BIO: Gunter is a retired breeder dog that came to us from NC. He is a very sweet little guy who likes to be with you at all times. He is very quiet, doesn't make a sound, unless he can't see you. He is potty trained on puppy pads and going outside. He does have an occasional accident but very rarely. He can use a doggie door with no problems.
Gunter has two foster siblings which he follows around but doesn't really play with. He will carry a squeaky toy around like a prize.
Gunter has been around his two foster siblings (Chihuahuas) and a few other dogs. He doesn't seem to mind any of them. He's also been around our cat which he has a no interest in.
He sleeps all night in his kennel and curls up and sleeps in his seat on car rides. Gunter goes to work with me every day and is as quiet as a mouse. He doesn't chew on things or get into anything.
With his fur being a blue and tan-dilute he does have some pattern baldness and will be prone to sunburn so t-shirts or manly muscle shirts should be a part of his wardrobe. In winter, Gunter will be more sensitive to cold temperatures than other dogs and would need to wear coats and sweaters. But hey, dressing your pup in cute shirts and sweaters is just one of the fun things about having a Doxie!
Our must haves for Gunter are:
- fenced in yard
- another younger to adult well-socialized dog for Gunter to hang with. NO big dogs he's never been around them
- someone with breeder dog experience is a plus
- no apartment, high rises or condos, please
Gunter is a very well-behaved dog and would be perfect for someone who wants a constant companion.
============= Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============
AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten.
If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal.
There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered.
We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.
To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
