Steffi is a great family dog... and so much more

Steffi is going to be 16 soon. These pictures are too good not to share. Thank you Danny!

A dachshund in our logo 14 years later: teckels, deer antlers and kids

These great pictures came from Danny Horner, a hunter/tracker and owner of Wynona von Moosbach-Zuzelek. Winnie was born on April 5, 1998, so now she is 14.5 years old. I am actually not sure how much Winnie had to do with the antlers in the pictures :) By the way, Winnie is a dachshund in our logo, which was based on Danny's picture too.

I love this picture as it really conveys why hunters and trackers love working dachshunds. Most of them make excellent pets and family companions, but at the same time they are serious hunting and tracking dogs.

Max, where did you find these antler sheds?

I understand why Max's owner is reluctant to reveal where these sheds were found. Wouldn't you? Max is a five-year-old son of Buster and Keena.

Our logo puppy as an old dog

Danny Horner with Steffi

Danny Horner sent us this picture showing our logo puppy as an old dog. It was Danny's picture of Steffi that we started to use as our logo around 12 years ago. Steffi's registered name is Wynona v Moosbach-Zuzelek, and she was born on April 5, 1998. Her parents were Upton von Moosbach-Zuzelek and FC Zuzelek's Gold-Digging Gita.

Danny is an avid bowhunter and antler sheds collector. Steffi helped him recovered some deer in the picture, but he has never used to find sheds. To read John's article about training dog to find antler sheds click here.

Thank you Danny for the great picture and taking a wonderful care of Steffi!
