Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX Lady Sage is a 5 year old, 14 pound female dachshund. She came to our rescue due to no fault of her own. Her owner loved her but her health was declining, she was being evicted and she couldn't keep her. She is very nervous right now and will need some time to learn to trust other humans. She is making progress. Here is what we have learned so far. Loves walks and car rides. House training is progressing She loves to chase toys and will do "tug" at times. She is crate trained Now that she knows me, she responds to being verbally corrected. No real issues with my dogs as she initially ignored them until now. She loves to join in barking competitions, either with my dogs or the neighbor's dogs. Summary: she REALLY wants a human all the time. Secondarily she wants a low chair that she can burrow into. She has done well with both men and women. Probably not suited for small children. She has taken well to a yard. She will bark at other dogs, the doorbell, and other sounds and her bark is impressive for such a little dog. She does well on the leash and only tugs a little. She has had limited contact with cats and seems to wonder why the dogs in her foster home want to bark at them and chase them. She needs an experienced owner who will not give her human food or give in to her growls or moans as she is quite an actress. Lady Sage has been working on a lot of things and is doing great. She will still need some work but she is wanting to be loved. Love dachshunds and not ready to adopt or circumstances won't permit having a dog? How about being a sponsor or making a donation.

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.
