Description
Posted Breed: Dachshund / Schnauzer. ** Update - We have not been able to find Dexter the right home for him. He will be a long term foster unless that one in a million right home comes along for him. We are looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of his medical expenses. Dexter is on a special diet and needs regular grooming appointments for his skin. To donate towards his care please visit our website Donate (abuddyforlife) Dexter is about 6 years old and 35lbs. He is very lovable to his person and very protective. He has some aggresion issues with protecting his home and people. He needs a dog experienced person who understands this and will not put him in a situation where he will continue this behavior. He needs to be an only pet in the home.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
