As many of you might already know, I have quite the collection of tricks up my sleeve paw. My mom started helping me to learn tricks when I was just a wee pup and at just barely a year old I did my very first live performance at the 2010 Equine Extravaganza Talent Competition with my buddy Minnow the pony. Minnow and I took home the champion title and we’ve never looked back since!
Since then I have gone on to perform at expos, schools, fairs, and I’ve even been spotted in a few television commercials.
While my pony friend Minnow more often than not accompanies me to such performances (he’s been doing this a lot longer than I have), I sometimes have to perform on my own too.
This year I will again be attending the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue as their special celebrity performer – which means I need to start working on some new and exciting tricks!
I’ve got a few I’ve been working on (with a few training miss-haps along the way….not to worry, no dachshunds were harmed). But here’s where I need your help! I need your suggestions on what tricks I can add to my performance.
So leave a comment, post them on my Facebook page, or shoot me an e-mail. I’d love to hear what tricks you’d like to see! I know you guys will have some fantastic ideas!

Congratulations on your nomination! You’re one of our favorites! You truly are an inspiration with your trick performances. I am just starting to introduce Ruby to my horses – I don’t think she will be sitting on their backs any time soon but we are making progress!
Thanks! Those horses can definitely be intimidating! So big!
Just voted for you, Ammo Boy!
I am thinking of tricks you could add!
Not sure yet!
Love, Roco

Ammo, you can do so many neat tricks, you are the best!!!! wish I could come to the Spring Doxie Fest!!! But you have fun and bring home some more trophies!!!!!
You are awesome, Ammo.
Your fans are thrilled! Send more pictures of this year´s Doxie Fest!!!!
Sadly I didn’t get to attend this year’s Doxie Fest as I had a conflict. This post was from the year before – but there are lots of pictures of that on my blog: http://www.ammothedachshund.com/2014/04/16/adventures-at-the-spring-doxie-fest/
