Sausage dogs are under threat — cue the magnitude-8 earthquake which has thundered across the upper middle class Britain that loves dachshunds.
Everyone can steady their display cabinet china for now, however, as the darling wiener dog is so far only under the microscope in Germany — quite the backstabbing move, if you ask me as they bred them to go down the badger holes in the first instance. In the most recent draft of Germany’s Animal Protection Act, they are set on clamping down on “torture breeding” by halting the reproduction of pooches with traits causing "pain, suffering or damage". All sounds agreeable, right?
