Our former Miniature Dachsund passed away last April. Maggie was 18 years and 5 months old. I wasn"t sure if we were going to get another dog our not. Around July I started looking at dogs. I really wanted a big dog but since we still travel I decided to go with a small dog again. I didn"t tell Susan untill right before I finally found what I was looking for. I was shocked at the prices of dogs. I finally found someone who wasnt a breeder but had puppies for sale that I was interested in. We drove up to Colmesneil to look at him and check out his parents. We had seen pictures and were pretty sure we wanted the puppy. It was a done deal after meeting him. We headed home with him and he mostly stayed in Susans lap, I brought him a chew toy and rawhide strips to keep him occupied. They had named him Peetie but we renamed him Cooper about half way home. He was born on 9/14/22. I loved his coloring because it is a little unusual. His parents were about 14-15 lbs so I expect him to be close to that. He has lots of energy but likes to stay and nap beside someone. Cooper is not fully housebroke and I suspect it will take a little time as dachsunds are notoriously hard headed.
