He is shy around new people and barks at them. He is still learning to be a family pet. Goose is very curious about toys. He is exploring them and loves to chew. After all he is a puppy. Dislikes: Not really a fan of being in the kennel but is getting good praise and is learning it is not so scary. He does not want his person to leave him. We are working on small periods of time away from his foster mom and tons of praise. Temperament: He loves to snuggle and chew on toys. He has a ton of energy and will play hard and then nap just as hard. Do I get along with cats? Unknown High prey drive? He seems to want to chase the bunnies and the neighbor cat in the yard so a fence is truly a must. Do I get along with kids? Still very shy with people but has not shown any aggressiveness. Age recommendation of children: unknown. I think since he is a puppy he could be taught how to interact with kids without an issue. Do I get along with dogs (large and small)? Yes Would I do best if I had a social dog in the home to help me learn to "dog"? Yes Goose very much loves to play with other dogs. He would thrive with another dog in his home. Kennel trained: Work in progress. He is learning but he has not been with his foster mom for long. He should be kenneled when he cannot be supervised. He does have the ability to run around the house when he can be watched. Since he is a puppy he chews on everything. Goose is doing well with house training but will poop if not taken out after eating and when really nervous. He does very well. He doesn't really understand the concept yet, but he does love to walk with his person so the leash is not a big deal. He loves to chase squirrels and rabbits, so he does require a fence. Goose is 8 months old, he is a standard dachshund currently weighs 17 pounds, his adoption fee is $600 plus sales tax $27=$627 My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.

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.
