Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Fritz Derecho is a 3 year old male dachshund. He found himself lost at a local shelter and was very scared there. They reached out for help for him. Fritz needed some decompressing time. He is learning to trust. He doesn't like to be picked up or cornered, so no kids. He is housebroken and is great with a doggie door. He loves being outside but needs a very secure yard, he is a door darter. He loves and needs other dogs. They are his comfort. He doesn't like to be left alone. Once he learns to trust you, he will give you kisses and want belly rubs. He will even be in your lap. He is a good boy and since he is young, hopefully he will continue to learn to trust even more and become even more comfortable and realize what a good boy he is. Fritz will need a home that understands he wasn't treated the best in the past and therefore, is enjoying a happy home. He doesn't like to be pushed or yelled at.

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.
