Considering all this pictures of German wirehaired dachshund Max (Max von Bispingdorpe), who loves to swim and retrieve from the water, might serve us well. Max's owner, Uta Fehlhaber-Smith sent these pics with a note:
Just before Max got in a strong whirl in the pursuit of a large stick that had floated into that whirl. He made it out off it, an enormous physical challenge! The Cowlitz River is deep and fast and it curved a the place we were. The photos were shot by Laura Stutts.
Also I love the below video of Max, which Uta sent last fall. She said in her caption: The barking noise is from Luna, the hovawart, who is an excellent water retriever herself and wants to go too. ( The tiny dummy is not her thing...) She goes for the big branches and wood pieces - but I can't do both at the same time and video tape too...
BTW, congratulations are in order as Max was Best of Winners at an AKC show in Chehalis, WA on July 8. Several FCI teckels were entered at the show with the
intention to educate the American judges.
Uta says: The other judge the day before preferred typical American Dachshund, but we
had great time afterwards at the Pacific ocean were this little daredevil
decided to swim voicing all the way through the heavy turf in pursuit of teasing
seagulls. He scared me to death, since I did not know the undertow. And then
when he finally returned he decided to chase the large kites people let fly at
the beach, again furiously opening and running circles and figure eights with
his head in the air. A kite crushed down, drilling in the sand just a few inches
beside him.
