There just aren't enough pet friendly <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2014/02/25/the-happiness-of-hound-everything-you-need-to-know-about-londons-first-dog-cafe-4319635/">dog cafes</a> in London and its so frustrating when you want to grab a decent latte walking the dog, so we were very excited and impressed to visit newly opened Scooby's.<br />
<br />
The Cafe, also a mini boutique for pets, is located on Fortis Green Rd in Muswell Hill and offers a delicious range of pastries accompanied by a selection of doggy treats and toys which you can also take home with you.<br />
<br />
This means you can now bring your dog out for a coffee with friends! we say well done to owner Lisa!<br />
<br />
Our little four pawed friends were free to roam every corner of this trendy cafe which is kitted out with funky chairs and is spacious enough for a nice crowd of two and four legged customers. Its also perfect place to hire out for small parties, launches and events.<br />
<br />
We caught up on the latest park adventures with our dachshund friends and tried some of Lisa's doggy home baked treats - I admit I did actually try some! The lemon drizzle cake was more suited to my palate.<br />
<br />
Purchases included the giant Caterpillar toy,'what will Willson be doing with that we ask? - hmmm no comment!and Milo was treated to a lovely handmade Scooby's collar-chief...<br />
<br />
We hope to go back soon, but if you ever shop around Muswell Hill - now you know where you and your dog can go together!<br />

She tells Dachshunds in London; </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I have wanted to write and publish children’s books for years,
but the time and inspiration wasn’t quite there. I took a break from teaching,
and realised there was finally space in my life for a dog. So along came
Hudson. And with him came a whole new world. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Being a novice dog owner, following my training manual, it
was a steep learning curve. But the overwhelming love I felt for him was
amazing. And everything he did made me laugh; his wonderful curiosity,
snuggling nature, and untiring excitement. And he just looks so sweet and comical;
the leg-body ratio, the funny waddle, the long ears flapping. On Clapham Common
one day, watching him chase a particularly fat pigeon, the idea for the book
came to me. I love children’s books, and with many years’ experience<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2135282327355793144" name="_GoBack"></a> reading to a class, I knew Hudson was the perfect subject.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I wrote ‘Hudson and Me’, illustrating it roughly myself. Then
I found an illustrator to do a much better job! Writing the series came easily. I wanted the
books to encourage interaction between parents and their children, or teachers and
their class. The writing is simple and fun, and aimed at both boys and girls
(the main character being a girl, but a somewhat scrappy one in shorts!)"</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We seem to live in a “must have it now” society, but the old saying“marry in haste, repent at leisure” also applies when you're thinking of buyinga puppy, re-phrased as “buy in haste, repent at leisure”. You must do your research carefully. If you're doing your research on-line, searchfor “Dachshund Breed Council” rather than “Dachshund Puppies”. We like to think our Dachshund BreedCouncil's website (<a href="http://www.dachshundbreedcouncil.org.uk/">www.dachshundbreedcouncil.org.uk</a>) makes iteasy for a potential owner to find out about our breed. We have presentations and <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/buying-a-dachshund/">advice for buyers</a> which youcan view on-line or <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/buy_and_own_e-book.pdf">download</a>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is so much advice for puppy buyers, from so many differentsources, it's difficult to know who to rely on for good advice. When you've done your research, if you'reconvinced you want a Dachshund puppy, make contact with one of the <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/breed-clubs/">Breed Club Secretaries</a>, by'phone or e-mail to ask for recommendations of responsible breeders in yourarea. For in-depth, up-to-date, adviceon Dachshunds, it's hard to beat talking to a Breed Club Secretary. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By doing careful research before deciding to buy a puppy you willincrease your chances of finding out the right questions to ask when,eventually, you do speak with breeders. You can then confidently ask them about their knowledge and experienceof the health issues in the breed. Ifyou discover you know more about the breed's health issues than the breederdoes, that should really ring alarm bells and you should walk away. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Finding the right breeder</b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most puppy buyers use the internet to look for puppies. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long asyou realise that bad breeders are not sticking to the Exchange and Mart or adsin the Newsagent’s window any more. Theyknow where their buyers are and they know how to pull them in. It’s up to you as a buyer to do yourresearch, but it can be very confusing because bad breeders will claim all thesame things that good ones do.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Never buy from a pet shop or “pet supermarket”, however “up-market”they appear to be. Their puppies willalmost certainly have come from puppy farms or “back-yard breeders”, where dogsare bred and reared in poor conditions, purely for profit and with little or noregard for health and welfare.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A reputable breeder will, as a minimum, comply with the good practicerequirements of the <a href="http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/203">Kennel Club’s Assured Breeder Scheme</a> and willalways be happy to answer any queries you may have at any stage of your dog’slife and will like to hear how your dog is progressing. Reputable breeders will want you to beassured that your puppy has been well reared and is a fit, healthy and typicalspecimen of the breed.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can find lists of KC Assured Breeders with puppies available at: <a href="http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/puppiesforsale">http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/puppiesforsale</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many Breed Club members list their puppies at <a href="http://www.dachshundshowcase.co.uk/">www.dachshundshowcase.co.uk</a> which Irun and you'll also find lists of breeders there. Breeders who are members of a Dachshund BreedClub will comply with our <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/code-of-ethics/">Code of Ethics</a> whichcovers matters such as health testing, the age at which a bitch should be bredfrom and the maximum number of litters a bitch should have. Breed Club members will be aware of therelevant health tests which are recommended for Dachshunds and should be ableto talk knowledgeably about the relevance of these. If you have any doubts about the healthadvice you are given, please contact a member of our <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ukdachshundhealthreport/home/h-w-sub-committee">Health Sub-committee</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You'll find a <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/buying-a-dachshund/buying-a-puppy-questions-to-ask/">checklist of questions to ask thebreeder here</a> and <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/buying-a-dachshund/how-to-recognise-a-responsible-breeder/">how to recognise a responsible breederhere</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remember, most good breeders do not have to advertise their puppies,so Free Ads (internet or newspaper) are usually not a good place to look for apuppy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Current health tests</b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All Miniature Dachshund breeders should be DNA testing their dogs andbitches for cord1 PRA, a form of eye disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund breeders should be participating inthe Wirehaired Dachshund Club's screening programme for Lafora Disease (a formof epilepsy).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do not buy from a breeder who is unaware of these tests, or who saysthey are not important.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Because Dachshunds are a dwarf breed there is an increased risk ofback problems. Always ask about anyhistory of back problems when buying a puppy. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Always consult a Vet if you have any concerns about a puppy youintend to purchase, or health problems with an older dog.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Buying your puppy</b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Except in exceptional circumstances you should <b>always</b> be ableto see the mother of the puppy. Visit where the puppy was born, regardless ofhow far you have to travel. Aresponsible breeder will let you see all the puppies in the litter, with theirmother, and you should be able to handle them. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do not be talked into buying a “rare coloured” Dachshund. Generally, anyone telling you a puppy has arare colour either doesn’t know what they are talking about, or they are acommercial breeder.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If something doesn’t feel right when you visit, walk away. Unscrupulous breeders rely on people “fallingin love with a puppy” or “feeling sorry” for puppies, and feeling obliged tobuy one. Don't make this mistake.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">After being inspired by this summer's </span><a href="http://dachshundsinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/great-dachshund-games.html" target="_blank">Dachshund Olympics</a><span style="color: #222222;"> we knew we had to do something to continue the legacy. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After much deliberation my dachshund Flea and I decided to run the <a href="http://www.brightonmarathon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Brighton Marathon</a> in aid of the <a href="http://www.battersea.org.uk/" target="_blank">Battersea dogs and cats home</a>. </span></div>

Some mornings Flea would opt for the affectionate lick technique to get me up, whilst other days consisted of being panicked into action by her internal marathon alarm. I knew this </span><span style="color: #222222;">wasn't</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: small;"> going to be easy, but being bossed into action by your Dachshund, who’s ever heard of that before?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB">It’s not that I’m new to running; in fact I ran the London marathon last year. Its just this year we supported a cause very close to our hearts. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333333;">As the founder of the City Paws Club I was shocked and saddened to hear that on average 7 lost, unwanted or abused dogs arrive everyday at the Battersea centre.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333333;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333333;"><br /><br />The good news is, through their hard work, commitment and dedication Batter</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333333;">sea Dogs & Cats Home are able to re-home as many as 14 dogs per day across their 3 sites.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the early months of every year, thousands of pets are taken into animal shelters because the owners are unable to look after them. It seems that many adults still concentrate on the benefits of having a pet and underestimate the responsibilities that come with ownership.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are a dog owner, you have a responsibility to ensure that the animal is treated well, kept well-nourished and healthy. Yet not all mistreatment is malicious - much of it can come from a simple lack of understanding about what dogs need. For advice, <a href="http://www.rspca.org.uk/allaboutanimals/pets/dogs" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">the RSPCA dog ownership page</a> is a good resource, but here are a few pointers to provide you with a starting point for some research:<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Diet<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dogs are susceptible to the same consequences of poor diet - weight gain, heart problems, diabetes, etc - as humans, so owners should ensure their animal gets a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins - this means being careful with the treats.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When your dog develops symptoms of illness, it is advisable to get them checked out as soon as possible by a vet, as they could be the beginning of something more serious. However, some pet owners avoid doing this because vet fees are expensive; a good pet insurance policy will cover these costs so you can take your dog to the vet when you need to.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exercise<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dogs need regular exercise - and that means walks where the animal can race around, not just letting it roam around the house. This could mean that those who lead busy lifestyles may not be suitable for dog ownership. Toys which will keep the dog entertained -<a href="http://www.petsathome.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">take a look at the Pets at Home website</a>, for example, to see just how many are available - are useful for those occasions when Fido must be left at home.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like children, dogs need socialising but will learn very quickly if set proper boundaries, with good behaviour being rewarded.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ever wondered what the coat on your dachshund means? and Im not talking about the Gucci jacket he is wearing on his regular walks but the DNA in his tiny body!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month and following <a href="http://www.crufts.org.uk/" target="_blank">Crufts 2013</a>, there is huge talk at Kennel Club about views on colours listed in Breed Standards and those available on lists for Registration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are Ian's views from The Breed Council, <strong><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222;">who is asking the KC for changes to both the Breed Standard and Registration Lists.</span></span></span></strong></span><br />
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><strong><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">"Our <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.wordpress.com/uk-breed-standard/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Breed Standard</a> describes those colours which are considered undesirable in the show ring: “</span></span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">Pied, tricolour and the dilute colours isabella and blue are highly undesirable. </span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">” This amendment was made in 2012.</span></span></span></strong></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In Dachshunds, registration is not refused on the grounds of colour except in the case of Double-Dapple (merle to merle matings) where there are health risks associated with the merle gene.</span></span></span></span></strong></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Council has taken the view that lists of colours for Registration should reflect as accurately as possible the actual colours likely to be found in the breed. This is important so that when anyone looks at a pedigree it is clear what colours are present so that undesirable mating combinations can be avoided. For example, we were recently made aware of a litter of Double Dapple puppies that were produced because the breeder was unaware that her bitch was a Red Dapple.</span></span></span></span></strong></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Currently, anyone registering a Dachshund of a colour not included in the Registration Lists has to register it as “Colour not recognised by KC”. We are happy to hear from anyone who wishes to make a case for amending the lists of Registration Colours.</span></span></span></span></strong></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Helen Geeson's presentation on the genetics of Dachshund coats and colours is available <a href="http://dachshundbreedcouncil.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/coat-and-colour.pdf" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></span></span></span></strong></div>

<span id="goog_2108155599"></span><br />
Problems on feeding, walking and barking were aired and shared with other members and with support and tips given by dachshund lover, owner and dog trainer <a href="http://www.pawsclaws.co.uk/services/dogtraining.html" target="_blank">Louise Rawlinson</a> daughter of famous dog listener <a href="http://www.doglistener.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stan Rawlinson</a>.<br />
<br />
Members were also given the chance to practice common dog training skills including sit, stay and down.<br />
<br />
dachshunds can be hard to train so perseverance is key to training any dog. The message learnt "keep calm and carry on training"...well done all who took part we had a fun filled afternoon - out of the rain!<br />
