Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). I am a sweet 7-year-old girl who only weighs 11 pounds and likes to sit on laps and go for walks. I am working on learning the doggie door and letting my new foster family know when I need to go outside. I get a little scared at times and do not like people in my face unless I ask for attention. I would be better in a home without children, they can be too much for me. I sleep all night in my crate but would love to sleep with you as well. I have foster siblings that are big and also a few that are little like me and I am fine with everyone. I have not started to play with a lot of toys, but I do like to sit in your lap and play one on one. I do have some white coloring on my face and feet that makes me look a bit more mature, but that’s just the way I was made. I also a have a little on my back and ears!!! If you are looking for a great companion, I am ready to meet you. Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas. Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX

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.
