JW,
I have a soft spot for the Dachs. We had a mini long hair that we lost last year. She was on her way to being a top knot deer tracker, She even came from a hunting line out of Indiana. Unfortunatley we were camping last summer at a Ind. State park, and do to an outbreak of Ash beetles you could only use fire wood bought at the park store. I guess somebody took it apon themselves to saturate the wood with insecticide of some kind and Fritz chewed on a piece. She had a very bad allergic reaction to the poison and died about 24 hrs later. The vet said it that some Dachs are really sensitive to stuff. Even normal vacinations can mess them up. Enjoy your mini hunting machines.
