Awwwwww!! I'm a dachshund person 100%. I have 2 and my cousin has 3.
Looks like that fella has a little bit of dapple in him. My cousin has 2 dapples and one of hers has a blue eye like that.

most likely ... this woman was crazy to give him up .. i heard that doxies are tough to housebreak, but he's doing quite well so far (knock on wood) he's just stubborn and thinks that if it's raining or cold he's entitled to potty in the house. ... lol .... i can see why you love them .. they have wonderful personalities.

They are very difficult to housebreak and sometimes they never get there. I think that's why so many of them are given up. Come to think of it, it's difficult to train a dachshund to do much of anything but come to the kitchen when someone is making a sandwich. Or where I keep my tasty dog treats after baking and packaging.
I love this quirky little breed I guess because they remind me so much of myself. I'm stubborn, too.
That and you have to smile when you see a dachshund.
Doxies were bred to hunt badgers. They can get very nasty when need be. (Yeah, my mom said many times "How can someone put something so sweet in a badger hole? until she got bit) Mine also like to hunt squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, moles, etc and wonder off while on the trail of something. Never had that problem with females.

He's def. stubborn ... we're working on a sit stay right now .. lol .. yeah right .. he'll do the sit part, but he's like attached at the hip. the "breeder" separated him from his littermates far too early. poor guy ... i'm his third home in three months, but we got a really great application for him ... oh and are they prone to separation anxiety cause holy crap ... if I gate him in the kitchen and walk out of sight ... you'd swear he was being tortured ??

we didn't have any trouble with them. my husband bought those doggie pads and put them by the front door during sleeping hours but during the day, they would go outside...no problem.
i'm really falling in love with the breed and he is kicking some butt with his housebreaking .... he went all night last night ... uncrated .. no accidents ... no chewing ... i just can't believe this lady gave him up ... he's an awesome dog

doxies
I have 4 of the little babies, female dapple long hair, male b&t smooth, male dapple smooth (6 months old from last litter that my daughter would not give up) female red smooth standard. This puppy has been the most difficult to do much with. Still having trouble with house training, still chewing everytihing in sight. I think he's a little crazy, but my daughter loves him to death. I have a doggie door and he's the only one that won't go outside unless someone (not one of the others) goes with him. He can be outside playing and digging up the flower beds and then come in and pee. I will try to get pics to come up.

This is my doxie baby, Lucy. She's almost 6 months old....a dapple piebald. She is spoilied rotten...and she knows it! She's doing beautifully with her crate....hardley ever whines when I leave for work in the mornings now...and no messes. House training is.....a constant uphill battle!!! She will not go out if it's raining....or cold....or windy! She is a momma's girl all the way....I can'y go anywhere in the house with out her following me!

Awwwww!!! That was the biggest dose of cuteness EVER!
I'm amazed at the many different patterns of dachshunds there are. My cousin has dapples and people are all the time asking her, "What kind of dog is that?!"
I just want to give her a biiiiiiiig hug.

Thank you! The breeder I got her from called her coloring 'harlequin'....but my friend (the vet) said she's a cross between a single dapple and a piebald, and that there is realy no such pattern (the harlequin) in doxies (I tend to defer to the vet of 30 years for this kind of info!
) It truely amazes me that there are so many color/pattern combos out there of doxies! I love my fur baby!
