Dachshund puppies rule!

Dachshunds rule - especially dachshunds puppies!

Here's Looking at you ...

Love the direct look of this wire-haired dachshund in Aix-en-Provence.

And then there were four!

There's a fourth one hidden!

Dachshunds Rule!

Dachshunds rule! Especially dachshund puppies!

And then there were two ...

This is a different photo of the wire-haired dachshund we met yesterday - today with a second dog hanging out of his pocket!

Skull and Crossbones

Dachshunds, especially wire-haired dachshunds, are too adorable, aren't they?  This one was at Monaco Dog Show earlier this year.  He looks as if he wishes his owner would hurry up with whatever he is doing.   Note the skull and crossbones leash.

On guard

Wura

Meet Wura.  She's an 11 year old long-haired dachshund I met at the Fete du Citron in Menton.  She was being carried around in her owner's bag as dogs are not allowed in the Jardin Bioves.

Wura lives in Holland.

Dachshunds

There were about five dachshunds in this pram at the Monaco dog show. Here are three!

The Thirsty Dachshund

 

Sometimes, you've just got to have a drink but it's too high - and then it's scary because you might fall in!  I met this lovely wire-haired dachshund in Gorbio.  This is where the horses come to drink.

Jen

Jen, the dachshund, was guarding her bench and really didn't want her photograph taken ... grrrrrrrr

Enki, the dachshund puppy and Julien

This adorable dachshund puppy, Enki, had been brought to the Blessing of the Animals in Gorbio village by his proud owner, Julien.  Julien and Enki, who is 3 months old, live in Gorbio.

In the last photo, Enki is being admired by the owner of Google, the chihuahua we met the other day. Google looks pretty interested too!

It's so good to see a young man like Julien taking such good care of his dog. 

Bag Lady

We've met Thandie, the wire-haired dachshund before. I bumped into her on the pedestrian street in Menton a couple of days ago - reckon she's got life pretty much worked out, don't you?!

Thandie lives on Cap Ferrat - click on the link to see her when she was one year old.

All tied up...

What is it about dachshunds? They are just so entrancing... even if their leads do get wound around your leg.

Village Dogs

Village dogs have a good life. They can wander anywhere they like, off lead. These two wire-haired dachshunds (teckels in French) live in the medieval village of Castellar, which is in the hills above Menton.

One them, as if to emphasise how cute she is, rolled on her back when I tried taking her photogaph. Yes, I know...submissive behaviour really.

Dachshunds Rule - of course!

These two charmers have long names. The wire-haired is called Donnawetter and she is 2. And the smooth-haired is called Alpenliebe and she is 7. They live in Milan but were in Menton where I met them at a three-day festival held in the Old Port, promoting careers relating to the sea.

Frimousse and the Interloper

So there I was photographing this adorable Cavalier King Charles puppy, when up strode the smooth-haired dachshund wanting to know what was going on!

I never did get to ask the name of the dachshund but can tell you that the puppy is called Frimousse and she is a Ruby coloured Cavalier aged 5 months. She was on holiday near to Menton, staying in Tende in the mountains and comes from the north of France.

Brandy and 'The Virgin Mother'

Don't you love it when a dachshund looks slightly sideways and shows the white of the eye? (apologies for chopping his toes off!)

This is 3 year old Brandy who lives in Monaco. In the smaller photo you see him walking along the jetty in Fontvieille and if you are wondering what or who is the enormous sculpture in the distance, then click HERE and HERE to find out!

Uxane

This is Uxane, who I met walking on the promenade above the port in Menton. She was here with her owners, who spend part of the year in Menton and part in Pau.
