Dachshund Figurines

Posted on 19 November 2009. Tags: dachshund gifts, dachshunds, figurines, Solvang

We added “Roxie Doxie” to our Dachshund Figurine collection last weekend during our shopping spree the little Danish tourist town of Solvang. Solvang is about the only place where you can shop and find glass and porcelain dog figurines of all sorts of breeds.

Of course, we are biased towards the Dachshund since we have three of them. Plus we sorta miss our dogs when were away from home and always find one that looks like Chole or Odie to keep us company during the trip. I’ve never seen one that looks like Molly since she is by far prettier than most long red haired Dachshund figurines (even with her knots and tangles in her fur).

From the looks of it, the great recession hit the local economy real hard and most stores were having sales on everything. The typical comment a store owner would state was “20% off store-wide sale.”

Unfortunately at Rasmussen’s, where we picked up “Roxie,” they were not having a sale. But she was cute an my wife liked her. (Now Roxie is in my office instead of my wife’s full curio cabinet.)

At Berengaria, they didn’t have the normal Dachshund gifts and only had Pug and Chiwawa things to buy. We’ve purchase the most unusual and unique Doxie things from there and I recommend stopping by just to see what they have or even if it is to say “hello.”

It’s hard to tell when the next time we’re heading up there but you never know, Christmas is just around the corner and there is always someone in my family that likes Dachshund figurines.
