Precious & Pretty Patches are Dachshunds!
Evidence of the existence of these little dogs doesn't exist until the 16th century, when a "low crooked legged" dog was mentioned for hunting badgers. Dachshund means badger in Germany, where this little breed originated. They love to hunt and dig, are independent and good with the children in its’ own family.
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.
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.
The standard Dachshund will typically stand under 9” tall and weigh up to 32 pounds. The Miniature weighs less than 11 pounds and is under 6” tall.
We are pleased to welcome Precious & Pretty Patches to our practice!
