Sausages rule at Bennett Miller's Dachshund UN

Dachshunds in London members embarked upon a new piece of live doggie art by artist Bennett Miller earlier today in Birmingham.

Well done to all of those who participated - for the love of dachshunds! Spread the word the sausage will rule.

Here is a short clip of what when on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i90I39AqZI

Why do dachshunds roll in poo?

The rolling police is out Milo!


The question remains... and something I have shared with many fellow dachshund owners and which I've been pondering on lately is dachshunds rolling in poo. I'm telling you its bugging me now.  On our last meet Milo decided to find the smelliest patch of grass (which undoubtedly was covered in something or someone's poo) and rub his back on it. By that point its too late to venture any closer than a few metres without gagging at the smell not to mention the embarrassment of the journey home ahead of me on the Piccadilly Line. If someone has the answer to why this occurs please I urge you to come forth now!


Every trip to the park, the wilder the better, is met with the event of rolling in various excrements, be it doggy doo doo, fox droppings and anything remotely gross! Milo has recently taken to sniffing out half dead insect carcasses lying in the ground, worms and bees are a sure favourite - eau de poo! ummm nice one Milo!


Apparently some say dogs like to rub other animal scent on them to claim territory? by wearing the  smell of another dog they create a type of camouflage which protects them from attach, since they are predators when they are on the walk (not on their own territory). 


If humans did that we would be running around rubbing our backs with toilet brushes or flushing our heads down the neighbours toilet to make sure they don't attack us! Mind you it would ward off anyone coming close to you if there was a civil war wouldn't it?


Has your dachshund rolled in something disgusting lately, share the tail with us! and if you have the answer tell!


Happy Friday!
