Welcome to my Home
Please come in and play with me, I love making new
friends!
My Name is Treasure! I am a 5 year old Dachund/Cocker
Spaniel
My Mom adopted me from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter when I was 6
months old. I love to make new friends, play with my tennis balls and my
human sisters, Dad & Mum, & my Kitten friend who thinks she's a
dog. My Dad is my favorite.
Longhaired Dachshund
Coat--The sleek, glistening, often slightly wavy hair is
longer under the neck and on the forechest, the underside of the body, the
ears, and behind the legs. The coat gives the dog an elegant appearance.
Short hair on the ear is not desirable. Too profuse a coat which masks
type, equally long hair over the whole body, a curly coat, or a pronounced
parting on the back are faults. Tail--Carried gracefully in
prolongation of the spine; the hair attains its greatest length here and
forms a veritable flag. Color of Hair--Same as for the smooth
Dachshund. Nose and nails--same as for the smooth.
Temperament
The Dachshund is clever, lively and courageous to the point of
rashness, persevering in above and below ground work, with all the senses
well-developed. Any display of shyness is a serious fault.
Cocker Spaniel
Temperament
Equable in temperament with no suggestion of timidity.
The Cocker Spaniel is the smallest member of the
Sporting Group. He has a sturdy, compact body and a cleanly chiseled and
refined head, with the overall dog in complete balance and of ideal size.
He stands well up at the shoulder on straight forelegs with a topline
sloping slightly toward strong, moderately bent, muscular quarters. He is
a dog capable of considerable speed, combined with great endurance. Above
all, he must be free and merry, sound, well balanced throughout and in
action show a keen inclination to work. A dog well balanced in all parts
is more desirable than a dog with strongly contrasting good points and
faults.

Top 10 Reasons Why It's Great To Be A Dog
1. If it itches, you can reach it. And no
matter where it itches, no one will be offended if you scratch it
in public.
2. No one notices if you have hair growing in
weird places as you get older.
3. Personal hygiene is a blast: No one
expects you to take a bath every day, and you don't even have to
comb your own hair.
4. Having a wet nose is considered a sign of
good health.
5. No one thinks less of you for passing gas.
Some people might actually think you're cute.
6. Who needs a big home entertainment system?
A bone or an old shoe can entertain you for hours.
7. You can spend hours just smelling stuff.
8. No one ever expects you to pay for lunch
or dinner. You never have to worry about table manners, and if you
gain weight, it's someone else's fault.
9. It doesn't take much to make you happy.
You're always excited to see the same old people. All they have to
do is leave the room for five minutes and come back.
10. Every garbage can looks like a cold
buffet to you. |
