We also had a regitered stanard dachshund. She was the red/brown. It was a gift for our daughter and she named her Sugar Bear. We also a mutt that was 1/2 basset and 1/2 chow chow. Boxing Gloves. Gloves weighed 75 pounds and loved to play tug a war with his chew rope.
Gloves was 5 when we got Suger Bear who was 3 months old. One of the first things Gloves did was take his rope to Suger Bear. Sugar grabed end of the rope and Gloves slung her across the floor! They had a blst together and Sugar became a very muscular pup with all the tug a wars she had with Gloves. ANd their mutal best friend was Baby Kitty. She would go up to them when they were sleeping together and squeeze herself in between them. I swear they looked like a cat sandwich. LMAO! Gloves and Sugar are now at Rainbow Bridge. Baby Kitty is Still with and is 17 1/2 years old now.
As I was just petting my beloved dachshund and thinking about how beautiful he is, this question popped into my head: For the owners of purebred dogs, if you have them registered with the AKC what is their AKC name and why did you choose it?

Since I have a black and tan smooth dachshund and dahcshund means "badgerdog" in German, I registered him as Wilhelm Irwin Rommel so I could call him Willie for short and the other part being the name of my favorite German General from WWII, Irwin Rommel, The "Desert Fox". I LOVE my dog!!!

This is not the first time something we wanted to do was thwarted because of this.
But yet with our birthdays right next to each other we never have forgotten those. Mine Sept 23, his Sept 24. LMAO!
Edit: Typo
Dachshunds, of course, with their long backs and short legs are prone to spinal problems and degenerative disk disease so it is extremely important not to let them get over-weight which my guy is right now. We've cut down on his food intake and trying very hard to limit treats and table scraps though he "gets lucky" if one of the kids drops something when they're eating.
His registered name was Diesel Von Boof because he never laid down he use to just fall to the floor and that was the sound he made, boof!
