Buddy is the quintessential dachshund: a big dog trapped in a small dog’s body. Buddy may have come into rescue unable to walk but he is now a fierce defender of his home and yard. He’s the first dog out the door tearing down the doggy ramp into the backyard to ensure those pesky dogs next door aren’t making trouble on the other side of Buddy’s fence. Buddy remains vigilant for taunting squirrels who dare to come into HIS yard. He attempts to shake them vermin out of the trees by barking in his big dog voice. Buddy dreams of the day when he can get his paws on a squirrel. Buddy is always on high alert so if you’re looking for a dachshund security system, Buddy’s your boy.
Buddy LOVES to take walks. His back legs have strengthened greatly and he enjoys surveying his extended domain. Buddy has plenty of energy to walk as far and as long as you are willing to take him.
Buddy is a beautiful deep red color. He’s got a face you could fall in love with at first sight. Buddy is a total cuddle bug, very sweet and loving. He likes to crash on the couch with his human(s) at the end of the day. He gets along just fine with the dogs in his own pack but his prey drive is high so cats drive him crazy. If you appreciate big dog attitude but prefer to pick up little dog poop then Buddy is the dog for you.
