Dasher
February 15, 1986 - March 3, 1996
Dasher was a specialty show winner and the mother, grandmother and great-grandmother of
champions. Her sire was Ch Braaehaus Sailing Along, a recessive longhair littermate of Am
Can Ch Braaehaus Big Buoy, a Dachshund Club of America National Specialty Show Best of
Variety winner. She had three litters, producing champions in all three, including an
impressive Best of Opposite Sex to the Best of Variety by her daughter Ch Jordemm's Black Magic at the Dachshund Club of Greater Buffalo.
Dasher was renowned for her keen hunting ability and the many unauthorized yard escapes
from our house to go hunting. But Dasher was, above all, our friend, bed warmer and
baby-sitter. She dutifully put our children Jordan and Emma to sleep each night, and then
migrated to our bed. She gently woke me every morning to ask for breakfast, and when
camping or traveling in the car, always protected us from strangers.
Now, Dasher-doo, there is no more pain and suffering; now you can hunt and chase small
game as you did when you were young. And sometime later, we may meet again.
