Do dogs go out of style? Seems to be true. Cocker Spaniels and Weenie Dogs?

dog foot wipe

How do you like this fancy boot wipe weenie dog?  I remember having this type dog and my mother-in-law had this kind of dog and she owned this foot wipe animal.  I believe the proper name was Dachshund but everyone called them weenie dogs.  I have not seen one in a long time.   Are they out of style? 

Here's another type that seems to have disappeared.

Cocker Spaniel dog

This type used to be found in so many homes!  Cocker Spaniel they were called.  This one sits on my fireplace but we never had a live one.  This particular one was owned by an old friend and I bought it at her estate sale.  I have not seen a real Cocker Spaniel in any home lately so I am assuming that these two dog types have gone out of style. 

What do you think?

Barbara, my old neighbor had two weenie dogs, they were so cute.    About 30 years ago had a cocker spaniel, and was just the cutest, but peed everywhere, so we couldn't keep him.

Perhaps that explains why!  I thought the cocker spaniel might be too hairy.

Hi Barbara,  I haven't seen many of the Dachshund or Cocker Spaniels lately either.  I think there are so many people adopting pets from shelters, that we are not seeing as many purebred dogs around here.

Perhaps that is the reason.  But why don't the Weenies and Cockers get to the shelter for adoption?

Hello Barbara - growing up, I remember the second dog we had, as I recall we were told she was part Dachshund mixed with some other breed.  I haven't thought about Daisy for a number of years but this post brought back many memories even though she wasn't an official Weenie dog.

I remember a neighbor of mine having one of those weiner dog boot scrappers on their porch when I was a kid.

Myrl, perhaps I need to check and see if it is valuable!

Anita said I would post a picture of magnetic scottie dogs and she who must be obeyed has had her say.

These dogs are polarized so head to head they will jump apart. head to tail they will stick together. Seems appropriate!😛

I'm sure due to social media there is an "all the rage" dog of the season and some that are forgotten. We've always loved German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, so trendy or not ...😁
