Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Norm is a classic short haired black and tan mini dachshund. He weighs 10 pounds, is crate trained but not potty trained. Norm likes to play with his foster feline and other small dogs. He is only a year old so he is much a pup himself. The home he came from didnt spend much time training him and taking him out. He will use puppy pads but is learning how to go outside to do his business. Norm is a bit shy and barky as he has not had proper socializing. He is sweet to those he knows just a bit leary of new people.Please visit our website for more info on our adoption process and adoption application .barkdogfarm Please be sure all family members are in agreement to adopting and your family is ready to bring dog home now.

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.
