Description
this is of course the sweetest and bravest dachshund i know, because it is our's :-)
he is 12 years old, playful like a pup, extremely friendly to people but he hates big bullies like rothweilers, dobermans and german shepherds.
as with all dachshunds he has an ego that is bigger than the empire state building. he is very obedient, when i say, are you coming or are you not, he comes, or he comes not.
i took several photos and he choose this one. no photoshopping allowed (but, between me and you and the lamp post, he insisted on this one because his grey nose is cleverly covered by the shadow :-)
(i posted one some time ago which shows his grey nose, but i did not tell him)

He looks wonderful, he has a perfect figure. My Fritz is obsessed by food, and because he is on medication for epilepsy, has an even more urgent need for it than is common in most of his breed. He is on 3oz a day (75gms) and has to lose anothe 1.5 kilo. He thinks I am trying to starve him to death. I have shown him this photo, but he was unimpressed, "HUH!" he said.

Haha, je laat me weer lachen ! Nooit zo'n gehoorzaam hond ontmoet, haha ... tenzij mijn vierpotertje...'t luistert op identiek dezelfde manier. Zeer mooie foto overigens.

WOW! What a perfect shaped doggie. You can tell him that, Koosie and he has a beautiful nose too. I just hope he never understood what his name means. ;-) It is a lovely capture :-D

A beautiful animal.

Very handsome dog! Nice shot!

Oh what a handsome chap and in such great shape for a 12 year old! My Chiquita (also brown smooth haired) was 14 when I lost her and now I have the new black & tan puppy!!! They have such character....

He's so very handsome. The blocking of the muzzle is fabulous and his points are tremendous. No dog touches me deeper than the doxie does and this is indeed a very noble example. Beautiful animal and outstanding shot.

yes this look says it all, i have seen this before many times :) it appears peaceful but the dachshund only does this to make the humans believe everything is fine . this is a wonderful shot of your good friend, koosie, so beautifully seen, puts a smile on my face and i would love to know what he is thinking about :)

How sweet :) Very handsome little fellow. My Coco is a sunworshipper like him too.. nothing like warm rays through the window to make a girl happy.

Goedenavond, Mijnheer Kruimeltje! I love Martin's comment, that he looks peaceful only to put on an act for us. And Helle, about his name. (He probably knows you guys call him "Little Crumb" and he's being very stoic about it. You don't know what he's saying behind your back though...) A beautiful dog, and this capture captures his smooth coat & gentle coloring. And his nose is fine as far as I can see. And I remember the older upload of K: I remember--from the title in my ebots--that I thought he'd passed away! I was really relieved that he hadn't...Beautiful capture, and I'm sure he's a terrific dog. (You know, I'm sure, that "dachshund" means "badger dog," meaning they were supposedly bred to ferret-out badgers. So, does K check the closets for badgers? Or is he so above that, he just says, "other dachs, they hunt badgers. Me? I read a lotta Proust...")

What a lovely dog! I'm glad you shared this with us.

12 years for such a dog is around eighty for a man. Pets allow us to live more peacefully, I suppose. This one could be my friend because I often saw that dogs attitude were similar to their owners attitude. I don't like rothweilers, dobermans and generally german shepherds : these dogs are ( or were ) often gangs, skins or nazis pets. They are often dangerous ...We have had a lot of accidents or aggressions with such dogs in France. That's why Rothweilers are not welcome. One of my daughters has been seriously bitten by a german shepherd...without reason.

A magnificent dog, Koosie! He posed so perfectly, and displays the rightfully proud countenance of a brave man. Great shot by his proud owner too.

Very nice dog!

When I was a child, our neighbors had a dachshund called Jenny so we called them Jenny dogs. I still slip and call them that sometimes. Kruimeltje looks very handsome and dignified. He looks handsome with his grey nose too. Lovely light and shadows and beautiful image.

A very handsome, regal, and dignified personage. Yet I detect a loving nature, and a strong sense of loyalty and a definite sense of humor! A wonderful portrait!
Chipka
What a LONG dog! I love them! They are loyal and quite clever...and in this case, he's well lit! Animals are such wonderful companions and he looks incredibly friendly and even protective. This is a marvelous work of photographic art, and I'm glad to see that not all four-legged models are anxious to move just as the camera shutter clicks.

Nice

I love how serene he looks. The colors are lovely and the pose is stately. The lighting and shadows are perfect. What a beautiful dog and it sounds like he has a great personality.
