Dachshunds, aka sausages (that’s what I call them), are among the most expressive dogs. With their big ears and their eyes… I have a soft spot for them & I love it.

A very common say about Dachshund is:

Dachshunds Train You

It’s possible to train a Dachshund but it will take a lot of patience and also a lot of consistency. Often training a …

Bowser, a French Bulldog, looks so serious. He reminds of Robert De Niro when he said in Taxi Driver:

“You talkin’ to me?”

To me, Bowser looks like a gangster in a Black & White movie from the 1940s. In fact, Bowser’s not like that. He’s just on a mission of walking with Lena. Everybody has to get out of his way. As …

I did photo at the Vancouver Dragon Boat Races.

Cookie, the Basenji, is not interested in watching the Dragon Boat races. As long as she is on the shoulders of her owner, she’s happy. It all started when they went for hiking and there a very rocky portion of the hike. Cookie, the Basenji, could not climb some of the rocks, so …

He will run like this, dropping and picking up a branch here, a stick there …

This dog is patiently waiting for his biscuit. He’s patient and he wants to be paid for his work. He’s laying in the middle of the stairs. That way he makes sure that nobody can pass by and forgets that he hasn’t been paid yet. “He worked hard, now pay-up.”

He looks like a German Shepherd puppy, but he’s 13 years …

Cashew is a half pitbull and half who knows what.

Cashew is the reason why so many people love their pitbulls. He’s so nice and gentle. He doesn’t want to offend anybody. He won’t look directly at anybody, including me. Looking at me directly could be a sign of aggression. He doesn’t even take my treats.

Cashew’s past was unknown …

Yoda is an old pug.

He rides in a bicycle sidecar designed like an old German plane from World War I. It should be a motorcycle, but it’s a bicycle.

His name is Yoda just like the Yoda from the Star Wars serie.

Yoda, the pug, is supposed to be wise with the ‘wisdom of the force’. He puts up with the leather helmet …
