Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). #6 of 9 - Country Music Stars My name is Rascal Flatts named after the famous country singer. I came to DDRTX from a hoarding situation with a group called "The Country Music Stars". Rascal is guessed to be 3 years old and 19 pounds. Through it all, although shy Rascal is as sweet as can be. He is still a little skittish and hesitant around strangers, so not quite a lap dog just yet but he’s curious and slowly trusting his foster mom, who he is starting to follow around. Rascal is a black and tan dapple, about 19 lbs now, and has the sweetest face you’ll ever see. He is calm and well behaved, he doesn’t pull on the leash and so far he hasn’t even had a potty accident indoors. He seems interested in and friendly with other dogs. He’s done well in the car even though he gets a little nervous in new situations, and he’s been doing good in the crate as well, where he sleeps all night. Foster mom can see Rascal’s great potential; he’s attentive and smart, and we can’t wait to see his full personality Despite his rough start in life, Rascal remains a gentle soul. He was found covered in fleas, tested positive for various parasites including heartworms, and was diagnosed with demodectic mange. He has been treated successfully.

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.
