Need a good laugh? Check out Crusoe the Celebrity Dachschund – the top dog in Canadian social media! This lovable Doxie is known for donning costumes and acting out adventures in his Vine and youtube videos. He and his brother, Oakley, get into all sorts of excitement on camera, including fighting crime and saving the world. You can read all about it on Crusoe’s blog, which won best pet blog at the 2013 and 2014 weblog awards (bloggies).

Canadian Wiener Festivals

005-1

There are several Dachshund festivals that happen across Canada, such as the Wienerfest Home County Festival. Their spokes dog, Blue, was found in a dumpster, thrown away like trash, but now he’s the star of the show. The next event is happening on June 20th 2015 in Embro, Ontario. You can also catch Blue and other Dachshund friends at Facebook.com/WienerFestHomeCountyFestival.

These are just a handful of the many examples of Canada’s famous Doxies. With their cute little feet, wagging tails, and soft floppy ears, can you blame us for being fans? They may be small, but Dachshunds sure pack a lot of love.
