Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund. Meet Professor Bentley Professor Bentley is a 1½-year-old, purebred long-haired Dachshund weighing in at a petite 6 pounds—but don’t let his size fool you, this little guy has a lot of personality! Bentley is funny, comical, and absolutely convinced he belongs in your arms at all times. If you’d let him, he’d happily be held all day long. He thrives on affection and truly wants to be the center of attention, so a home where someone is around often would be his dream come true. He gets along great with other dogs and listens well. Bentley is crate trained and doing well with house-training—he’s still polishing those skills, but he’s a smart boy and eager to please. He also rides great in the car and loves being your little sidekick. Like many small dogs, Bentley can show a bit of “little dog attitude” now and then, so an experienced dog owner would be the best fit to help him continue to grow into his best self. Because of his size and personality, he would do best in a home with older children or adults only. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who can’t get close enough to you and will keep you smiling with his antics, Professor Bentley may just be the perfect match.

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.
