Don’t be surprised one day if you happen to see two Dachshunds playing pickleball around town! That’s because their PAW-RENT is Jennifer Taylor, the Pickleball Head Professional at USTA! The net would definitely have to be adjusted, but with Jennifer’s coaching, there’s no telling how far they could go to be professionals.

Clay is Jennifer’s first dachshund and was named after the European red clay courts. That is so appropriate since Jennifer played college tennis.

Tilly is a newcomer to the Taylor family. It will take time for the 13-year old Clay to warm up to the 17-week-old Tilly, but there’s nothing like a younger, more energetic new baby in the house to shake things up a bit. These dachshunds, however, love to cuddle together when they sleep, which is a great start. I am sure Clay continues to wonder when Tilly will be departing. Sorry, Clay, she’s here for the long haul. Wait, did I say, “Long”?
