Introducing the Long-Legged Dachshund

One day I saw my black-and-white dachshund and thought wouldn't it be nice if he was bigger and had longer legs? I'm vehemently against backyard breeding, so breeding my weiner was off the table. Then I learned about this new technology that could create gravitational warps so I convinced him to try it and BAAAAM his legs grew threefold overnight!

If any of you have a doxie at home and are tired of him/her being leg-mogged by other dogs, I highly recommend the gravity warp. The only downside is that your dachshund might come out a bit wormy but honestly that's pretty cute.

I’ve challenged myself to complete a final drawing or sketch for the children’s fantasy novel I’m illustrating each day this month. For day 14 I drew Lupine, the deuteragonist of the story

How to get to know the breed before approaching a breeder

12 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking for some tips either from experienced owners or breeders on how to maybe get to know the breed before approaching a breeder in the future. I’m located in Germany, and I have a dog (rescue female, mix, part sighthound) right now, but in the future it is my dream to have a borzoi. I don’t want to just get a dog because I think they look cool, I want to do my due diligence and make sure a borzoi would be a good fit for me. So far in terms of research online about their personalities and activity level I think it would be a good match. Does it make sense to go to dog shows or lure coursing events? Where I live there is a Windhundrennbahn that has events and I thought about dropping by with my own dog (she loves to run and chase a lure).

Is it weird to show up to dog shows to just to poke about and ask questions? Borzoi is such a rare breed that I can’t think of any other way to meet people with one other than attending some kind of event.

I’ve done some research on breeders in Germany and there are a couple I will likely contact in the future. But I’m open to any recommendations if anyone has some!
