Miniature Dachhounds? Those must look something like sausages on legs 
with floppy ears. *g* Actually, I am not really ridiculing them. *g* 
I like anything dog, often not to my own good as I am alergic to just 
about anything with fur or featheres. Those must be absolutely tiny 
if you had a bunch of them playing in your hands. Do you have puppies 
there at the moment,  i.e. a litter of them? The smallest Dackel I 
have seen are "Kanin Teckel", those used to hunt rabbits. What you 
have there must be the Dackel equivalent to toy or Teacup poodles.

I am praying that those wanting a "Sausage Teckel" will find a good 
and healthy  one. I wish I could see one. they must be cute and funny 
at the same time.

In his grip!
