"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Weekend Dogs: Teddy's Teckels
In his comment below, Gil mentions a hunting dachshund. Our own late Diamond Lil was another, but for the best hunting dachshund pics we go to Teddy Moritz, who bred our Lil. Here is Lil, and a few of Teddy's through the years.
There are dachsunds in Kazakhstan? I would never have imagined. Wonder if they've ever had any boo-boos with the eagles? One of my favorite "Far Side" cartoons was the thick hedge separating the falconry meet from the teacup poodle show, with the caption "trouble brewing"...L.B.
I believe the merle lurcher with the gray fox is a dog named Keeper. As I recall, Keeper killed a coyote that had picked up one of Teddy's dachshund while they were out hunting with the Harris Hawk. Coyote: 0, Keeper: 1, Dachshund: fine.
Hey Patrick, that was Celtic, another Hancock collie lurcher who got that coyote plus another. He was heck for treeing bears, as were the dachshunds. Keeper once kept a drunk from our door. Great dogs. Nice to see other folks using teckels as well.
Not that I know, or anything, but I would theorize that using teckels/dachsunds/weinerdogs for hunting with eagles would not be advisable......L. B.
ReplyDeleteI actually have video from Kazakhstan (old-- 1980's?) showing teckels bolting a fox to be chased by tazis and eagles!
