Well, maybe I’m stretching it with the fabulous part, little trouble making doxies! I’ve been talking to my friend Boomer about getting together for a fun session with her husband Brett and their posse of dachshunds. We finally found an afternoon that worked so off I went for a visit.
Now with Jack Russell terriers living in my house, we are used to alot of bouncing around and not alot of lounging around. I’ve got to tell you, even though dachshunds were bred to hunt badger way back when, if it’s time to relax that’s just what they do!
They are such a happy go lucky breed, I can see why Boomer & Brett have such a collection of them. I can’t speak for all five of their furry dogs but I know many of them are rescue dogs and for that I give them alot of credit. These dachshunds didn’t all come from wonderful beginnings and took some work to socialize them. But you wouldn’t know it by their behavior today, they are such loveable dogs with their own great personalities.
Zoe, rescued as an adult, sadly came from a puppy mill. Well this girl always places in the ribbons at the annual Missouri Earthdogs Trial held each May at Purina Farms. She loves the go-to-ground event and always does well every time. Even with her age and hearing almost gone, Zoe’s nose still works and finds the quarry at the end of the tunnel every time!
It was a great day to hang with my friends. You two are such a sweet and down to earth couple. Thanks guys, I loved every minute of it!
