These two brothers arrived 2 years ago as irritating 9 week old babies. All they seemed to do when small was to eat, fight and get in everyone’s way.

Shortly after arrival, Anton started chewing everything, and he hasn’t stooped since. He also grew from a tiny little chap into a 30lb monster. I swear that he is still growing!  He’s a bit of a bully, due to his massive size, and there have been occasions where he hasn’t been submissive as he should have been, and I ended up at the vet’s being superglued back together again.  What chance does a lad like me, a mere 10lbs worth, when a 30lb monster decides to fight me? However, things have got better since he has an ‘operation’…. hee hee hee!

Otto is Anton’s litter brother, and luckily he is no where as big. He is everyone’s best friend and very sweet natured and gentle. Our (human) cousins keep saying that they want to kidnap him, but he is the only one I get on with, so maybe they would like to take the other two instead?  Otto is our hunter, having been well taught by Hughie. He also is our chief barker, and digger. A truly talented dachsie!

The picture shows them as babies, when at least I was still bigger than them!

Hughie is my 10 year old half-brother. He is a real pain-in-the-neck as he thinks that he is in line for the boss’s job. No way!  He is the first candidate for sending elsewhere, as we have never really got on.  He also looks older than me, is fatter and not nearly as handsome.  The only thing he is really good at is catching dead mice and frogs, and he has trained our baby brother Otto to do the same.
