H. P. Lovecraft
American Novelist
No breed of cats in its proper condition can by any stretch of the imagination be thought of as even slightly ungraceful - a record against which must be pitted the depressing spectacle of impossibly flattened bulldogs, grotesquely elongated dachshunds, hideously shapeless and shaggy Airedales, and the like.
Quote examples
Molly Ivins
American Journalist
I've said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were 'German dogs.' They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.
Quote examples
Diana Gabaldon
American Author
My husband gets up at around 5.30 A.M., so I'll tuck him in around 9.30 P.M. or 10 P.M., and then I'll go and lie down on the couch with a book and my two dachshunds.
Quote examples
Robert Benchley
American Comedian
Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other.
Quote examples
Robert Graysmith
I had a dog named Basil, and he's the hero of the book 'Animal Firm.' Oddly enough he's a dachshund, which is not really my kind of dog.

Terry Wogan
Irish Entertainer
Most television could be presented by a dachshund. Radio can't, although there are a lot of dachshunds in there.

Richard Coles
English Musician
My dachshunds are not substitutes for children. But the pattering of tiny feet around the place is a joy.
