Oh man if that collar was just a little bit darker shade of red....



It'll be changed - this one is the one they put on her at Animal Foundation.
 
 



 
I was thinking more along the lines of if the collar was the same shade of red as the carpet she's on then it would look like her head was detached from her body.....

As a kid we had a Dachshund. Worst dog ever. It seemed to only focus on trashing the house and crapping everywhere. We even had a special training book titled "The Obstinate Oblong". It seems they are notorious little ****s. To bad they're so darn cute and cuddly.

This one is a rescue. 7 years old. The lady from the shelter really screwed us - but then, my wife was so stuck on adopting him that the lady's job was easy. The only thing she told us that was true was that he was crate trained.
 
As for the rest, when we brought him to the vet, they had to extract 11 teeth (the lady had told us that his teeth might need a bit of cleaning...) He barks for no reason, he marks every chance he gets. And he's basically that temperamental, needy little lap dog - the exact opposite of the dogs I typically like. It's my wife's dog, really, always in her lap... Not that he doesn't like me or doesn't want me to play with him, but he's mommy's dog.

Well as many of you know I work with dogs for a living, and I can confirm that dachshunds can be obstinate little ****'s when they want to be! Very hard to house train. Another breed I would tend to avoid is Boston Terriers - troublemakers, the lot of them!

Maybe, but I'm still considering getting a couple someday.  I REALLY miss my little buddy (now my ex-roommate's dog)...

Very cute dogs for sure...but I have observed them hundreds of times in dog parks playing with other dogs, and what I've noticed is....the little buggers...they have a tendency to steam into a crowd of dogs, cause a brouhaha and then slink off silently to watch the results of their handiwork from a distance

You know sharke, that gives them something in common with several people that post in the forums.
