Female Dachshunds

Botzensteiners Dachshund Kennel

Currently there are eight bitches at the kennel Botzensteiners, which have reached the breeding approval of the DTK. All bitches in the pictures have already had offspring in our kennel.

Botzensteiners Edith (Zwergdackel) — Edith

Miniature dachshund Edith is a daughter of the unfortunately much too early injured Multichampion Engels Tango, who is still looking for his equal, and Germandachs Nella Bella. Here two offsprings of the kennels that have determined dachshund breeding not only in Germany in the last decades have come together.

Henny

Botzensteiners Henny, named in honor of Henny van Breukelen, is a black and tan bitch of normal size. With her 40cm chest circumference and still 7.5kg she represents the newly desired lighter dachshund type.

Botzensteiners Käthe (Zwergdackel) — Käthe

“An expressive bitch in best substance and condition, pronounced forechest; she convinces with brisk, steady movements, best standing and underlines the best upper and lower line”

Botzensteiners Lieselotte — Lieselotte

Our Lieselotte has everything that can reasonably be expected from a breeding bitch of normal size. She is also economical in maintenance. Why that? Well, as a dappled dachshund it has never been easy at exhibitions when it comes to first places and thus subjective liking. Not every judge likes the spotted drawing.

Botzensteiners Matilda | Zwergdackel (kurzhaar) — Matilda

A black and tan miniature dachshund lady, sporty and elegant with a very good coat, clean and dark red markings, good bone strength and substance, supple and full of energy, that is Botzensteiners Matilda.

Botzensteiners Thusnelda | Standarddackel (brauntiger) — Thusnelda

Thusnelda comes from the combination of Big Bad Woof Empire of Glory (FCI) with Engels Isiris. She is a “Corona dog”, meaning she was born when the world had no idea that soon after “social distancing”, “contact restriction” and “distance teaching” would become common everyday vocabulary.

Botzensteiners Xenodike | Zwergdackel — Xenodike

Xenodike is the youngest offspring from a kind that is particularly widespread among short-haired miniature dachshunds. She doesn’t ask. She assesses the situation and then does; she has no doubts, but rights and otherwise she does her own thing, as they say

Botzensteiners Freudenfeuer — Freudenfeuer

Names are just smoke and mirrors, they say. This is not the case with our ” Freudenfeuer” (bonfire). Here, the name tells the story.

Are dachshunds a healthy breed?

Dachshunds are long-lived. Longevity in old age also means “age-related degeneration”. Who, to his disappointment, has not already heard this from his family doctor?

Apart from that, Dachshunds, like other “working dogs”, belong to the rather robust breeds. A dog that could not do its work because of “bred-in” health impairments, which in the case of the Dachshund is the versatile use in hunting, would be a contradiction in terms. | mehr
