@@bigmikedugan3 They love to tunnel so mine is always under the covers with me. They LOVE to eat and are stubborn but so loyal and loving. Mine got me through the death of my hubby and loves to be with me. They learn English very well it seems especially eat, food, bite, cheese, etc.
I was at the finals and going into the BIS round, the popular audience favorite was "Bean," a Sussex Spaniel that we had watched compete and win his group earlier in the evening. When "Burns," who had won the night before and was largely unfamiliar to the audience, entered the ring for Best In Show, the crowd was instantly charmed and went nuts for him and it was soon seen as a battle between the two long-haired, low-riders. When "King," the Wire Fox Terrier, who was a gorgeous and very charming dog, took Best In Show, the audience was audibly displeased. I felt bad for King. He is a very good boy!
I felt like those of us who like big dogs were robbed. The Bloodhound, the Black and Tan, and my favorite the Irish Wolf Hound barely seem to get any attention.
As a Dachshund owner I cried tears for the winner in the Hound Group Burns. Finally this breed won and like the handler, breeder and owner said they are the best breed
Dachshunds rule! Go, Team Doxie, go! My Willy, Penny, Schatz, Josie, and Magoo(foster) agree! Anyone else think the MC sounds like John Kasich? What a western PA/Pittsburgh accent! It sounds as if he pronounces the breed as Datsun. lol
I thought Dachsunds were split by coat but not by size so standard and mini long hairs show alongside each other, so it just seems all three coat varieties were won by a standard sized dog this year.
@@ajgensel9359 they are split in 6 classes, as they say in the video, actually 9 here in Europe as we have an even smaller type called the Rabbit Dachshund that is smaller than the miniature. But no matter the size or coat, they all follow the same standard and is judged by the same standard and description etc. And so all Dachshunds should be judged in the Hound group. :-/ so weird not to see the miniature ones. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait to see Crufts Dog Show in March, were the judging is done correctly :-)
@@ingerabrams4569 no, they are a Hound-breed and should be judged longside the standard one, as they all follow the exact same breed standard no matter coat or size. A big error not including the miniature dachshund on such a big show :-( At least at Crufts Dog show in March, they do it right. Look it up on RU-vid : Crufts Hound Group, and you will see and hear them saying the very same thing about it being the same dog, only comes in different suits.
@@l0n3wolf89 I didn't say they DON'T show miniature Dachshunds but that miniatures compete along side standards for Group placement. So that you may see a miniature in the Hound Group or a Standard, they are separated by coat variety only and both sizes may turn up in Group. Check AKC Westminster Breed Results on their website. Each dog that enters the Group ring can be found and unlike the Non Sporting Group where Poodles are separated by height, Dachshunds are only separated by Long, Short or Wire Coat.
They weren’t kidding when they said not to expect to get your hound to listen to everything you say. My Bluetick Beagle has worse selective hearing than a teenager.
Outterhounds. However, they only show what they want to show. The same with information about each breed. You would think that "AKC" would give equal time to all the breeds. Beautiful dogs there. It's like having "Miss America on and only showing half the contestants.
Norwegian Elkhound is the best family dog you could ever ask for, and the most versatile breed in the world, ideally suited for any task you set for it.
I heard of a bloodhound that tracked a stolen vehicle more than 20 miles, with a baby in the back seat! So what the handler did was at every exit off the interstate they would drive to the stop sign let the dog out and he would run across the road and down the entrance ramp back onto the freeway. Load him back into the car onto the next exit. This went on for 20 miles. Then at this one exit the dog headed right at the stop sign running down the road for half a mile and took a left down a drive way and brought the officers right to the stolen vehicle with the kidnapped baby. That's one incredible nose. To tell you the truth I can't remember if the person who stole the vehicle even knew there was an infant in the back seat! I've never forgot this story.
Yea, Burns!! There are actually dachshunds in three (3) sizes, not just two (2). Standard, miniature (German = Zwerg), and "teacup" (German = Kaninchen). I have one of each.
Not according to the German Dachshund Federation: Dachshund Kurzhaar Langhaar Rauhaar Zwerg-Dachshund Kurzhaar Langhaar Rauhaar Kaninchen-Dachshund Kurzhaar Langhaar Rauhaar And - like I said - I've got one of each. My miniature is mixed, but both my standard and "Kaninchen" have their papers/are registered.
The AKC only recognizes 2 sizes of doxies: miniature and standard. Therefore, you will not find a toy or "teacup" dachshund shown at Westminster because they aren't recognized by the AKC as a separate size. Teacup doxies are just bred (often poorly, unfortunately) to be that size because people love a tiny dog.
@@lindsaymarchell1609 She's saying in Germany they come in three recognized sizes that are allowed to be and are shown. Teckel (Standard), ZwergTeckel (Mini), and Kaninchen (Rabbit). The Kaninchen can be as small as a Chihuahua. Ohh and Dachshunds are even their own group in Germany and each coat type & size is considered their own separate breed as well. So in a German show You'd have The Dachshund Group then you'd have Teckel Smooth (Kurhaar), Teckel Wire (Rauhaar), Teckel Longhair (Langhaar), ZwergTeckel Smooth, ZwergTeckel Long, Zwergteckel Wire, Kaninchen Smooth, Kaninchen Long, Kaninchen Wire.
The long haired dachshund was too fine in build i think. The shorthaired was more the real dachshund shape standard. I also think the long haired hair was too fine also and wasnt thick enough
I don’t understand why the handlers smack the dog, and then give them zero room to jog. Communicate better with the dog so it doesn’t get its neck yanked, and relax the lead. Tension in the lead makes the dog uncomfortable and nervous. I would never be able to let another person handle my Rottweilers. Go ahead and drag him, and then smack him, he’s still not going to do way you said. Makes zero sense.
