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.

6 So far the jokes don't really have much legs.

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.
