Oh, and more about daschunds. A true standard is an amazing dog. We had one once who ran with us when we road bikes and could chase down a rabbit. He was covered with scars from getting into scraps with dogs three times his size. And one New Years eve, he came to the party with us but wanted to leave before midnight. Just before midnight, he returned with a large german shepherd in heat, his date. They hung around for a while and then left again so there are a lot of weird looking german shepherds running around Douglas county KS.

This is NOT a good example to set for pet people. Dogs who aren't deliberately set for breeding should be neutered, and certainly NOT allowed to run around wild screwing other dogs and making unwanted babies. I know MALE owners of MALE dogs don't give a damn cuz "it's not my problem", but that's just wrong.
