The Dachshund

***I am sad to announce that Gigi has passed away on 5/3/2018.  She passed away peacefully on my laps with her family by her side.  She has lived an amazing life.  She is loved and will be missed.***

The shop and blog will not be renamed.  But now we have a black and tan mini dachshund. :)

Meet THE red dachshund!

The inspiration behind our brand is my red dachshund.  Meet our mascot--Gigi Sushi Chan NA NAJ CGC TBAD.  Everything your purchased from us goes to Gigi's care.

Gigi is a mini shaded red smoothie pure bred dachshund.  She was born 10/15/2003 (a Libra and a Sheep).  She became part of the family on 12/14/2003.  This little wrinkly baby is one of the best things in my life.  She brings so much joy and liveliness everyday.

Dogs (or animals in general too??!!) are so amazing, they have no resistance in their life.  They are pure in their intent and honest with their feeling and emotion.  Not to mention they are loyal, loving and adorable. :) 

Gigi has earned several novice agility titles and Canine Good Citizen title.  We have also been doing rally obedience as well.  She has been unofficially semi-retired as of January, 2014.  And fully retired as of 2016.

Baby Gigi. First time meeting her and it was love at first sight.

Young Gigi

#fbf This was from 11.25.2007 NADAC agility trial at Argus Ranch. Gigi was the only dachshund there. She did 2 runs. No Q, but got first and third. It still amazed me how much this little dog LOVES doing agility. The true moment I knew she truly loves it was when we did an outdoor trial probably after this trial. It was a POURING day. I was soaked from head to toe. And I thought Gigi probably will not make the run. This girl HATES rain and snow. And she is stubborn. If she decided not to do something it is very difficult to change her mind. But to my surprise, she ran with me wholeheartedly in the pouring rain ❤️. That's when I KNEW she really loves agility. And she got first place with a Q 🥇. I am so proud of her and so proud of us with what we have accomplished together ❤️❤️❤️. ▪️ #gigithedachshund #陳笑姿#GigiSushiChan #dachshund #doxie #wiener #sausagedog #hotdog #longdog #臘腸狗 #weena #seniordachshundrocks #seniorwienersrock

Also meet our honorable mascot: Chilli
She is a Shih Tzu. The first dog that I actually remember in our family. I was already in the US when she joined our family. She is also the inspiration of my having Gigi. Here are some of my favorite pictures of the Queen (some when she was young, some recent).
{Update:  Miss Chilli went to heaven on 11.26.12.  We are all very sad, but knew she is in a better place now.}
