🧢 The Rodeo Star Dog 🐎
In the early 1900s, Australian Shepherds became famous rodeo performers. These dogs traveled with western trick riders and cowboys, dazzling crowds with their intelligence, agility, and tricks. Some were even seen wearing tiny cowboy hats while performing! 🤠

🐾 Fun & Fascinating Facts About Dachshunds🐶

🧬1. They’re a Genetic Engineering Marvel
Dachshunds were selectively bred for short legs and long bodies—a condition called chondrodysplasia, which allowed them to dig and maneuver through tunnels in pursuit of badgers, rabbits, and other burrowing prey. That unique look? 100% functional.

🎯2. Their Name Literally Means “Badger Dog”The word “dachshund” comes from German: Dachs = badger. Hund = dog.

So yes, your wiener dog is actually a savage underground predator with a cute face.

😎 3. They Have Zero Chill (And That’s Why We Love Them)
Dachshunds are bold, brave, and bossy. Many owners describe them as having a “big dog” attitude trapped in a little sausage casing. They’re natural watchdogs and will bark at leaves, ghosts, or your Amazon driver with equal intensity.

Meet Ned! 🐶💕

Ned is a three-year-old Pyrenees-Doodle mix weighing in at 78 pounds of pure fluff and energy.
He may be full grown, but don’t tell him that—Ned still thinks he’s a puppy! He loves to run, play with other dogs, and makes friends wherever he goes. He’s also cat-friendly and does well around kids, though we recommend a home with older children or an active household ready to keep up with his high energy lifestyle.
Ned’s got curls for days and the warmest brown eyes. He’s as sweet as he is handsome and already knows how to sit on command.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit, come meet Ned during our open hours! Don’t forget to bring your current dogs along for the required meet-and-greet.

✨ Joyful Dog always has something special going on — and this week was no exception!

🐾 We’re honored to be helping the very first blind therapy dog team in Hickman County Schools reach their goals. This incredible dog is learning a specialized recall sound to find her handler, showing everyone that challenges don’t define our path — we all have beautiful purposes. 💛

🐶 We also welcomed River, a sweet puppy in training who will grow into a diabetic alert dog from Cane Creek Labradors. He’s already stealing hearts while preparing for his important future role.

At Joyful Dog, we love what we do — helping dogs shine, supporting their people, and celebrating the joy they bring into our lives every single day. 🌟
