Lucy is a Miniature Dachshund!
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.
Although originally bred to dig rodents from underground, the Dachshund has finally found its true niche - as a family pet! Its high energy will be well spent romping with the children in its own family. The exercise requirements of this little dog can be met with walks on leash, thus making it ideal for apartment life.
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 Lucy to our practice!
