Dr. Jay Griffin with Beanie: Researchers hope that Illomostat may help dogs avoid paralysis if it can be administered within hours of an injury’s occurrence
Dachshunds are one of the breeds most susceptible to spinal cord injuries so it’s a great to hear about a promising drug trial that may mean fewer wiener dogs in wheelchairs.
At the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, in a study funded by the U.S. Department of Defense with a $750,000 grant, the drug Illomostat is being given to short-legged, long-torso dog breeds like dachshunds, beagles and corgis in the hopes that if it is successful it can eventually be used on humans who suffer trauma to the spinal cord.
MSNBC has the details including the story of Beanie, a wheelchair-bound Dachshund whose veterinarian owner works at Texas A&M.
Poor Malachy the Pekingese. The little guy’s been dealing with a lot of haterz since he won the 2012 Westminster title earlier this week. While the Dachshund News agrees that his handler, David Fitzpatrick, was a bit OCD with that omnipresent purple brush, we don’t think Malachy should be blamed for that. The Pekes we’ve known have always been pretty tough little dogs. And according to www.webvet.com, they are the toy dog most appealing to men. Famous owners of Pekingese include Alice Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, Elizabeth Taylor and Pakistan’s former President, Pervez Musharraf (shown below).
The Pekingese is the preferred toy dog of macho men and dictators

A journalist colleague of mine used to say that stories involving dogs, sex or Kennedys should always be considered for the front page, so clearly when you’ve got two out of three, it’s still news even if the photo was shot in 1937.
Here’s John F. Kennedy with “Dunker” the Dachshund puppy in Den Haag, the Netherlands while touring Europe that summer of 1937. Aren’t they both cute?
If you’re interested, you can buy the photo from the JFK Library.
And for all you Kennedy aficionados, you may want to read about the Dachshund connection to the Kennedy assassination.

Our Dachshund rescue can use some help this holiday season or most any season. If you have any used dog collars and leashes, dog toys, coats and sweaters, blankets, or most anything doggy related then we are running short with donations dropping off in recent years. New and used is always fine. We do take care packages if you are downsizing your spoiled dogs collection of unused toys or leashes, etc. I like to send toys with all adoptable dogs and my toy box is now empty! ARRGGH! The dog toys need not be new, but not in pieces please. If you have some extra items then we can use them or get them to other dog rescuers in this area who can use help too. Cash donations are always welcome too at PayPal: dragoonfr@hotmail.com Thanks in advance and please have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season. Dachshund Rescue NW since 1991 and over 700 used wieners recycled. www.spokanewienerdogs.org Our currently adoptable dogs: www.drnw.petfinder.com We are still recovering from a fire that wiped out our dog rescue in October 2009 so any help is always greatly appreciated!
This is a puppy mill boy we rescued this year, Hero, in this photo. He was a challenge to get through to him, but Hero has turned into a cuddle bug with his new family. Hero is just one of 86 “recycled wieners” that we have already placed this year and counting, a new record!
