  • THE DACHSHUND UNIQUE ORIGIN: the Word “Dachshund” Is German
    THE DACHSHUND UNIQUE ORIGIN: The word “Dachshund” is German and means “Badger Dog” or “Badger Hound.” They first appeared on the scene in the 15th Century. Its name is pronounced “Dock-sun” not “Dash-hound.” They were bred to hunt and chase down badgers and to burrow and dig quickly. Dachshunds also would work in packs and bring down deer and boar. They are considered the national dog of Germany; however, they actually lost their popularity in World War I because of their German origin. The first Dachshund dog show was in England in 1859, and they were a favorite of Queen Victoria. PERSONALITY: The Dachshund is playful, clever, brave and determined. They can display independence and be stubborn. Dachshunds usually bond more closely with one individual in the family. It’s their instinct to dig and burrow so you’ll often find them burrowed in blankets and under the covers in your bed! Children and Dachshunds make great companions; however, you must teach them how to properly play with this little dog as they have a tendency to have back problems and it can be exacerbated if they are handled incorrectly. They have a keen sense of smell and will wander off if they pick up an interesting scent. Dachshunds have such a loveable spunk and make great pets. They are very social animals and want to be around their family at all times. APPEARANCE: According to H.L. Mencken, “A Dachshund is a half-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long” – they are long and low to the ground.

  • Dog Breed Characteristics & Behavior
    Behavior & Training 415.506.6280 Available B&T Services Dog Breed Characteristics & Behavior Why is it important to know about the characteristics and behavior of different breeds? All dogs are individuals and have their own personalities. At the same time, different breeds tend to also have certain characteristics that help define that particular breed. This information can be helpful to you when you are choosing a dog or trying to understand his behavior. The AKC (American Kennel Club) places dog breeds within seven different groups. In order to account for the different behaviors within a particular group, some groups can be further subdivided into families. Herding group: Breeds in this group were bred to herd sheep and cattle. They do this by stalking and staring, barking and/or nipping at their charges. They are bred to be intelligent, athletic and diligent and they are very trainable. Dogs from this group will do best with lots of exercise. They do even better if they have a job such as agility where they can use their natural athletic ability to navigate an agility course. Barking can be a problem if they are bored and they may attempt to “herd” their people-pack by nipping and chasing.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.
