Long Dog Stats...

So you probably all know that over the years we have registered 713 dachshund members.  Sadly some of those have passed on or moved away, but that is still a lot of sausages.


I thought it would be interesting to share a few fun facts about our membership.

Did you know;

The six most common names for dachshund in our group are;

Frankie/Frank	17
Ruby	12
Lucy	8
Dexter	7
Molly	7
Dash/Dasha/Dasher	7

354 of our members have a name that is currently unique within our group.

77% of our members are miniature, 8% are standard and 15% not recorded.

The top 3 suburbs with the highest number of recorded members are;

Canning Vale
Aveley
Victoria Park

However - of course there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.  I know for a fact that I met two dogs with the same name on the weekend, and only one of them is registered as a member...

If you'd like to be a registered member of Long Dogs WA, please email us a photo of your dog, his or her name, coat, size and suburb and few words that capture your dogs' character. I'd love to say that membership comes with a secret handshake and a decoder ring - but you will get a blog post and a sense of belonging.

My new doo...

When to buy a dog...

If you want someone who will bring you the paper without first tearing it apart to remove the sports section...
Then buy a dog.

If you want someone willing to make a fool of himself simply over the joy of seeing you...
Then buy a dog. 


If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never say its not quite as good as his mother made it... 
Then buy a dog. 

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want. 
Then buy a dog. 

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies ...
Then buy a dog. 

If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores ...
Then buy a dog. 

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually.
Then buy a dog. 

But, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness... 

Then my friend buy a cat!


I bet some of you thought I was talking about men didn't you!!!
