Brighton Sausage Meet - another great turnout
Another great turnout for the Brighton and Hove area monthly Sausage Meet in bright sunshine, although a little cold in the shade. I would guestimate there was around 60+ daxies of all varieties, plus a couple of honorary dachshunds. It was a lovely couple of hours seeing all our furry friends and a few who are especially close to our hearts, plus good chats with all their human staff ! Haha. For those in our area the Sausage Meet is held the first Sunday of every month at 1


Dachshund Village (1957)
Found this lovely, but brief, historical clip from Pathe News, concerning the South German village of Gergweis in Lower Bavaria, which is apparently where the dachshund breed originally came from. Enjoy :)


Pyometra in dogs
What is Pyometra and how do you deal with it? Important information to know from an excellent source and includes conventional and alternative treatments. I'll add a summary and the link into the Health page shortly, so we have a permanent record of it for future reference.

Just how mad about Dachshunds are you?
If you are reading this post, then you are probably already Dachshund Mad! But just in case you are sitting on the fence, let's just take in a quote from Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, who rightfully said:


Launch Day - we all love our dogs, but some of us are Dachshund Mad!
Launch of a new website Dachshund Mad! All things relating to dachshunds, weiners, sausage dogs, teckels or whatever you wish to call them.
