Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund. Frank is bonded to his long hair black doxie girlfriend Harley, it's a "adopt one, get one free adoption fee " 11lb 14 yr old Frankie loves to hang out with his peeps on the sofa and he enjoys sun bathing in a sunny window. Like many doxies his age, he doesn't have many teeth, a bit of arthritis here and there, and cataracts but that doesn't affect his happiness level. He's a sanguine guy. He is for the most part is potty trained, tho he has occasionally had an accident if left a long time. He isn’t much of a barker, he's a peaceful lad but if someone knocks on the door he will bark at first to let you know someone is there. He is friendly to most dogs esp those he knows, but can get upset by big dogs so we are suggesting a no big dog home. His first reaction to unfamiliar humans coming into his home is to back off at first but once you get to know him he is affectionate and eager to hang out with you. We were told that Frankie is a doxie mix, but he looks very doxie to us.

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.
