H. P. Lovecraft

No breed of cats in its proper condition can by any stretch of the imagination be thought of as even slightly ungraceful - a record against which must be pitted the depressing spectacle of impossibly flattened bulldogs, grotesquely elongated dachshunds, hideously shapeless and shaggy Airedales, and the like.

American Novelist

Molly Ivins

I've said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were 'German dogs.' They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.

American Journalist

Diana Gabaldon

My husband gets up at around 5.30 A.M., so I'll tuck him in around 9.30 P.M. or 10 P.M., and then I'll go and lie down on the couch with a book and my two dachshunds.

American Author

Robert Benchley

Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other.

American Comedian

Robert Graysmith

I had a dog named Basil, and he's the hero of the book 'Animal Firm.' Oddly enough he's a dachshund, which is not really my kind of dog.

Terry Wogan

Most television could be presented by a dachshund. Radio can't, although there are a lot of dachshunds in there.

Irish Entertainer

Richard Coles

My dachshunds are not substitutes for children. But the pattering of tiny feet around the place is a joy.

English Musician

Jason Day

I have two mini dachshunds, Lola and Charlie.

Australian Athlete

Distinct Features

 of hunters animals that punky act the free their soul and just pretty much cut their throat so their spirit can be lifted and go try again it's pretty much respect for the animal I'm gonna cut it the way I wanted for my dachshund roughs

Hailstones' Inupiaq...

 They're also precise. We don't really stop to think about a raindrop the size of an actual cat or dog, but as soon as I do, I realize that I'm quite certain the dog has to be a small one -- a cocker spaniel, or a dachshund --
