Now to allow outcrossing with other breeds which have varieties, and then on to other breeds which are related in type, etc. Baby steps will do if they end somewhere.<br /><br />To cut the EKC some slack, the Dalmatian problem is up to the AKC to solve, if the AKC recognises the Dalmatians with the distant Pointer outcross, then the other world KCs will follow.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006075001499122123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-67695692647004989962009-06-11T23:19:36.906-04:002009-06-11T23:19:36.906-04:00Teckels used to be interbred all the time.

I mean there are some differences--like the wire-haired are more game, because the wire-hairs are more often used for hunting and long-hairs sometimes are softer in temperament, because they are part spaniel.<br /><br />What worries me about them is not just their eyes, but their backs. These dogs are meant to have short legs and long backs. They were not meant to have exactly the same conformation as weasels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-72256048678786015702009-06-11T21:33:23.501-04:002009-06-11T21:33:23.501-04:00Patrick,

When you use the name "Kennel Club" some people might be confused and think that you are talking about the AKC. The Kennel Club in the United Kingdom and the AKC in the USA are two different kennel clubs, and they are very different indeed when it comes to dachshunds. In the USA there is only one breed - the dachshund (regardless the size or coat variety) - and nobody here needs permission to cross wirehairs with smooths or minis with standards. Breeders can cross coats and sizes as they desire or need.Jolanta Jeanneneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113765650029370103noreply@blogger.com
