See Teckel Short hair

The name Teckel Dachhund comes from German (dachs) badger (hund) dog but in Germany, its country of origin, the breed is known as the Teckel." Early German documents from the 16th century refer to predecessors of the Teckel Dachshund dog, a little "earth dog", "badger digger." Often hunted in packs, they were bred for hunting ferocious badgers (in Europe) and would follow them right into their underground burrows, drag them out and kill them. The original Dachshunds were smooth coated. The Longhaired Dachshund came later, followed by the Wirehaired variety near the end of the 18th century. The first Teckel stud book was created in Germany in 1890 and it referred to Smooth, Wirehaired and Longhaired Dachshund or Long Hair Teckel Dachshund dog varieties. The working ability of the Teckel Dachshund dog is paramount and thus its size and structure are chiefly functional. Miniature Dachshund varieties came later.Miniature Dachshund: 11 lbs. (5 kg) & under. Height Mini: 5 - 6 in. (12.7 - 15.2 cm) at withers . Standard Teckel Dachshund : over 11 lbs. (usually 16 - 32 lbs.).Height Standard: 8 - 9 in. (20.3 - 22.9 cm) at withers.Watchdog: Excellent. Other Name: Teckel. Life Expectancy: 12 - 14 years .

The Long hair Dachshund or Long haired Dachshund has distinctive long, silky hair, soft, sleek and glistening, and often slightly wavy. It should be longer under the neck, on the underside of the body, and especially on the ears, and behind the legs, becoming there a pronounced feather, and attaining its greatest length on the underside of the tail. The coat gives the Long haired Dachshund an elegant appearance. His gracefully carried tail is a prolongation of the spine and forms a veritable flag.Dachshund dogs are clever, lively and courageous even to the point of rashness, definitely not shy. Their beautypoise and alert attitude gives an edge at the dog shows. They make fun-loving active pets whose daily physical and mental exercise needs, while not excessive, should never be neglected. A Longhaired Dachshund puppy or adult, on an unrestricted diet, and not enough exercise will become fat. Their long backs are prone to disc problems, known as the Teckel Dachshund back problem, thus overweight dogs are at risk. They are happy in the country where they can hu nt, but adapt well to urban life. They are often vocal. Leaving them unattended outdoors is not neighborly.

The three different coat types, make six different varieties.

Just for the Fun of It

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like! Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause

your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out

and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!

No Dogs Allowed.

A guy wanted to take his Dachshund into a restaurant with him, so he put on dark glasses
and "tapped" his way into the establishment.
The waiter said "Hey!, you can't bring a dog in here."
The man indignantly claimed "I'm blind! ... this is my Seeing Eye dog!"
"You're trying to tell me" said the waiter, "that this Weener is a Seeing Eye dog?"
"What???!!", cried the man, "they gave me a Dachshund?"

HEAVEN KNOWS

A man and his dog were walking along a road.

The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along
one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate
in the arch that looked like mother of pearl,
and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer,
he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" The man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" The traveler

asked.

"I'm sorry; sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward
the road and continued the way he had been going.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill,
he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.
There was no fence. As he approached the gate,
he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" He called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place
that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" The traveler gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl
and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward
the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.

"What do you call this place?" The traveler asked.

"This is heaven," was the answer.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.
"The man down the road said that was heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the Gold Street and pearly gates? Nope.

That's hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so,
but we're just happy that they screen out the folks
who'll leave their best friends behind."
