He has an internal clock that will guide you through your day and communicates very well if you forget what is next on your list. Dale is house trained and has never had an accident. He gets along with older children (10 years) but not sure about the little ones. He is reactive with other dogs and toys. Being an only dog would probably be best. Dale is treat motivated and very smart. He loves car rides and wants to go whenever and wherever you go. He is shy around new people but warms up after a few minute with gentle coaxing. He seems to be more attracted to men but does also love his mom. At night Dale prefers to burrow in his bed with his blanket and then comes and cuddles with you in the morning. Dale is a silly, loving cuddle bug who loves being with his people

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.
