Die Hauptpersonen / The main actors

Die Woche in Mähring war für die Hunde gedacht. Beide haben eine Menge Spaß am Agility, auch wenn die meisten Leute glauben, dieser Sport wäre nichts für Dackel. 

The week in Mähring was meant for the dogs. They both like agility a lot, though many people believe that sport is not suitable for dachshunds.


Wir hatten jeden Tag knapp 3 Stunden Training. Kuno sieht ein bisschen müde aus - der Kurs war vor allem für ihn.

Each day, we had about three hours of training. Kuno looks a little tired - he is the one who needs training.

Aber zum Glück war Onkel Archie dabei! Archie wird im August 11. Trotzdem rennt er noch wie ein Junger, und wenn Kuno keine Lust mehr hatte, konnte er ihm zeigen wie es geht.
Für Archie gab es in Mähring nur ein Problem:

But luckily, Uncle Archie was there! Archie will be eleven years old in August. But he can still race like a youngster, and when Kuno didn't want to perform any more, he could show him how it is done.
There was only one problem for Archie:


Diese Treppe! Eng und steil, über zwei Stockwerke, das war nichts für einen Dackel.

These stairs! Steep and narrow, connecting three floors, that was not what a dachshund likes.

Ygritte hat inzwischen im Koffer gekramt. Mit einer Hose sieht der Pulli auch gut aus.
Jetzt bin ich warm angezogen. Wir können einen Ausflug machen, Mama!


Meanwhile, Ygritte has been through the luggage. The sweater also looks good worn with trousers.
Now I'm wrapped up nice and warm. We can go for an outing, Mummy!

  1. Awww such cute dogs, and great that Archie still enjoys his training at his not too young age! But yes, those stairs, my little Chihuahuas wouldn't like them that much either! In fact I have two Chis that would run up them, no problem, but then they'd stand at the top looking down, crying their eyes out for me to come and bring them back down again!!!
    I like the sweater with the trousers, the outfit looks very cosy and perfect for the weather you have there :)

    1. The main problem is, Archie is a little afraid of heights, so each morning he stood at the top of the stairs, looking down, trying to convince me he'd rather stay indoors - but in the end, he mastered the stairs, since he wanted to have his training!

  3. Kuno and Archie such fine dogs but those stairs would do me in never mind the poor dogs!
    Maybe next time you need to find a place with a lift , Archie cannot be expected to perform well if he's had to go up an down those stairs! or maybe a big St Bernard to carry them up and down?

    1. There probably will not be a next time. Our trainer has only one week scheduled for next year, and it is already booked out. Well, too slow!

  4. I'm with Archie - three flights of stairs would be too much for me as well. Probably not too much for Ygritte though. She looks like she has a lot of energy.

    1. She has! My dogs would probably perform much better with her in charge... but it was me who wanted to have all the fun!
