Dachshund Pictures | Rescue Dog Murray

Remember Dexter, the dachshund?

He was another of our horse barn's rescue dogs.

Detective Brindle Chiweenie is going to help us investigate.

Watch her sniff for clues.

OMD! It's a Dexter impostor!

No, wait. It's Dexter's new brother, a new among many rescue dogs.

Allow me to introduce you to Murray.

Welcome you lucky fellow.

You've no idea yet as to how awesome your new home is.

Lucky dog, Murray, has a fantastic forever home, with lots of furry siblings, dog food on his plate and frequent trips to our horse barn where he can get his exercise and a variety of dog treats including horse poo. He's going to need to work hard at this socialization skills though, as he's a bit of a biter. He's improving every day!

Dachshund Pictures | Piebald Dachshund

I have quite a fondness for doxies. In my opinion they are one of the most expressional and comical breeds. I'm acting tough, because I have the teacup chihuahua reputation to live up to, but I'm nuts over the miniature dachshund puppy, Tanya. She's only 2.5 months old, and I'm looking forward to watch her develop into a fine young lady. And without further ado . . .

Miniature piebald dachshund pictures! Because dachshund puppies are irresistible!

Beautiful Tanya

All puppies play hard until they can't keep their heads up

They fall asleep in all sorts of interesting positions

On a cold night, feel free to stick your miniature doxie in an equestrian helmet bag

The comedian

I hope you enjoyed today's edition of doxie cuteness. As for my sister, Frankie, the brindle chiweenie, she's "working" tonight. She's going to be assisting other doggies trying to get their AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. One of those puppies is Roxie, our brindle boston terrier friend. Good luck to the chiweenie and good luck to all the hopefuls. May you all grow up to become the best service dogs.

Doxie N' Boots

This post is dedicated to my new friend, Tanya, the four-month-old piebald dachshund cutie  pie. Since we're at a horse show and surrounded by tall and dangerous riding boots, you get the boots too, in other words: doxie n' boots.

Why would this sweet girl need a forever home? Why did she join the rest of us rescue dogs? Because people breed more dogs than they should. It all comes down to the supply and demand theory. We've seen the pounds, we've seen the euthanasia rates, and we all know the truth. Please spay and neuter your pets.

Off to meet Tanya at the horse show grounds now. We're going to play like there's no tomorrow, since we're all going home later today.

Horse Barn Prisoners

At our horse barn, we take in rescue dogs and then we . . . imprison them! Okay, maybe not exactly like that. We do on occasion place an unruly pack behind bars though. An unruly pack is a group of dogs that is not horse savvy and may endanger themselves, the horseback rider's safety, and even the horse's soundness. The doxie-pack would like to demonstrate using, for the most part, dachshund pictures.

Funny, but if you think about it, these guys are all doxies except for the gremlin look-alike on the far left. We don't know what creature that is.

"Ugh, not the horse stall again!"

"Can we at least have some dog treats?"

"As soon as our mommy is done with her horseback riding lessons, we'll be free again, and then we'll show all of you who teased us!"

"I'm a teacup chihuahua and I'm not being taken as a prisoner. Not now, not ever."

A few short days later, the prisoners were released and got their dog treats and some carrots.

Dachshund Pictures | P.T. Goes To China

Another glorious day at the horse barn with my rescue dog pals and the horses...Aaah, that's the life. This particular outing, I was rather taken by my friend, P.T.'s digging attempts. Let me share my dachshund pictures with you.

Doxie working hard

What's that red stuff off to the side?

And digging

A doxie's dedication

More red stuff, hmm

The red blur was P.T.'s brother, Nathan the horse

Special guest appearance by Dexter the doxie

supervising his lil' bro

P.T. unperturbed continues with his digging expedition and hopes to reach China sometime soon

Making progress at last!

Welcome back to the United States of America

Passport, license, and registration please

The sad part was that P.T. needed and got a bath after this photo sequence. It's a shame that he didn't learn anything from his brother's dog training tips.

Dachshund Pictures vs. Teacup Chihuahua Pictures

Gorgeous Dexter, the doxie, has a beautiful brother, named P.T., also a doxie, and they are both rescue dogs that I get to play with every time I visit the horse barn. Apparently dachshunds photograph better than tiny teacup chihuahuas, ugh. Here's the proof.

Teacup Chihuahua Pictures

I rest my case. Dachshund pictures beat teacup chihuahua photos hands down.

Dachshund Pictures | Dog Training Tips

It's obvious that my family and I are crazy about Dexter the doxie and we can't get enough. Today, I want to post his sweet dachshund pictures demonstrating step by step how he spends his day at the horse barn.

He enjoys grazing with his horse and his doxie brother, PT

He supervises PT's expeditions to China

He's always on the alert and watches over his horse

or under in this case

He's big on sunbathing, but I don't know why

He's already tan

He takes time to stop and smell the rails

He hangs out with the horse barn's brat pack

All rescue dogs

[Two dachshund puppies and a gremlin/chihuahua mix]

He sunbathes some more

And here are Dexter's dog training tips

Dog training tip 1: play dead possum and lie still

Dog training tip 2: wait for the barn socks

Ta-da! What do you know? Once more Dexter the doxie was airlifted to his limo. I would try it myself if I dared. With M being so forgetful though, it's a risk. Feel free to try it and give us your feedback. 

Dexter pictures over

(for now)

It's a rescue dog's life, but somebody's got to live it. Happy Mother's Day!

Dachshund Pictures | What Happened to Dexter?

No, not the HBO Dexter. We all know what happened to him. *Sigh* He married his television show sister in real life, thus breaking M's heart. I'm talking about Dexter the doxie, the one who managed to get me to engage in play. Let me shed some light to my question by posting a series of dachshund pictures.

Scheming Dexter

Slowly putting the plan in effect

No worries, this doxie know what he's doing

Stop staring at the wee wee

Bare with me, there's a lesson to be learned here

I know he's stopped moving, it's part of his underhanded plan

More convincing this way . . . tongue hanging out ever so slightly

Uh-oh, the attack of the striped horse barn socks

"Whatcha doing to me?"

Just like that, the doxie was airlifted and placed in his vehicle

If those ain't precious dog training tips, what is?

A quick review: know the signals when your pack is getting ready to return home. Place self in strategic position with clear view of vehicle (you don't want to be left behind on accident). Slowly roll on your back and play dead. If you've done your homework, your biped will come and gently lift you and do the rest of the work for you. I'm working on a technique to extend the play time.

Thank you Dexter for a wonderful demonstration in dog training. Keep up the good work and make us proud, my friend!

A brief update for the spotted dog's friends. Linguini is ... better. M isn't. Here's why:

A week on Rimadyl and Linguini bounced back. With a vengeance. Our first clue: she jumped the fence and raided the neighborhood's cat and dog food bowls. She had to come in through the front entry though because she was as big as the Good Year Blimp and couldn't jump over the fence again. Tsk tsk. The dog vet ordered her to lose weight. So, due to these recent developments, M is now on the Rimadyl and Linguini in the dog house.
