Sunsong visit

Today, we met Sue & Ian, custodians of the Sunsong line of Dachshunds, as well as their two pairs of dogs – two standard wirehaired and two miniature smooth.

We’re now convinced we should get just one dog to start with (to ease ourselves into the idea of training) and that it should be a standard wirehaired (not that the smooths weren’t cuties too!).

Here’s a picture of Ruiha with three of them!

Wiretap

We’re off to visit sunsong at the weekend, to meet some wirehaired dachshunds.

We’ve never seen the wirehaired variety “in real life” before, but like the look of them in the books, plus there’s been some good recommendations regarding temperament etc. Fingers crossed all goes well, which means we’ve identified the variety of one of our pair!

Photos to follow…

Teckeldrive – the quest for the dachshunds

We’re aiming to find Dachshunds in time to have them integrated in our family by the end of October.

Working backwards, that means they’ll be born no later than end of July (giving 8 weeks with mother before they get to come home with us!), meaning they’ll be conceived ~ end of May, or NOW!

Our task then is to find some breeders so we can put our names down on their waiting lists.

A subtask first however is to decide the type of Dachshund – smooth/short, long haired or wire haired…

The Teckeldrive is on…!
