Look at me! I am an ACA registered Mini Dachshund puppy! My Mom is Amigo and my Dad is Skipper. I was born on July 28th and I will be ready for my forever home on September 23rd! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian and microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Janice Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Mini Dachshund
Dachshunds are an easily recognizable dog that has a fun-loving personality and confident stance. These expressive dogs easily capture the hearts of those around them, and are loyal to a fault, often bonding closely with one family member. They love to be a part of everything going on, and will often think that they know best, which means they need focused training from an early age. Dachshunds are mischievous dogs that were originally bred for hunting and can exhibit some traits that reflect that, as well as show destructive behavior when their energy is not properly directed. Because of their size they adapt well to apartment living, but need to be exercised regularly both mentally and physically. Despite their small size, Dachshunds tend to have unusually loud and deep barks, and like to use their voice to communicate. They are little packages with lots of energy and will love to play games with their owners. Although they typically love to be outside to play, they should not be kept outdoors and are much better suited as house pets. If motivated, they can learn quickly, but get bored easily if not properly entertained.
Dachshunds are classified as either standard or miniature, with standard usually weighing between 16 and 32 pounds, and mini weighing between under 11 pounds; anything between 11 and 16 pounds is referred to as a tweenie.
