How Much Is That Doggie In the Window?

Christy and I have been wanting a dog for some time. We tried to rescue a dog that we named Piedmont. That did not go so well. He destroyed our bathroom, tipped over our tree, chewed my favorite winter coat and destroyed the cage we bought. He was a Houdini. We could not keep him in his cage. Other than all of that he was very cute.
unfortunately I was not able to take much more of the destruction. We had to take him to the humane society.

We have been now looking a long time for a dog that would not be so hard to take care of, preferably one that was not found in the wild (I forgot to mention that we found him in South Carolina).

Christy grew up with a Dachshund, and I grew up with a Dachshund, so we figured that the logical conclusion would be to get a Dachshund. So...that is what we are planning on doing. I will tell you, there is not a lot of breeders in Michigan. I have found many in the south, but not anywhere near me.

I stumbled on a website of someone who breeds them here in Michigan. I called her and talked to her for about 45 minutes. I learned a lot about dachshund. I am planning on driving up and seeing them, and purchasing one of them.

That is the one I am planning on buying. A smooth red mini-dachshund.
