take sn hour telling you why these
sausage dogs are finer than any other
specimen OF the genus csnus.
But % return 20 the subject OF their
persmbulsting proclivitieS When Mrs
Hungerford tells you that the dachs-
hunde can 60 backward As well as for
ward. one marvels that they can 60
either way. for their legs are not more
than three inches long, and 10 the un-
initiated they resemble cross between
an eel and a beagle.
Five wears ago Mrs Hungerforo' JOY
in life was raising prize chickens, and
she hardly knew a Maltese terrier from
an Old English sheepdog. Then some
one presented her with q dachshund
and sll was changed. The chickens
uere allowed 10 scratch for themselves,
fguratively speaking, and Anchenne re-
ceived the alteration Of the household.
After Anehenne had been i'm the fam,
ilv for 8 few weeks Mrs. Hungertord
saw some baby dschshunde IN neigh
boring kennel, and she decided that
bnchenne must have a family In the
FIRST litter were four puppies By the
famous champion Drickes, which was
then the property OF George Senior.
When the babies we're three weeks
old AnChenne was killed by 2 motor car,
ard 10 assuage the grief OF the mother
less puppies Mrs Hungerford purchased
their grandmother. Jupla Won Jungnolz'
and their father Drickes, which m Ger
man means Little Henry.
Mrs. Hungerford said that after
this there was no curbing her desire
for the dschshunde. She bought hall
OF Mr. Semlers kennels and large
consignment from Harry Peters, max
ing q half hundred in All. Since That
time there never has been less than
fifty dogs in the kennels, and al pres
ent there are nearly sixty red, oiacS-
and-tan and a few tigers and long
haired youngsters for variety.
How any one can tell one dachs-
hund from another. especially when
they come in groups Of twelve, is
mystery TO The lay mind. All have
beautiful brown eyes, velvet ears, sat
IN coats, long tails and no legs TO
sneak Of Yet Mrs. Hungerford can
tell YOU the name. pedigree and char
sc;eristics Of each member OF her
flock.
"Here. Tell Won Bersteig; come Boni
Won Lichtenstein and Flick and FLOCK,
she will say. and. more remarkable
than all. each dog knows ms own
name.
Flick and Flock are long-haired dogs,
little sisters by Glen Crest Peter and
Racket South Shore. They are a beau
fiful dark auburn shade and have a
long wavy coat which makes them look
entirely out Of the dachshunde class,
more like a cocker with his legs showed
up into his body.
b. right Of having q most romantic
story attached TO her escutcheon
Anjc Won Lichtenstein is pre-eminent
ir tho kennels. Several years ago
red dachshund matron wandered 20
the Lichtenstein kennels IN Nurmberg,
Germany. She was evidently Of gentle
birth. but no one ever claimed her and,
therefore. she had no pedigree. a lit
ile later the LiChtenstein kennels sent
her 10 America 20 be mated with Mrs.
llungerford's champion. Drickes,
which was considered about the finest
dschs in the world.
Three years ago Mrs. Hungerford
ordered through her agent IN London.

litter which had been sired 10y Drickcs.
This Is Antje Won LichtenstcIL, and
Ante could not be registered in Ameri-
"a because her mother was unknown.
she was shown and became champion
in short order.
The best part Of the South Shore
dechshunde is that Mrs. Hungerford
bred most Of these champions herself.
There is champion Jupla South Shore,
h. Toll Won Bersteic. and JuDla Won
Jungholz; champion Erna, by champion

who is full sister TO Erna; Runkel,
