The Dachshund is a dynamic and affectionate breed. They are bold, proud and can be quite tenacious at times. They enjoy the outdoors and love to dig. They like to bark and are mischievous little dogs. Dachshunds are an extremely devoted breed and make wonderful family pets.
I’ve never really been a pet person until I surprised my husband with a weenie pup for his 26th birthday. He used to tell me how much he wanted a weenie dog but was never “allowed” to have one. So while he was away at the beach the summer before we got married, I searched Petfinder with a mission. I had to find the perfect weenie dog fit for my soon to be hubby. That’s when I saw him. It was the fluffy, curly ears that got me. How could I say no to those big, black eyes staring back at me through the computer screen? So I filled out the adoption questionnaire right then. I anxiously awaited the answer to my email, would we be fit parents for this sweet little baby?
Well, that sweet, lil, curly earred pup won me over. I almost didn’t want to hand him over to Eric when he came home from the beach a couple of weeks later. It must have been the way he would roll over on his back to hint that he wanted his belly rubbed. Or maybe it was the puppy breath…
