Sparky is 10 weeks old as of 5/3/2010 and is your everyday joyful little puppy.  He gets along well with kids (mine are six and 12) but I do not recommend younger children who may frighten him by pulling his tail or screaming.  He snuggles, loves play, is great with a crate (we use it only to support potty training at night).  He has been coached by our two older dogs and is just a pleasure to be around.

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
