I’m so happy to share, for the second time, the Hartmann family! They have been on the blog before, about three years ago. Sadly, the sweet corgis they had at that time have passed on, and they have now added two sweet new pups to their pack. You can take a look at that session here: The Hartmann Family.
We took these photos at Shelby and Thomas’ beautiful home in Franklin. Introducing a one-and-a-half-year-old Welsh corgi named Eddy Merckx, and a five-year-old dachshund named Asher.
When I asked the couple about their dogs’ names, they told me Asher already had his name, but they loved it! Eddy Merckx is named after cyclist, a world champion one, at that!
Asher loves his treats and really all food but dislikes having squirrels in his yard. Eddy Merckx loves his (and Asher’s!) toys, but he hates baths.
Shelby and Thomas love that both Asher and Eddy are so loyal to them AND to each other. “It is the sweetest.”
While Eddy M is not a rescue dog, Asher is. He came from TN Dachshund Rescue (TDR). Which the Hartmann’s “HIGHLY RECOMMEND” with a “shout out to Sheraine and Jamie!”
I also wanted to know what it was about these dog breeds this couple loved. They said:
“Asher is our first doxie, and we will definitely go back to TDR. They did a great job of pairing us with a dog that fit our needs after our sweet Norman passed away. Doxies are fierce little hunters but very loyal and kind. We are smitten! Eddy Merckx is our 3rd corgi - we love their herding nature and how they like to ‘keep all of us together’.”
I hope you enjoy these great photos of this couple and their cute dogs!
