    BR> When I was a kid growing up, the lady across the street was a Dachshund   
    BR> breeder.  She would keep the best of them to Show, and then sell the   
    BR> others.  Anyways, that meant there were always a pile of Daschund   
    BR> puppies to play with, so it was a blast to go to her place.  When I got   
    BR> a little older she would pay me to walk her dogs to give them exercise.   
    BR>  That was fun too, those long-dogs like to go off on their own.    
      
     That they do. They're also stubborn (hard to housebreak), but they're   
   very loyal to their owners.    
      
     A few months after we had brought the second dachshund home (we had to   
   have the first one put down, due to failing health), we took him back to   
   visit the breeder...and he had "a Viagra moment" ...basically wanting   
   to be the dominant male. The look on his face was like "Daddy!! I have a   
   problem!! Will you help me fix it??". I was so red, and it was like "Hell,   
   No!!" . When I told my wife and the breeder (who was 35 years older   
   than me to the day!!) about it, they were roaring in laughter.     
      
     Both of them are dead and gone now, and I re-homed the second one the   
   day my wife died.   
      
     This couple I know have a spoiled dachshund, and when he hears my voice   
   on the phone, he starts barking...as if to demand to know WHY I'm not   
   over there!!
