Miniature Dachshunds | Chloe | Odie | Molly

Dachshund Rescue Education and Mentoring (DREAM) needs your help. One of the biggest challenges they have today is to place 18 Dachshunds from a retiring breeder in a good home and family.
We would like to help, but we already have three cute Doxies and my wife would just kill me if I got another. […]

The Dachshund is a beautiful dog. The short, smooth clean lines and elongated shape is a characteristic that uniquely sets the breed apart from other dogs. You can quickly tell and identify, without question, that a dog is a “wiener dog.”
When Evelyn Morris Hecht approached me with the idea of using Odie as […]

Last week our house was painted by Eric Ortlieb, an excellent Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village Painter. His team of painters were in and out of the Doxie’s backyard causing the Dachshunds, especially Odie, to start barking.
Normally, I leave the curtains open, so the three can look outside while we’re working. But with the constant […]

It is sad day for Dachshund Owners around the world. Suzanne Pleshette, died today at the age of 70. She battled lung cancer and died of respiratory failure at her home on Saturday.
Ms. Pleshette, who stared in many movies and sitcoms, perhaps popularized the Dachshund in the late sixties when she stared as […]

Last few days the Three Doxies have been eating high on the hog, or may I say high on the chicken. Every so often they get treated with chicken breasts from Ralph’s supermarket.
It’s a simple recipe–just plop two or three frozen chicken breasts into a bowl, cover and defrost for 12 minutes. Then […]

Every six months or so, we stop in Solvang to pick up a few gifts, eat lots of Arnie’s Famous Aebleskivers and stop in next door at Berengaria to see what new Dachshund goodies to buy.
Besides the dachshund coffee cups, pillows, pictures, books, dachshund bank, they carry a really good line of women’s cloths. […]

We’re going on vacation and we’re planning to leave our Dachshunds home alone for about a week. Do you think they can hold it that long?
Actually, our Son is staying home alone with them so they should be fine… If he remembers to feed and water them and let them out to poddy…
I’m sure […]

For the second time within a month, one of our Dachshunds had an infected anal glad. This time, Chloe’s abscessed and nearly ruptured.
Unlike Odie, it was a complete surprise since she was acting normal until late Sunday night where she started hiding behind the downstairs toilet.
I knew exactly what it was from Odie’s recent […]

Going for a ride usually means we’re going to get something to eat or going to get something to play with. When I say “who wants to ride to ‘Smart?” the first Doxie that comes running is the one who gets to go and pick out the toy.
Needless to say, Chloe […]

The dogs are happy that we’re back at work this week. They can go back to their routine of sleeping all day long.
The past few days they didn’t know what to do with them selfs. As soon as it hit 9:00 PM, they were the first in bed and asleep before their heads […]
