"Petographer" Jim Dratfield captures the quintessential essence of the Dachshund in this book of artfully-done, sepia-toned photographs. It's a shame the Amazon listing fails to include a few of the shots inside the text, which run the gamut from a pair of doxies dressed in hot-dog costumes to a couple regarding each other with the doleful Dachshund "love-eyes," all accompanied by fairly clever captions (like "Kosher hot dogs" when the aforementioned weiner-dogs in bun costumes have donned Jewish yarmulkes). Although a few of the photos and captions are less-than-effectively selected, on the whole, "Day of the Dachshund" offers an excellent selection of cute Dachshunds doing what they do best: look cute and silly at the same time.

I received this book as a Xmas present last year. I am a full time doxies mom and i am in love with the breed. I am also a graphic designer, I think this book is VERY well designed and all the photographs have a great sense of design. The short title on every page makes me smile and the author/photographer KNOW exactly what a dachshund personalities are. This book is very good for everybody, every ages. Kids will enjoy this book as much as an adult. a dachahund NON lover will love this book as much as a dachshund lover because of the way the book designed. Kids also can learn how to read by using this box, BIG BOLD SIMPLE Types make all the photos in everypage POP-UP. One picture per page (aka minimalize) makes this book looks very LUXURY. I dont understand of ppl saying this book doesnt have enough pictures , hello.... this is a $18.00 worth of money! this book is so well designed! I think this book has more than enough BEAUTIFUL pictures! anyway, if you have $18 tp spare on a book.... and if you appreciate good design/photograph.. or if you are just a dachshund lover... this is a MUST HAVE book!!!!

This is a wonderful book for dog lovers in general, but it is especially good for dachshund lovers. The pictures and captions truly capture the personalities of these wonderful, independent dogs!

If you love doxies - and who doesn't? - this book is about as cute as you can get. Lots of pictures of doxies in various poses with clever statements about the pictures. For example, the caption for the doxie on the cover is "doxie with moxie". That doxie on the cover gives you an idea of what's inside. This is just super fun to look through. I often look through the book before I go to bed so I can fall to sleep with a smile on my face. Kids would love this book.

I got this book as a gift for a dachshund lover. It's definitely cute, with a lot of great dachshund photos. It does have a good "hot dog" assemblage. However, all of the photos are black and white (actually, sepia-toned). It would have been nice to have a mix of color and sepia, especially as some dachshunds have different shades of brown. The book went over well with my family's dachshund-lovers, so I can definitely recommend it.

A must for any dachshund lover! Beautiful photos of our beloved breed! Highly recommended for all weiner dog moms and dads! Great gift!

I'm glad I added this book to my weiner-dog collection. It's not Earth-shattering and one you gotta have though and definitely geared to dachshund lovers/owners. Does have cute pictures of doxies.

This is a wonderful compilation of dachshund pictures that will delight anyone who is in love with the breed. One is sure to find pictures that will be among their favorites.

If you are a dachshund owner, then you know that every day with your dachshund is in their minds their day. The title of this book says it all. It portrays dachshunds doing their daily funny habits. Well worth the money!

The most affectionate dog breed has been well portrayed with comical sense of captions with each picture.

For all Dachshund lovers this is a must. It is not big nor thick.
so, it is easy for anyone to go through in short time, which makes you wish for a bigger or thicker book with more photos. :)

Over all, this book confirms WHY you love Dachshunds.
