Brutus is a Longhaired Dachshund!

These curious little dogs are bold and ready for adventure! They can have smooth, long or a “rough” coat, but the originals were smooth. Their colors range from the well known red through brindle. It’s small size makes it ideal for apartment life, but it loves a chance to take walks outside.

The smooth-coated variety has a short, shining coat; the long-haired is sleek and sometimes wavy; and the wire-haired should have tight, thick, hard hair with a fine undercoat.

These bold little dogs were bred to dig their way into burrows, and they still love to track and dig up "prey". However, this active little dog does best as an indoor dog with access to a yard. The Miniature Dachshund weighs less than 11 pounds and is under 6” tall.

We are pleased to welcome Brutus to our practice!
