Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua. Meet this little lady with the big heart 💕 Ladybug is a 7-8 ish yr old Dachshund mix who is as sweet as can be once she knows you. Like a lot of thoughtful pups, she likes to take a minute to size up new people. She can be a bit shy when meeting new people and may bark or growl at first, but that's just her way of asking for a little patience. Give her a moment, and her loving personality shines through. At a recent holiday party she didn't bark at all and was a delight to all guests. With her foster parents (who absolutely adore her), she's an absolute joy : happy, wiggly, affectionate, and full of love. She wakes up with smiles and playful gallops to greet each day. She thrives on gentle attention, cozy spots, and being close to her people. Ladybug got along with a big Labrador she used to live with. She has interacted well with lots of little dogs. Cats can make her nervous, butshe does not chase them. Ladybug has not been tested with kids but, because she is so small, gentle children over 10 would be best. Once you earn Ladybug's trust, you'll have a loyal little companion who will happily soak up all the love you have to give and giving it right back tenfold. She'd do best with someone who understands that good things are worth waiting forand who's ready to be rewarded with endless affection once she settles in. If you're looking for a sweet, soulful pup to call your own, she might just be your perfect match 🐾💖 We are looking for the right fit for this sweet loving gal!

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.
