That is where you come in, you need to have the patience to show her what a great life she could have. It would be helpful if you had another small, adult, well-socialized dog that she could learn from. Poppy does enjoy her food and is learning about treats. But please, not too many, we want her to keep her girlish figure. Your job, should you decide to take it, is to teach her leash training and with patience potty training. Poppy is smart and food motivated so training should be an easy process if you are consistent. This little girl will require some work on your part but oh the benefits are well worth it. Cuddle time and doggie kisses. Our must have for sweet Poppy are: Fenced yard Someone home more than not or another socialized dog to keep her company but you must be home enough to help her with housetraining Sadly, no apartments, high rises or condos as Dachshunds like to bark at things that go bump in the night Because she is so cute she will not last long. Get your application in ASAP. We do help with transporting. ============== 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.

They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. We cannot 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.

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.
