Pet-Peeves:
The Vaccuum. Having a bath. Plush toys or bones being taken away (I don't share well). Not getting my way! Mean neighbor cats in my yard! Carrots instead of COOKIES! Getting a pawdicure. Anything coming into my domain without invitation- WOOF!

Favorite Toy:
Plush toys, Black Kong, Rope toy, Red Barn Bully Sticks (kind of a toy since it's a special treat I play with it until it's all in my tummy).

Favorite Food:
Raw chicken, raw beef, grilled fish, Dr. Pitcairn DVM recipes, apples, dried apricots, some grated veggies (some raw some steamed), yogurt, peanut butter, CHEESE!

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere. Locally: Elings Park, Hendry's Beach, Tuckers Grove, Carp bluffs, Summerland Beach, State Street downtown. Any walk with my pals and potential fun or potential admirers.

Best Tricks:
Posing nicely for the show ring. Fetching toys when I want to. Now that I'm a champion we're working to expand my repetoire. I've tried Earthdog, we're starting some obedience, rally, field trials this year. I'm a Canine Ambassador.

Arrival Story:
The bipedess wanted a dog small enough to fit in a pet carry on bag at her feet on an airplane, but with a big dog personality. It was a tough decision between adopting a rescue Smooth Dachshund or getting a dog from a breeder let alone the choice on whether to get a Standard Dachshund or a mini (Francis is a Standard). Decided for this first dog to search for a reputable breeder for a good pet from good breeding. She didn't expect to find her once in a lifetime dog or to become active in conformation (dog shows). I have introduced her to many amazing dogs (of the heinz 57 and purebred varieties) and people. Through doing breeder research a referral led the bipedess to someone local who bred on occasion for conformation. This breeder didn't have anything available but let her come over and meet his dogs so the bipedess could see temperment and size of his dogs. Weeks later he contacted the bipedess after being at a show where he saw a puppy a friend had. I was kept back by the breeder as best male in the litter with one sister. She decided she didn't want to keep a male so was looking for a good home that was open to my being shown. He told the bipedess that she had to see/meet me. The breeder brought me into town to her friends house where the bipedess met me. I was four months old. She didn't want to make a brash decision as she didn't have anything to take a puppy home and it was a Sunday afternoon so the bipedess made herself sleep on it. Like she could sleep (so she says!). The very next morning she contacted the breeder and because of the breeders schedule the bipedess couldn't get me for almost two weeks! Plenty of time to do all that shopping and plan many days off work to adjust with the puppy. She drove 2 hours to get me, brought a friends son with her (teenager) and she drove while he held me on his lap. I was kind of sad and scared at first but soon I settled down and fell to sleep. The rest is history!

Bio:
Where my name comes from: Flash back say seven years. When the bipedess would talk with friends about the dog she wanted to get when she cut back her travel and could provide a great home environment. She wanted a mini smooth Dachshund bitch that she would name Frances and then call Frankie or Frank-or was that Phranc? OR SO SHE THOUGHT
