The sausage dogs my aunt had couldn't tackle a large mouse, let alone
a badger.

Don't underestimate the courage of those "sausages" - which used to
be bigger than most of today's breeds.

But they weren't supposed to tackle badgers, but only to drive them
out of their burrows - hence the short legs!

Reminds me of the two old ladies discussing their dogs.

"I've got two dachshunds", says one of them, "A dog and a bitch."

"Oh!", says the other, "What happens when the bitch is on heat?"

"Simple - I put her upstairs."

"But how does THAT stop the dog getting at the bitch?"

"Even simpler - have you ever seen a dachshund trying to get upstairs
with a hard-on?"

(I'll get me coat :-))
