Robinh,
Thanks for your insight! All this dachshund stuff is new to me!
My dog, Peti's temperment is pretty good! He can get real rough when we play and my husband likes to get him really worked up, but I don't like it too much because then he doesn't know when to quit, just like kids! He is just 5months now and becoming very watchful. He loves the outdoors and has already dug up a ground mole and brought it to us! That was a surprise!
Thanks for writing back! We seem to be only a few of the dachshund/yorkie owners on this site. But, I love all types of dogs and cats!!!
