We are pleased to present Dan Harrison’s remembrance of the great Dee Hutchinson and their early relationship in Dachshunds: https://www.dachshundhistoryonline.com/?p=21150
Do you have great stories from your past in Dachshunds or other articles you would like to share? Let us know!
The team behind The Dachshund History Project wanted to take a few minutes to again thank Meg and Keith Williamson (Gemdach) for all the time, work and expense it took for them to donate years and years (many complete) of American Dachshund and Dachshund Variety magazines to the effort here at TDHP. While we have cobbled together our own collections, we didn’t come close to having such a complete compilation on our own. The American Dachshunds sent by the Williamson’s go all the way back to 1949! These magazine photos will help ensure that we have photos of old Dachshunds important to our breed, and perhaps even some photos that were otherwise lost to us. We firmly believe that by understanding our past, we are more able to improve our future.
If you have old photos or magazines you would like to donate or allow us to borrow (scan), please let us know what you have. Alternatively, you can scan things and email them to us, or if you don’t have the ability to scan, perhaps we can find someone in your area to assist.
We do appreciate monetary contributions, which allow us to forward-pay maintenance for the website in terms of hosting, the yearly domain fee, and donations for the themes and plugins we use, along with the occasional professional help for issues that are beyond our skill sets (it’s amazing how much goes into that effort). We also use monetary donations to selectively acquire items we think are unique and important to the history of the show Dachshund in the United States. Lastly, donations cover shipping costs for folks who want to donate things we are missing from the TDHP archives, but who cannot afford to ship from their own pocket. We are determined to preserve and display as much as possible for the Dachshund Fancy!
Click on Contribute here or on the far left of the top navigation pane for all the particulars.
We allow and encourage anyone or any club to link to TDHP. Please just shoot us an email (via the Contact page) to let us know you are doing so. However, we do not want any of our information reproduced in part or in whole on any other website. In other words, you can list links all day long, but if you want to copy and paste from our site to yours, you cannot.
Thanks in advance!
These guidelines will remain on a permanent page on the top navigation, but we wanted everyone to see it right away, given the volume of questions coming our way.
Guidelines For Photographs Submitted to TDHP:
The submitter must agree he/she is the lawful owner of the photo or is authorized to publish said photo and that we cannot be held responsible for copyright issues. We will immediately remove a photo if it was wrongfully submitted.
If you need our email address to send an attachment, please use the Contact form to let us know you have an attachment to send and we will email you our address. We are trying to control spam to this inbox so we do not miss any of your emails!
Guidelines for ROM/X/O Corrections or Additions:
Wow! What a whirlwind! We are so excited and grateful so many Dachshund people spent time on TDHP right away. In less than 18 hours, most of which were overnight hours, we have had almost 2000 page views on the site. We are completely blown away!
As you look around, please be aware of the following:
We welcome feedback, so don’t be shy! If you have high resolution photos you would like to send, let us know via the Contact page and we will send you the email address directly. To avoid spam, we don’t want to put the address on the site.
THANK YOU!
We are getting close to our official launch! We have set up a page to accept contributions, both of information and funds. In the next couple of weeks, ROM/X/O pages will be fully edited for format. Please note that very few ROM pages are fully complete. We need the help of owners and breeders to fully flesh out the individual ROM pages, so please send us pictures and bios for your ROM designees!
Please feel free to look around the site, and should you have information you think we help us with pages, please share!
We are particularly looking for stories you might have on some of the great kennels of the past. Inclusion criteria demands that these kennels no longer be actively breeding or showing.
If you have ideas on other subjects to include on this site, please let us know via the Contact page.
We hope you are enjoying your time here and we hope you come back often.
We are getting started with this project and we are so excited!
