The the claims about the size of the even larger shark that swam off with the gaff in its gills probably are exaggerated.
I’m kind of surprised that after all of that work reeling in the monster, they simply found some place to bury it.
And of course, it raised such a funk that it had to be exhumed.
OT: Hey Mr. Retrieverman: is this normal?: http://www.dailypuppy.com/puppies/Annie-the-Dachshund_2009-12-03
I’ve never seen a white doxie.
It’s one color that is considered faulty as per the dachshund standard. I’ve seen an old photo of a white dachshund, but I had no idea they still existed.
Another faulty color is piebald: http://www.weatherlysdachshunds.com/genes.html
I think this dog is more likely to have come from a sport in a piebald litter.
Here’s another white (it looks like a long-hair): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3664/3582489280_21f05d108f.jpg

And from dapple to dapple breedings, you can get very white dogs (which are occasionally quite defective): http://www.countrygardendoxie.com/color_pics_doubledapple.htm
Thanks! She is very pretty, though. Ignorant question: do all not-usually white dogs have propensity to be deaf?
White e/e’s, like white shepherds, samoyeds, and poodles, aren’t often deaf.
Masking whites (like bull terriers and boxers) can be deaf, as can similar dogs with the piebald gene.
The so-called lethal whites from double merle and double dapple breeding can be deaf, too.
