This is especially true of Dachshunds, and it requires an expert to pick the best puppy of a litter at a month or two old, and even he may be at fault unless the puppy is exceptionally well reared. To rear Dachshund puppies successfully you must not overload them with fat give them strengthening food that does not lay on flesh.
Perhaps a few words about the architecture of the little dog might not come amiss. He was built somewhat on the lines of the German renaissance, being low and rakish like a dachshund, but with just a little more freeboard than the dachshund. His legs were straight instead of bowed, as are those of his distinguished German cousin.
And she dashed in among the dogs, slapping right and left, while a facetious dachshund seized the tattered bit of lace and muslin and fled at top speed. "That is pleasant," observed Nina; "it's her best hat, too worn to-day in your honour, Boots. . . . Children! Hands and faces! There is Bridget waiting!
'No, you would be ill-advised' said Robert, looking with a bitter little smile at the sleek dachshund that sat blinking beside its mistress. 'But what is the agent about? Then Robert told her the story, not mincing his words.
The dachshund gave a sigh and flopped down on the path, and the kitten began a toilet for want of better employment. Renata, who had stood aside during the small domestic storm, gazed at her violets gravely as if she were counting them. Nevil watched her contentedly and did not observe the trouble in her face.
On another day, my dachshund "Toby" was brought to see him. For no one loved or understood the ways of dogs better. He greatly enjoyed "the poor fellow's bent legs," rather a novelty then, and at last with a loud laugh: "He is Sir Toby! no longer Toby. Yes my dear friend he must be Sir Toby henceforth." He had knighted him on the spot!
At this point they were reinforced by a yellow dachshund who, with wildly flapping ears, and at that caricature of a gallop peculiar to his kind, joined himself to the hunters. "Glory be to Mercy!" exclaimed Patsey, "the misthress's dog!"
As Gissing moved through the busy departments he saw eyes following him, tails wagging. Customers were more flattered than ever by his courteous attentions. One day he even held a little luncheon party in the restaurant, at which Mrs. Dachshund, Mrs. Mastiff, and Mrs. Sealyham were his guests. He invited their husbands, but the latter were too busy to come.
The ears of the little dogs bred for ladies' laps are the curls of a mother's darling; the pendant love-locks of the old, old maid who, despite of changeful fashions, clings to those memorials of the pensive beauty of her youth, are repeated in solemn mimicry by the dachshund trotting at her heels; but the sensible fur cap of the dignified Newfoundland reminds us of the cold regions from which his forefathers came.
"That's quite true," said Caldegard. "Remember Melchard, Amy?" Dick Bellamy caught the quiver of disgust which passed over the girl's face before she answered. "Horrible person!" she said. "Trixy bit him, the dachshund next door always ran away from him, and Gorgon had to be chained up." "Who is this Melchard, Caldegard?" asked Randal.
