She is a timid girl at first but once she warms up to you, she is a sweet little girl that loves belly and back rubs. She does well on a regular potty schedule or puppy pads if you must be gone for short periods of time. Princess would love it if you were newly retired or if you can work from home. We think she would be fine being an only dog because she does love attention. If you think you want a dachshund that will follow you all over, then she just might be the pup for you. But our must haves the little lady are: Someone who is home more than not or newly retired A fenced in yard as she does like it outside as long as it’s not too cold and if it is then she expects you to have a sweater or coat on her She can be an only dog or with another dog maybe male, small adult dog is best No apartments, high rises, or condos Don’t miss out on the sweetie. However, you just have to have patience at first until she gets to know you. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

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.
