    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Brutus, the 'Ugly Dachshund', also appeared in another Walt Disney film, six years earlier as one of the two guardian Great Danes, Duke from Swiss Family Robinson (1960).
    • Goofs
      Just over 43 minutes into the movie, when the dachshunds climb up on the bed with Fran, it is clear that one of the puppies is a male. Early in the movie, all of the dachshund puppies are said to be female.
    • Quotes
      • Fran Garrison: Mark it's hard enough to cater a party for 60 people without that four legged demolition squad running in the middle of it.
      • Mark Garrison: Demolition squad? Well what about that, that wrecking crew of yours, huh?
