This Teenager Got A Perfect Shot Of His 16 Dachshunds After A Friend Told Him It’s Impawsible
If you’ve ever wondered whether somewhere in the vastness of the Internet, there’s a perfect shot of 16 sausage-like good boys – we have some good news for you. We all love dachshunds as it is – and in all honesty, who wouldn’t – but this cute photo just made our hearts skip a beat. In it, you can see 16 (yes, you read that right) sausage doggies, perfectly lined up in pairs, posing as if they’re in Vogue and their rent’s due tomorrow.

This teenager managed to get all of his 16 dachshunds posing neatly lined up in pairs

The photo shows eight duos of adorable weiner dogs, who are sitting on steps in all of their gracious glory, staring dreamily right into the camera. The names of the family pets are Saffie, Daisy, Dudley, Wallie, Diamond, Ruby, Benjie, Buster, Bonnie, Ziggy, Sammy, Kizzy, Kiki, Zac, Duke, and Lottie. The duos were placed on the steps by their owner and told to ‘stay’.
He did it to prove his friend wrong, who said that it is impossible to capture such a shot

Liam, the owner of the adorable dogs told the media: “My friend Catherine challenged me to try to get all of my lot sit on the stairs for a photo. She said, “I bet you can’t pull it off,” so I thought “challenge accepted”. She also promised me a box of chocolates if I managed it. She set me that task on Friday morning and 10 minutes later, I had the dog photo. It took me eight minutes in total. I timed myself.”
Liam used a tennis ball to have the doggies’ attention focused on the camera

The dog owner also posted the now-viral picture of his pets online and got many surprised reactions from people. One commented: “Wow, what a brilliant picture! How on earth did you manage it?” to which Liam replied that “just a squeaky ball works wonders.”
The owner of the dogs was very excited to only have received positive reactions from people

“It’s amazing the number of positive reactions I’ve had because sometimes people are judge-y about the number of dogs I have. But I haven’t had any negative reactions to the picture at all and I’m amazed by how many people love it. It is really lovely to see,” the 19-year-old told the media.
Liam is an animal management graduate who lives in Cardiff, Wales

The 19-year-old lives with his parents, 16 dachshunds, and a black Labrador named Jess. The oldest dachshund of the family is Sammy who is 8-years-old and was the first wiener-dog of the animal-loving family.
After Liam’s family got their first dachshund Sammy, the love for the breed grew

Later on, came the addition of Kizzy so Sammy would have a friend. After some time passed, the family also welcomed Bonnie and Ziggy – who are both 7-years-old now.
Soon enough, the Beach family started breeding sausage dogs

Liam told the media that their family always makes sure that each and every dog of theirs find the best home, but every ‘goodbye’ still hurts.
“Sometimes people are judge-y about the amount of dogs I have”

Well, luckily, people on Bored Panda are surely not the kind of people who would be judgemental about responsible dog breeders. As the popular and widely overused saying goes – “the more the merrier.”
“It’s very entertaining living with all of them”

We sure can imagine the joy that 16 dachshunds and a Labrador can bring! Hopefully, this wasn’t the last time that Liam captured his lovely pooches because shots like this surely give us hope to live.

Share on FacebookI neither upvoted or downvoted on this one. I love doxies, except for the breeding part.
If nobody bred them, the breed would die out. There is nothing wrong with responsible, properly regulated breeding. Having said that, adopting is good.
Load More Replies...I have nothing against people having a lot of animals - I would have over 16 dogs if I could - but I do think it is wrong to breed them. There are enough dogs in the world and in shelters that we don't need to breed more of them. These new puppies are taking homes from dogs that need them and as a result, the shelter dogs are often killed. ADOPT, DON't SHOP (or breed).
We shouldnt breed anymore humans... same goes, adopt dont reproduce. We are also the worst species lol
Load More Replies...I have one and he won’t let me take a decent pic of him! Good job!
It's amazing what the humble tennis ball can achieve...my dogs are way too hyper to sit down together
I have to admit, I'm a fan of the rough-coated doxies that are more common in Europe than the UK and the US. They're scruffy little darlings.
They look like schnauzers! I'm a fan of long haired minis. Minis of any type really because they are less likely to have back problems.
Load More Replies...There is a difference between breeders and BYB (backyard breeders.) REAL breeders are the ones keeping breeds around, bettering the breed ect. They do health tests, genetic tests and so on before breeding. If breeders stopped and we only had mutts breeds would die out = dogs would go extinct.
How could he get negative reviews? These darlings are WINNERS! Great job on his patience on them.
Congratulations Liam, you have done well, it takes,patience, love, respect,and a special talent to achieve what you have, your pups photo on the stairs is excellent, I also love the breed, however, I understand that people are concerned about the shelter dogs, my cats and dogs through life all adopted, but people fall in love with a breed and want one !!!
As Eunice has said, with no breeding a particular breed would die out. Translated onto a broader scale, if all dogs were spayed/neutered and adopted out the only dogs breeding would be strays. Eventually, a feral dog would develop and with no other dogs breeding, all you'd have left would be feral dogs. Unless, of course, those were rounded up and destroyed. No more doggoes. Who wants a world with no more dogs?
Why can't we all sit back and enjoy the photo ? I had 2 long haired daisies and they were a joy to have. Sasha and Hansi would be proud of them !

WTH BP? This was supposed to be a reply to Aunt Messy ...

(Although you probably wouldN#t have 16 if you were breeding Bernese mountain dogs :-) And they seem cherful and live indoors with the family - so mcuh better than so many other breeders.
That was an amazing photo and your dogs are adorable. There is nothing wrong about having so many dogs, just as long as you can give them all the love and care they need and deserve. You are obviously doing everything right because they look so happy and healthy. Your dogs are lucky to have you. Goodluck with more wonderful photos like these.
STOP breeding, the shelters are full!! Rescue!!! Spay and neuter, THIS is being irresponsible!
As long as you breed for the upkeep and the love of the breed, and not the money,it's cool.
I love it. That speaks to his skills as a animal handling skills. And they are adorable.
Liam , they’re beautiful . Are they all from the same mumma / daddy ?
Why has no one mentioned how the poor puppies have to share a bed?? They look completely uncomfortable! I know my dachshund likes to have as much room as possible to stretch out... right up against me for maximum heat retention!! Oh that’s right, she thinks we should always be touching. But still, maybe with a bigger bed, all 16 could snuggle together!!
" animal management graduate" I neeeeeed this course. Where? Any in Australia? I need it just for fun, it really appeals to me. ( And there is not much that gets through the depression screen to excite me. )
A quick Google search came up with heaps! I searched "animal management course Australia". Best of luck beating that depression with puppies! :D
