Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). #9 of 9 - Country Music Stars My name is Brooks Dunn named after the famous country singer. I came to DDRTX from a hoarding situation with a group called "The Country Music Stars". Brooks has come out of his shell and loves to be pet. He hasn't quite got the hang of being in your lap but he does like to be right beside you. Wherever you go, Brooks goes. At meal times he has the philosophy of what's mine is mine and what's your is mine. The rest of his foster crew do not agree with Brooks therefore, he eats in his crate by himself until he learns some manners. He is a smart boy. He taught himself that he has to potty outside and got the hang of walking on a leash easily. He didn't know what a treat was and at first wouldn't take one directly from the hand but if it's placed in front of him, he will happily eat it. He is still a bit timid about meeting new people but with a little patience he will warm up to you. It takes him a bit longer to warm up to men. He's still not sure of them. He is still nervous with kids, so probably a home without them would be bets. We are not sure of cats as his foster home doesn't have any. He gets along great with the dogs in his foster home. Brooks would do best in a quieter home without a lot of activity. He needs another dog buddy in the home to help him learn more about living in a home and that he can trust people. He was living with 30 plus dogs before he came to our rescue., so dogs are what makes him comfortable. He is coming along, just still gets scared of his own shadow at times. He just needs someone that will give him lots of love and patience. Brooks was treated for mange and his hair is coming back slowly, It will take a little time for it all to come back. He has had all the vet work done, is neutered and has had a dental too. Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas.

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.
