F rom the moment I learned the title existed, I dreamed of having a home-bred Triple Champion. Way back in 2008, on the eve of Hurricane Gustav when Dachshund “Gee!” was conceived, little did I know the journey on which she would take me. I wanted a Triple Champion. Gee! said, “Hold my beer!”
Imagine, twelve years later, Gee! would break records and join the ranks of high-achieving AKC Hounds. On May 16, 2021, Gee! earned her Rally Championship in Montgomery, Alabama. In doing so, per AKC records report, it is confirmed that Gee! is: • First HOUND to achieve FIVE or more Championship Titles; • One of Seven dogs across ALL BREEDS to achieve FIVE or more Championship Titles (the other six include three Bor- der Collies, a Papillion, a Weimaraner, and a Doberman); • First Dachshund to achieve Championship Titles in FOUR different sports; • Third Hound to achieve Championship Titles in FOUR different sports (the others include a Whippet and a Rhodesian Ridgeback). CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES
