Dachshunds Short and Long [Hardcover]

Amanda Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 4, 2005

With a pleasing shape and an expressive nature, the dachshund is a popular companion. Be they standard, mini, or 'tweeny,' smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired, these pups have giant-sized courage-and an unending supply of affection. Fond of belly rubs and snacks, and stubborn when it comes to getting what they want, these little hounds will give "The Look," and their owners find themselves giving them anything they ask for-including one more treat.

The many people who love these dogs know it is impossible to sum up all of the wonderful qualities of this special breed. People owned by dachshunds are lucky people, indeed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yes, the book is short but not long, August 29, 2006

This review is from: Dachshunds Short and Long (Hardcover)

I ordered this book after reading a SF Chronicle review of other works by Amanda Jones, who clearly loves dogs. I found the book a little lacking--it's a very short book with photos of the dachshunds of her friends. Two of the cutest photos are on the front and back covers of the book jacket and NOT reproduced in the book--another shortcoming. I was not overwhelmed by this book and would not have bought it if I had seen it in a bookstore and perused it. I own two mini dachshunds and thought this would be more clever--and two dogs long--in it's treatment of our beloved weiner dogs.

This review is from: Dachshunds Short and Long (Mass Market Paperback)

The long and short of this book is get ready for smiles, laughs and fun. The photos are darling and the quotes thought provoking.

An example of a quote is, "You say my nose, sir, reminds you of a dachshund?... That is the first flattering remark anyone has made of it." ---Cyrano De Bergerac

A book that both adults and children can enjoy at many different levels and times.

5.0 out of 5 stars From an owner of a wiener in this book..., April 27, 2007

This review is from: Dachshunds Short and Long (Hardcover)

I met Amanda at a SPCA gathering, she is a wonderful person and very kind. Of course I love this book, because my pooch is in there a few times! A bunch of great wieners met up at the beach for an afternoon of shooting, we had a blast! Amanda has a knack for capturing the essence of her subjects, which you can also see in her other books. I love her work, even if my doxie wasn't in here!
