You'd better put your “coat” on...

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:22:26 -0600

It’s cold outside. The jury is still out on determining the coat type on Bijou’s puppies. Boone is definitely starting to look like a silky/soft-wirehaired and the other three are showing some signs... maybe one more week will tell. In the meantime, there has been a lot of discussion on Facebook about the silky/soft-wirehaired coat. Are we ruining the longhaired coat or the wirehaired coat by breeding for a silky/soft-wirehaired? What are your thoughts?
In a recent Facebook post, my response to some of that discussion was as follows:
“Dachshund Hall has specialized in AKC miniature longhaired dachshunds since 1991, with an emphasis on the creams. Our goal has always been to breed dogs that properly represent the breed standard whether they are going to be a family pet or a celebrated champion in the ring. Good conformation, excellent health, beauty and socialization are at the top of our list, and we take great pride in educating all of our "Dachshundhallic" customers about the breed. Many have come back for second, third and fourth puppies from us! Bijou is our first silky/soft-wirehaired dachshund and yes her coat type is not recognized in the breed standard. However, she is AKC registered and all that have seen and met her, want her. I really don't see it as "messing with the coat dachshunds are supposed to have" - quite the opposite. We are adding another marketable option, if you will, to our breeding program that combines the laid-back temperament of the longhaired with the clown-like personality of the wirehaired, and producing a stunning blend of both coats! Best of all, they make great family pets, and they are still 100% DACHSHUND! We don't sell them for more or as "rare coated" we sell them as what they are - a blend of a longhaired and wirehaired, period. Who's to say you won't see a fourth coat type for the dachshund in the hound group ring someday for the best breed around? For the record, I am strongly opposed to mixing breeds like dorkies, chiweenies, and one of the worst I've seen a dachsador! Yes, a dachsador from a "breeder" here in Texas. That truly messes up the breed. However, on the flip side, remember that through the ages every breed of dog out there was created from a blend of many dogs. They were all bred to do different things, hunt, herd, retrieve, etc. The smooth dachshund may have been the original but, longhaired dachshunds have spaniel in them and wirehaireds have terrier in them. Look at the popularity of Goldendoodles and Labradoodles. We had a goldendoodle that was a wonderful smart dog.”

Expect the unexpected...

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:33:53 -0600

Many of you know Casper & Bijou’s puppies were due today and Bijou delivered her first litter right on time, as “expected”. Four beautiful puppies, two of which are stunning “ee” creams. What we’re really excited about though, is that Bijou is our first shaded cream soft-wirehaired and hopefully some or all of her litter will be soft-wires too! It will take a few weeks to determine their coat type, so stay tuned.
What wasn’t “expected”, was Willy & Nola’s litter being born on the same day... Nola’s due date was 12/22/11. Nola surprised us with two healthy puppies and based on their birth weights she must have decided she just couldn’t carry them for four more days.
Needless to say, it was a very long, busy and happy day!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
First, congratulations to “Sniffntells Wroyal Casper” and “Bell’s Bijou of Dachshund Hall” on their first litter! They are the proud parents of four gorgeous puppies - one female and three males - all of which could be soft-wirehaired. You can see Bijou’s litter in “Dachshund Hall - Litter #2”.

Here’s what Casper & Bijou had. The time of birth, colors, sexes and weights are as follows:

8:20 a.m. - Shaded Cream - Female - 6.3 oz.
8:51 a.m. - Shaded Cream - Male - 6.0 oz.
10:02 a.m. - “ee” Cream - Male - 7.1 oz.
10:30 a.m. - “ee” Cream - Male - 6.7 oz.

Second, congratulations to “Hall’s Don’t Touch My Willy” and “Hall’s Southern Nola Masquerade” on their litter! They are the proud parents of two healthy puppies - one female and one male. You can see Nola’s litter in “Dachshund Hall - Litter #3”.

Here’s what Willy & Nola had. The time of birth, colors, sexes and weights are as follows:

10:17 p.m. - Chocolate & Tan - Female - 9.2 oz.
11:15 p.m. - Shaded Red - Male - 8.8 oz.

Eleven, Eleven, Eleven...

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:54:05 -0600

The numerical sequence of November 11 holds a special significance in the binary numeral system, which is the base-2 number system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1. The date of November 11 has a binary number of 111110 where it has a decimal equivalent of 62 in the year 2010, and a binary number of 111111 with a decimal equivalent of 63 in the year 2011.
The number eleven has a special characteristic in mathematics where it is a prime number. It contains some interesting peculiarities where the number eleven times itself equals a palindrome:
• (2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121
• (6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
• (9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

With all that said, 11/11/11 for us here at Dachshund Hall equals five beautiful new puppies belonging to Austin and Abbey. Thank you to Lori Darling of Percy’s Place for letting us use her handsome boy Austin to sire Abbey’s litter.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Congratulations to Austin and “Abbey Eller Hall” on their new litter! They are the proud parents of five gorgeous cream puppies - three males and two females. You can see Abbey’s litter in “Dachshund Hall - Litter #1”.

Here’s what Austin & Abbey had. The time of birth, colors, sexes and weights are as follows:

3:25 p.m. - Shaded Cream - Male - 6.0 oz.
3:48 p.m. - Shaded Cream - Male - 3.9 oz.
4:08 p.m. - “ee” Cream - Female - 5.3 oz.
4:48 p.m. - Shaded Cream - Male - 6.3 oz.
5:39 p.m. - Shaded Cream - Female - 4.9 oz.
