But writing it is another matter altogether!

Getting
just a bit silly this Doxie was the victim of an over zealous
computer artist with to much time their hands.
Clothing optional? We've
all seen printed T-shirts with Dachshunds on them, but
what about socks?

You know... They can
cast just about anything in cast iron. But way about a
Dachshund dinner bell? Or how about a general purpose
Dachshund cast to put on just about anything. Buy
them online.

The English are known for producing fine bone
china. But in this case they've made a bone china
thimble with a Dachshund print on it!
One thing I haven't really addressed on my site so far is Dachshund
Jewelry. Not that I have a bias, it's more that so much of it is
very cheezy. This one claims to have real
Swarovski Crystal in
it! Oooooo.)
I
keep finding, but would never have thought that so many advertisers
would have used Dachshunds in their ads. But dog food
ads some how seem appropriate. Try 1951 Red Heart Dog
Food, 1953 Pard Dog Food and even 1955 Friskies! Look
for more throughout the site. Like this one, also from
1953.

Speaking
for Cheezy... I found this silly clock in a junk shop.

From the Harmony Ball collection, an Oxford Graduation Dachshund. It it
ugly or is it just me? Is your Dachshund clean? If not you can try some
Dachshund soap?)
Early
graphic artists in Germany created many posters and
signs that featured the popular German dog. This one
from 1923 was created by Ludwig Hohlwein who made more than one-thousand posters of German Gebrauchsgraphik (commercial art).

Did you know that in the UK in 1937,
W.D. & H.O. Wills Ltd.
introduced a series of collector cards called "Dogs of the
World" to help sell cigarettes? There were 50 in
the set and this one, #12, was done by dog artist Arthur Wardle. Have the other similar card elsewhere on the
site?

It
seems like every time I visit a used book store I find
another cute Dachshund book. From 1966, "Sounds
of Numbers", uses cute Dachshunds to help children
count things throughout the book. It was written and
edited by Bill Martin Jr.
In
the 1995 movie Welcome to the Dollhouse, the character
Missy Wiener is referred to as "Wiener Dog!"
Watch out though, it's rated R.

So
you find yourself in Paris France with your little friend and
you're touring the Rodin
Museum. What do you do with your
dog?
