Welcome to Von Links Dachshunds web site!!  We’re a small band of dachshund fanciers who would like to share our wonderful experiences in the breed with you.  Lucy Granowicz, Von Links Dachshunds (formerly Arimich), and Connie Delaney, CAD'S Dachshunds, are both located near Tampa, Florida.  Ray Chaplin (Raymond H Chaplin), PBD Dachshunds, is in West Palm Beach, Florida. All three own, love, breed and show standard longhaired dachshunds, and Lucy has miniature smooth dachshunds as well.  Our fourth member and very dear friend is Emily Ward in Cornish, Maine who nurtures both wonderful longhairs and junior handlers.  She has taken several of our finished champions and put them back in the ring with up and coming juniors, the future of our sport.  As enthusiasts and breeders of AKC champions we want to share with you, so please browse our site and enjoy yourselves.

Crusoe The Celebrity Dachshund 

Calfornia Girl and her friend Cooper were lucky enough to meet Crusoe.  He had a Pawograph party in the center of downtown L.A. There were a couple of hundred humans and dogs who came to meet Crusoe and his humans. The bookstore said that there was another author event that night and she (the author) was a little miffed that Crusoe's crowd far exceeded hers.  Way to go Crusoe!

The purpose of Earthdog tests is to measure the dogs' natural aptitude and trained hunting and working behaviors when exposed to an underground hunting situation. Small Terriers and Dachshunds can compete in Earthdog Tests. At an Earthdog test, the dog goes through a wood tunnel in the ground and barks and digs at caged rats at the end of the tunnel. For more information on Earthdog, click on the "Earthdog" tab at the top of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Dachshshund Club's website:
