He was a breeder dump because he was cryptorchid. A breeder would not want that in a breeding dog due to the chance of him not being able to impregnate a female. A Good Samaritan got him from the breeder in fear of him ending up in the wrong hands and becoming fighting dog bait. He is timid from not being socialized but he has warmed up and is doing very well. At first, Peanut was scared but has slowly come out of his shell. We have male and female fosters in our home and he gets along with them all. However, no cats or big dogs, please. He is also doing very well with his foster people (male and female). We are looking for someone who has the patience to help Peanut become the pet he was meant to be. If you do, then you will have the best boy who is so cute and loving. Our must haves for Peanut are: Fenced in yard Another small, young, well socialized dog to help him feel comfortable in your home Someone who can be home more than not No apartments, high rises, or condos Think about it. If you have the time and patience, then this is the boy for you. He will repay it 100 times over in loyalty. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

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.
