Product Description
With a pleasing shape and an expressive nature, the dachshund is a popular companion. Be they standard, mini, or 'tweeny,' smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired, these pups have giant-sized courage-and an unending supply of affection. Fond of belly rubs and snacks, and stubborn when it comes to getting what they want, these little hounds will give "The Look," and their owners find themselves giving them anything they ask for-including one more treat.

The many people who love these dogs know it is impossible to sum up all of the wonderful qualities of this special breed. People owned by dachshunds are lucky people, indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures   August 14, 2007
I love this book! The pictures and captions that go with them are just great. The personality of the dachshund is captured throughout this book. A good buy for any dachshund lover.


5 out of 5 stars From an owner of a wiener in this book...   April 28, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I met Amanda at a SPCA gathering, she is a wonderful person and very kind. Of course I love this book, because my pooch is in there a few times! A bunch of great wieners met up at the beach for an afternoon of shooting, we had a blast! Amanda has a knack for capturing the essence of her subjects, which you can also see in her other books. I love her work, even if my doxie wasn't in here!


5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL WIENERS!   March 6, 2007
THIS BOOK IS FULL OF EXTRAORDINARY DACHSHUND PHOTOS. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU LOVE WIENERS THE WAY WE DO! OUR DEWEY (STANDARD SHORT-HAIR RED) JUST LOOKED AT THE BOOK AS IF TO SAY, "THERE IS NO DOG AS CUTE AS I AM IN THAT STUPID BOOK!"

What a sweet face on the front cover! Wish I could see the whole dog on the inside though. Love the doxie with his/her head down and repentive eyes. Nice coffee table book. Friends and family comment favorably. I have a loveable mini longhair choc dapple!


2 out of 5 stars Yes, the book is short but not long   August 30, 2006
  4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I ordered this book after reading a SF Chronicle review of other works by Amanda Jones, who clearly loves dogs. I found the book a little lacking--it's a very short book with photos of the dachshunds of her friends. Two of the cutest photos are on the front and back covers of the book jacket and NOT reproduced in the book--another shortcoming. I was not overwhelmed by this book and would not have bought it if I had seen it in a bookstore and perused it. I own two mini dachshunds and thought this would be more clever--and two dogs long--in it's treatment of our beloved weiner dogs.
