PLEASE READ PROPERLY!!!! Price is to be spoken about - depends if they go together or alone.
This is an extremely difficult post to be writing. So please, only enquire if you’re serious and can provide my dogs with the best home with patience and love. I will NOT just let them go to anyone. **please also be aware, owning any type of dachshund, you need to expect a level of barking - they will bark at their own farts!!
BOTH DOGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN A BUSY HOUSEHOLD WITH 6 CHILDREN - I cannot fault these two enough for their loving nature around us and the children (and the neighbours and their kids tbh!!)
Dollie - a 1 year old female silver dapple miniature dachshund. Fully vaccinated, microchipped and up to date with all flea and worming. Is NOT yet spayed. Most recent vet check was last month. Crate trained since we first got her. We got Dollie when she was just 4 weeks old. She is an extremely loving little girl however is EXTREMELY timid and anxious. She needs a home that has patience and will be the only dog. She needs to be in a home that someone is home and not being left 9-5 etc - we believe Dollie’s behaviours are copied from Arlo. As when alone, she is a very different dog!! Walks can be a stand off if she’s feeling anxious but will walk if with a dog she’s familiar with. Again, we use private fields to avoid bumping into other dogs and causing distress.
Arlo - 2 year old male Chocolate dapple miniature dachshund. Fully vaccinated, flea and worm up to date. Crate trained since 8 weeks old. Our vets refused to neuter Arlo due to being extremely reactive (anxious reactive, not vicious!!) they advised us doing so would make him worse. He either needs to be rehomed with Dollie or in a home on his own. Arlo needs walking in QUIET empty places. We personally hire the private fields to avoid any upset and distress for him. When apart from Dollie, he is a very different dog !
The reason for rehoming is due to after several attempts to work with trainers, vets etc both dogs anxiety is too much for me to handle. Between the children, work commitments, children’s ill health (complex disabled child) I feel as though I can no longer meet Dollie and arlos needs. This is extremely difficult for me to even say because i absolutely love my dogs with all my heart but I just want them to be able to live happy lives and I feel that I am unable to completely give them what they need.
Both dogs anxiety means when people come in our home - they will bark, however, once the person/people have stood still and Arlo has had a good sniff, he will roll for fuss.
I do feel that Dollie and Arlo set each others anxiety off in which they both then become heightened. We have 2 cats in the house which neither are bothered by - they also are friends with our neighbours Rottweiler and cats, and my sisters Pom and dachshund and cats. I will only allow the best homes for them. They will not just go to the first person to inbox or show interest. I do NOT want them used for breeding as I’m aware their markings for dachshunds isn’t common.
These two need ALOT of training, reassurance and patience.
I will be asking for a fee but this is to assure a good home.
£400 each or £750 together.
