Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Spike is a 4.5 year old 12 pound boy. Spike is a tad timid at first and needs a bit of space and time to feel comfortable. He’s a wonderful boy that wants to be loved and snuggled, his life before DRSF makes him not immediately trusting, but once he does He has good potty skills and wants nothing more than to be near his people. He greets new people well, at this time, he does scoot away if they try to pet him. He’s good with other dogs, but we think he’d do better as an only dog. He will have things to say if another dog gets near his food or his toys. He won’t hurt anyone, but does warn other dogs if they come near his things. Spike is a special boy who needs the right family to help him be the best Spike he can be. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form. My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records). For more information refer to the DRSF Adoption Fee page.

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.
