Is it becoming? Only to a dachshund. I don't think there's an answer for the rest.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dachshundism is a proud and thriving religion. It began a long time ago in Germany. At first it was only a localized phenomenon, but it soon won acolytes in every part of the world. What better thing to worship than the Dachshund? There were setbacks to Dachshundism when the 2 world wars came along, causing many foolish people in the Allied nations to stop worshipping Dachshunds because they were "German" dogs! This shocking form of prejudice fortunately soon subsided as the natural cuteness and lovableness of Dachshunds overcame it. Dachshunds are clearly Nature's most wonderful canine form and are destined to rule.

Arf!

Hardly any -ism is becoming (to the -ist), whatever the region. But what is Dachsundism anyway? "Dachs" is German for "badger" (probably a mock-Germanization of Latin "taxus"), and "undism" may be a typo for "nudism". Now nudism shares some detestable features with other -isms, but being nude definitely becomes badgers and dogs alike.

Detestable features of nudism? OK, some bits could do with ironing I suppose... But detestable? Haven't had too many complaints...

My dog isn't nude, but being very short haired and this hot summer, his normally black arse is looking decidedly pink at present.

But he isn't of German extraction. Middle East, I think.. (Greyhound.) Although he was born and raised in Ireland for racing till we gave him a retirement.

As to dressing him up? mmm.. Some of those pictures were funny, some the product of a disturbed mind. Right! Where's my camera? Hound! Fetch my latex nurse's costume!

Detestable features of many -isms aka ideologies include:
  • claiming to be the solution of all problems
  • bullying non-believers
  • ignoring or denouncing any arguments to the contrary
  • serving as an excuse for selfish behaviour.
"I like to go without clothes" is quite a different statement from "I am a nudist". The former can be safely assumed to apply to dachshunds of all regions.

I've personally KNOWN Dachshunds who did all of the following:

claiming to be the solution to all problems
    bullying non-believers
    ignoring or denouncing any arguments to the contrary
    serving as an excuse for selfish behaviour.

In fact, selfishness is considered a great virtue among Dachshunds! Bullying is just fine among Dachshunds as long as you can get away with it. Ignoring or denouncing contrary opinions goes without saying. And any Dachshund worth his salt definitely knows that HE is the solution to all problems!

Despite this, they are still lovable. ;-)

Yeah, we had a Beagle once. Suzie. She was as dumb as a post, and the greediest dog I ever saw. I'm not saying they're all like that...but Suzie was. She would bark at the cows next door for hours on end until they would finally become disgusted and move away to some other part of the field where she couldn't see them. One time they found Suzie on their side of the fence, and they did a cow charge like I've never seen before...the ground thundered! They chased her through about 3 huge fields till she got out underneath a barbed wire fence and escaped, yelping all the way.

27 Jul 13 - 06:59 PM (#3542503)
Subject: RE: BS: Is Dachsundism becoming and region?
From: Little Hawk

No, no, no! They come from what was once called "Germania"...a vast, forested region east of the Rhine, a region that Rome never succeeded in conquering. Germania was peopled by a number of fierce tribes who were collectively known as Germanii (Germans). In time the descendants of these German warriors bred the Dachshund (badger hound) for the purpose of pursuing a badger down into its burrow, siezing it with powerful jaws, and dragging it out to be clubbed to death by the hunter. This took amazing guts and determination on the dog's part and is seen in the Dachshund's tenacious, stubborn, and feisty nature. Modern day Dachshunds, however, are mostly bred to be pets rather than hunting dogs. They are playful, amusing, willful, and difficult to train, but make excellent companions. They are fast and agile when young, good runners and jumpers, but tend to get overweight and sedentary in old age unless given lots of daily exercise. They naturally pursue rodents and other small animals. They have a loud bark, due to possessing a deep chest. They enjoy singing, and their rapturous "singing" with the nose pointed skyward is easily prompted by hearing a harmonica, various other musical instruments, a passing siren on an emergency vehicle, or any other "howling" sound. They will often sing along with humans, but have some trouble staying "on key".

I agree withe proposal that they should have their own "region"
The UB may be able to set up an area, that they would share with the miltapedes and centapedes, since they may have a common ancentry.

Hiya,

Fritz (one I/we had) used to live on chocolate, fruit cake & chicken, cos my great-aunt insisted dog food made him ill.

He hated walks unless he was taken round town, peed when he was walking about (& got peed on by our collie who didn't realise he was even there) barked at his reflection & let me put my arms round him & kiss his nose "MWAH!" He was gorgeous.

I do miss him.

From: Little Hawk

I am fairly well convinced that most commercial dog and cat food does make pets ill...over a long enough period of time. In short, it's crap. A dog shouldn't have to eat such awful stuff! I will, however, agree that the very best of commercially produced dog and cat foods is probably okay...but this would require some investigation, consulting a good Vet as to which brand is worthwhile, etc.

If humans are eating fresh meat and veggies and if they are good for us, then they're also good for dogs and cats, in my opinion, and probably considerable better for them than the average commercial pet food is.

Anyone who wants to fight with me about this opinion of mine should be directed to my backyard, where my friend Jethro is busy trimming the foliage. Jethro is a donkey (also sometimes termed an ass)...and he likes to argue with people...whereas I'm not particularly interested in doing so. I do like to talk about stuff...but I really don't come here to argue with people, just to talk in a friendly fashion. So take any major bitching you have about whatever I say to Jethro, my Ass, okay? And as a friendly overture when meeting Jethro...give him a nice big kiss.

You're right, gnu. Jethro is an Ass, and proud of it!

Dachshunds do expect humans to sacrifice a "suitable" amount of their time, energy, and financial resources so that the Dachshund will experience the requisite amount of satisfaction.

That means copious amounts of food, water, attention, exercise, admiration (if not downright worship), and food. Specially food!

The way you determine the common, ordinary ass (arse) from an Ass like Jethro is simple. If it's Jethro, then "Ass" is capitalized, as in "Jethro the Ass". Also...your ass (your arse) is always behind you, while Jethro might be behind you (and if he is, watch out!), but he might also be in front of you, beside you, or over in the next yard.

You live and learn. I have always thought a donkey was a donkey, and mules & asses were the same thing, the cross breed with a horse.

Donkeys were a big thing when I was a child, riding them on Blackpool beach. For some reason, I have always wanted one. We have a bit of land, a few paddocks, (mainly rented out to horsey type people, but a smaller one near the house doing nothing) and there is a donkey sanctuary not far away.

The situation is this. I refuse to keep chickens. She refuses to have a donkey. However, during peace talks in Geneva, she conceded I could have my donkey if she got her chickens, I reserved my view for the time being.

What do you think? The greyhound ignores horses and won't get near chickens anyway. Be buggered if I know what to do? I said at the outset that buying an old farmhouse is not a precursor to giving Dr Doolittle a run for his money.

I think she's right, Musket. Having chickens is a great idea. They are fun, entertaining...a bit noisy...but that's allright...and you get fresh eggs. Having a donkey is also a great idea. Do both, I say. The Greyhound will have a bit more to think about, and that'll be good too, because most domestic dogs suffer a good deal from boredom.

I grew up with horses and rode them a great deal but I remember a donkey that my dad came home with, one day. Her name was Flossie and she could be ridden although a walk was her preferred gait. Took a long time to get from Point A to Point B. There was little or no spring to her step so the movement was quite vertical rather than rhythmic and not what one could comfortable.

Still, I rode her for the novelty of it. I remember one time when I rode her into the back 40 of the about 400 acres we had to roam around in. Took me practically all day to get back.
