She is a breeder release girl continuing her journey to learn to live life as a house pet. She has finally settled in just lately, wanting to run up on the couch to give me kisses and sit on my lap for a bit. This came about after 6 months at our home. She loves having freedom in my fenced yard, loves being in the house and sitting next to me on the couch or snuggling with some of the other foster dogs. She's not yet keen on being held by other people but is doing better when we are at Meet and Greet events. She is not a fan of children, my grandkids come over often, they have been helping me with the rescue pups from the time they could walk, she barks and barks and barks at them. They can pet her if they are sitting next to me on the couch but once I put her down she runs and barks until I have to kennel her where she can't see them. This journey to become a house pet is a lot! I put a harness on her when she goes to events , but she is not open to a leash yet. She fights a leash A fenced yard is a must for me. She had to have most all of mher teeth pulled as they were very rotten :( I She does well with her kibble mixed with some canned food and a bit of warm water mixed in the make an oatmeal consistency gravy. Gigi is 3 1/2 yrs old , she weighs almost 12 pounds, her adoption fee is $400 plus sales tax $18=$418 More about Gigi Good with small dogs, Is Not Good with Kids Hi! I'm Gigi.

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.
