Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Riff Raff is a striking black & tan piebald dachshund puppy, born 5/26/26. He was born in a commercial kennel, but was surrendered to rescue because he has an arched back instead of a straight, level back. The breeder thinks he was stepped on by his mother when he was a tiny baby. He has been checked by 2 vets (the breeder's and mine) and both said he was fine, just odd looking. He is a super friendly puppy who loves tummy rubs. He is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations and wormings. He has a small navel hernia, which can be repaired when he is neutered. He weighed 4 pounds 11 ounces on 7/30/26. Because he is too young to neuter, he will be placed with a neuter contract. When proof of surgery is received, adopter will be mailed a rebate check for $50.00 His adoption fee is $450.00 If you would like to adopt Riff Raff, email me at thistle88centurytel and request an application.

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.
