Reader Reviews
This review is from: Dachshunds for Dummies (Paperback)
As the President of The Dachshund Rescue Web Page, inc., I have long been seeking a book that would be helpful to those individuals who have chosen to add a dachshund to their lives through rescue. This book is it! Written in a clear and understandable format, Ms. Adamson has captured the idiosyncracies of this special little breed in a manner that will prove valuable not only to the new dachshund owner, but to the person who has been owned by a dachshund for years. A copy of this book will be recommended to each new home with every dachshund placed by the organization in the future. It's that valuable a resource!
