Savvy Dachshunds Clothing Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I was introduced to the Savvy Dachshund Boutique and their fun line of custom made clothing to fit the unique shapes of the hard-to-fit Dachshund shape. Now if you are owned by a Dachshund, then you probably know it can be such a pain to find outfits to fit our long bodies and big chests.

Well at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique you can order custom handmade clothing in your own dog’s size and a variety of fun styles.

This cute little wool tweed jacket I received was super stylish, and even though it’s probably not the ideal jacket for on the farm (since the hay and horse hair would stick to this in seconds), I couldn’t help but take it for a spin in the snow. Mostly because I look darn good in the snow with a tweed jacket on!

This coat would be fantastic to strut your stuff on your evening walk (and would be sure to make all the other pup’s jealous!).

And really, fireside lounging never looked so good when you’ve got on a tweed jacket!

The prices for jackets at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique range from $20 – $38, so you can be sure to get something special for your dog at a great price. They also come with a handy hole in the back to snap onto a harness or collar to make walking extra easy!

I also took this Navy Plaid Jacket for a spin. The inside is lined with soft fleece with velcro closures on the chest and belly and it even had functional pockets on both sides! I can’t decide if I want to stuff them with cookies or bully sticks – it’s a tough call.

This jacket even has a cute little matching snood. For $12 these fleece Snoods can be made to match any jacket you order and is a great addition to keep your little pup’s neck warm.

Spring Bark and Where I’m Headed Next

Posted on by

I’ve got some exciting news! Recently I found out that I’m a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Blog Photo.

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

It’s enough to make me feel like a celebrity! 

What makes the Nose-to-Nose awards a little different is that this is the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of their blog. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote. So don’t worry I won’t be begging for votes (not that I’ve ever been a fan of that anyway), now begging for cookies, that’s another story!

Oh gosh, I can just feel the love!

The best part is that winners will be revealed in an exclusive red carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of May.

My Bags are Packed // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m already excitedly making some plans so I can hopefully take a week-long road trip to attend the event. Which is great news for you too, because that means when I get back from my trip I’ll have a whole SLEW of adventures to share with you! You know, like where the best trees to pee on in Tennessee are, and what kind of squirrels they have in Virginia….the important stuff.

So if you know of any great dog friendly spots that I can stop and see on my road trip in a couple of months let me know in the comments below! I can’t wait!

AND THAT’S NOT ALL….

Everyday Dog Gear

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!

Eyefi Mobi Wifi SD Card

So head on over and check it out, and if you’re wondering about something on the list, just shoot me an e-mail at info@ammothedachshund.com! With such an extensive list, it’s entirely possible I forgot to list something!

Happy Shopping!

P.S. If you have any special pet gear that you love too be sure to post it in the comments below, I love to hear what other pets and pet lovers are digging!Ammo the Dachshund

And when I hear the word canine, I can’t help but be involved! After all, I am a canine.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The vintage styled T-shirts from Fuji and Friends are the kind of shirt you just love to wear. Extra soft, with that worn-in feel. Well, or so I’m told (on account of I go naked most of the time).

But the absolute best part is all the fun (vintage style) designs they carry…..all of which feature dogs!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Because really, if you’re going to have your humans wear a t-shirt, it might as well have a dog on it! Of course I picked out this fabulous Spirit of Adventure shirt in brown heather for my mom, as I love to live everyday of my dog life as if it were the greatest adventure of them all.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Fuji and Friends shirts come tag-less (the greatest, most important feature according to my mom) and are made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester.

I must admit, their spirit of adventure t-shirt made both me and my mom want to go on our next big adventure ASAP. I’m thinking dog friendly road trip!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I only have one regret with this new t-shirt though…

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

….it doesn’t come in a doggie size! boo hoo! But perhaps they’ll add to their growing selection of designs – a dog sized one too!

So if you’re looking to update your wardrobe soon, I highly recommend you check out Fuji and Friends! You can even save 20% off your next order with code event20.

Frozen Lake

Posted on by

Lake Dogs // Summer // Ammo the Dachshund

On Valentine’s Day my mom and dad surprised me and told me that we’d be taking a trip to the lake. I couldn’t wait as it’s one of my favorite spots and I was looking forward to romping in the sand!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Only when we got to the lake and I sat on the edge of the dock and looked out over the water….things looked a little different.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Actually, it looked a lot different.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

I felt like I had been duped. I mean where was the warm water, the paddle boards, ….. where was my lake?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

But then, mom told me that we were standing on the lake.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean holy cow, there was water under there? Frozen water?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

And sure enough, with a bit of digging I uncovered my long lost lake. Who would of thought?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course being Valentine’s Day and all, mom and dad made me take a family photo. And did you know that almost 8 years ago my mom and dad got engaged on this lake (on a row boat)? Well now you do.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

As much as I enjoyed frozen lake, I did sort of wish it was summer, because frozen lake is a bit more “frozen” and I started to get a little cold as the sun set.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry though, because I brought along my secret weapon against all things cold….my mom!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, just the right amount of Valentine’s warmth from my mom! But next time, I think I’d much rather visit the lake on a warm, sunny day! Ammo the Dachshund

So how did you spend your Valentine’s Day?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

12 Days of Cheer! Merry Christmas from Ammo the Dachshund

Merry Christmas Friends!!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer with me! December has been quite the crazy whirlwind for me as mom and I have been working lots of overtime at the shop to fulfill everyone’s Christmas framing orders. So since I haven’t had a day off in about 3 weeks, I think I’m pretty much due for one. So I’m going to be taking a short little blogging break until after the new year as I spend today celebrating Christmas with my friends and family.

But incase you’ll miss my fuzzy little face (and wiggly tail), I will be posting over on my Facebook page in the meantime.

12 Days of Cheer! Merry Christmas from Ammo the Dachshund

And I’m awfully glad that Santa already delivered my presents…..because I just couldn’t help myself! But sometimes everyone deserves to be a little naughty!

Happy Holidays! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund

Hooray! My 2014 Holiday Card has made it’s way to my online shop along with all my other designs from years past.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Why don’t you sing along with me,

Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!

Happy Holidays!

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I’m sure you probably think I’m a total pro behind the camera (which yea, I sort of am), but it actually takes me quite a few tries to get that one perfect shot for my holiday card every year. And as I’m sure every super model has outtakes just like me, I thought it would be fun to share a few of mine….

And lets just say there is dozens more where that came from. So as you can see creating my spectacularly cheery holiday card each year is no easy task – it’s an art I tell you! An art that I’m still perfecting even after 6 years of “modeling”.

So if you’d like to shop my spectacular awesome holiday card you can check it out in my online shop – it comes in singles and 8 card sets for all your happy mail sending needs! Ammo the Dachshund
