#1 You're supposed to protect people and cannot defend yourself from a "Weiner Dog"?

Shame.

#2 Jim, it was the Royal Wiener dog. If the guard had hurt the dog his other wiener would have been in a vise.

#3 Dachshunds were bred to go after badgers. I would not want to be bitten by one.

#4 .. "paradox that a royal guard is bitten by a dog belonging to those he is employed to protect."

Sorta describes our MSM and Hollyweird when it comes to our military doesn't it./rhetorical question

#5 I don't relish the idea, but the weiner dog will have to be mustard out. The royal family will just have to play ketchup on this one.

#8 Don't be fooled by what you think you know about Dachshunds. They are a blend of between four and six other breeds, and have tremendous variation between them, even in the same litter.

I would hazard to guess that the Queen's husband's Dachshunds are probably old school badger hounds, and can probably hold their own with much larger dogs in a fight. Unlike the typical dog throat attack, they will try to disembowel the other animal.

#9 Do royal dogs have tasters?

I don't suppose the dog in question had a house dog bite the guard to see if it was safe to proceed?

Just my Sunday morning pre Starbucks absurdity again.

#10 Point is he could have at least kicked the dog, not really harming it, but stopping the attack.

Royal guards I've seen wear cavalry boots.
