Ten Great Choices for Your Dachsie Bookshelf
Millions of dog books, so little time! Here are a few fun Dachshund books to add to your collection, if you have one (and if you don't, why not start one right now?):
The Culture Clash, by Jean Donaldson (James & Kenneth Publishers). You'll never look at training a dog the same way again. When you read this, you'll keep saying, "Ohhhh! I get it!"
Don't Shoot the Dog! The New Art of Teaching and Training, by Karen Pryor (Ringpress Books Ltd). Another really helpful book on dog training.
Dig In! Earthdog Training Made Easy, by Mario Migliorini (Howell Book House). Learn more about the sport of earthdog to help channel your Dachsie's desire to dig.
Adopting a Pet For Dummies, by Eve Adamson (Wiley). Learn more about adopting dogs from shelters and pet rescue groups.
The Ugly Dachshund, by G.B. Stern (J.N. Townsend Publishing). This classic novel from 1938 is a Dachshund story . . . and a story about people, too.
Day of the Dachshund, by Jim Dratfield (Clarkson Potter). An adorable and beautiful book of artistic Dachshund photos.
Wiener Dog Art: A Far Side Collection, by Gary Larson (Time Warner Paperbacks). You'll love these hilarious Dachshund-inspired art "reproductions."
Albert, the Dog Who Liked to Ride in Taxis, by Cynthia Zarin (Atheneume). Indispensable for the city-dwelling toddler set.
Pretzel, by H.A. Rey and Margaret Rey (Houghton Mifflin). A classic children's book from the authors of Curious George.
Gretchen The Bicycle Dog, by Anita Heyman (Dutton Juvenile). In this fascinating children's book, a Dachshund ruptures a spinal disk and becomes paralyzed but is determined to stay moving. Her family buys her a cart and then she lives a happy life. This book would be great for kids in a family whose Dachshund has this problem.
