The general appearance should be a bright, indefinite coloration, which is considered especially useful in a hunting dog. WEIGHT Dachshunds in Germany are classified by weight as follows: Light-weight Dogs up to 16-1/2 lb., bitches up to 15-1/2 lb. Middle-weight Dogs up to 22 lb., bitches up to 22 lb. Heavy-weight Over 22 lb. Toys Up to 12 lb. The German pound is one-tenth more than the English.
Next door to him lived the dachshunds. The dachshunds were a marvel, a nuisance, a bone of contention, an anomaly, an accident, and a farce. They happened because somebody had once given the hostess a pair of them. I do not believe she cared particularly for them; but she is good natured, and the ranch is large, and they are rather amusing.
If they're that hard up for dogs, I'll be cornswizzled if I don't go myself!" Which he did. We did not want him; this was distinctly the dachshunds' party, and we did not care to have any one messing in. The Captain tried to drive him back. Mithradates Antikamia would not go. The Captain dismounted and tried force.
When this was done the two dachshunds, who had been lying on the rug spying out her every movement, began to jump upon her. But Julie laughed in their faces. "It's raining," she said, pointing to the window "raining! So there! Either you won't go out at all, or you'll go with John." John was the second footman, whom the dogs hated.
Sidney Woodiwiss, who at that period had the largest kennel of Dachshunds in England. "Ptero," as he was called, was a big, light red dog, with wonderful fore-quarters and great muscular development. He also possessed what is called a "punishing jaw" and rather short ears, and looked a thorough "business" dog. This dog became the favourite sire of his day and the fashionable colour.
The black and tan thereupon went quite out of favour, and this fact, coupled with the reckless amount of inbreeding of red to red that has been going on since Ptero's day, accounts largely for the prevalence of light eyes, pink noses, and bad-coloured coats of the Dachshunds, as a class, to-day. Of these we most usually find the first-named in England, and they are no doubt the original stock.
But he wasn't foxy enough to not sign G. S. down to the bottom of it and that stands for his name George Shaffer and he is the only G. S. in the Co. so it looks like we had him up in a tree. Here is what the letter says: "Field Marshall Van Hindenburg, c/o Die Vierten Dachshunds, Deutscher Armee, Flanders. 500,000 U. S. Soldaten schon in Frankreich doch.
In front of me fat blue lizards scuttled away, looking like little lilac-coloured dachshunds; silent brown snakes shot out of reach at the sight of my shadow; and every now and then, poking and grubbing like a hedgehog, behold a large tortoise out for prey like his brother reptiles. This domiciled the tortoise for me; otherwise I had only associated him with suburban gardens and the "Zoo."
After gazing on the phenomenon of their extraordinary build for some moments he remarked thoughtfully: "Those dogs have a mighty long wheel base!" For some reason unknown two of the dachshunds have been elevated from the ranks, and have house privileges. Their names are respectively Pete and Pup. They hate each other, and have sensitive dispositions.
Dachshunds for extreme courage and cleverness in showing up a dangerous nest of spies. Keefe was hit four times by large caliber shells before he could say surrender. He was decorated with the Order of the Schwarz Auge, the Order of the Rot Nase and the Order of the Blumenkohl Ohren, besides which a Right Cross was hung on his jaw.
