To follow my regular blog posts, go to the menu at the top of the page and click on “De & the Dachsies – Follow Our Rambles”. That page has a listing of my blog posts, starting with the most recent. Enjoy!
For more winter antics, check out my blog posts … a little snow doesn’t slow these guys down!


At age 10, Baxter is still my #1 Nose Work and was a fun Agility partner, always happy to be working (or playing) his favorite sports. Baxter’s current titles include NW3x2, plus all 4 Element titles (K9 Nose Work), AKC Scent Work Novice Handler Discrimination title, SWA (PSD Scent Work Advanced), TDA (Trick Dog Advanced), and was trialing at Open level NADAC Agility when we retired him in 2019. He also enjoys Rally Obedience, Freestyle (Heeling to Music) and has dabbled in Flyball.

Rhonda is the baby of the family. At two years of age, she is still full of puppy antics. In spite of that, she has already obtained her first titles in Trick Dog (Advanced), K9 Nose Work (NW1 & NW2), AKC Scent Work Novice and Open Barn Hunt title. We are just starting our journey into AKC Rally and Agility. Possibly tracking and Fast-Cat too! Stay tuned!
I’ll be adding loads of content here as I develop this site. I’m hoping Baxter and Ronni will find lots of followers who will enjoy watching their dog sports videos as well as following their everyday and travel antics. More to come!
I am saddened to announce that Rhonda and Baxter (and I) have recently lost a very special “big sister” (to the weens). Abby was a large part of our household for the past 13 years, and although she passed peacefully over the Bridge on a terribly sad day in May 2020, her impact on our lives has been huge. We will always remember our precious Miss Abby. She is forever in our hearts.

RIP sweet angel
Aloha! Love hearing all about the dachshunds and their antics and Abby too,
