Dear Lute, Good luck to you. I hope that you find that beautiful little Doxie that you are looking for. I wish I could help. I love that saying at the end of your message, that they are like chips, you can't have just one. I have THREE. Three beautiful, adorable, boys. They are as differant and unique as day and night. One red, one brown/black and one black and tan. Oskar, Macs and Mr. T. The are beautiful dogs. I rescued one of mine, you might want to check with a Dachshund Rescue in you area. Good luck to you!!
