Hi! I'm Jessica & I have a standard dachshund named Lucky. She is red & short haired & she weighs about 12 pounds. She turned 2 years old on 9/20. My husband & I got her for our son for his 6th birthday. He wanted a dog since he was four, but my husband & I didn't want a dog. We finally started talking about it and told my son to look at some pictures of small breed dogs & obviously he fell in love with dachshund puppy pictures, so we helped him to learn more about the breed & started looking for a puppy for him. We also made him complete tasks to show he was ready for the responsibility & commitment of being a dog owner before he could get his puppy. When he completed a task he could get an item off of the list of things he needed before he got his puppy. He needed dishes, a leash, a collar, a crate, food, treats, training pads etc. It took him about 9 months to get all of the items he needed, & my husband & I talked to several breeders while our son worked on getting his supplies for his new puppy. We found the breeder that we got our Lucky from & she was going to be ready to go the same weekend as his 6th birthday, so we surprised him at his birthday party with his puppy! It couldn't have worked out any better because Lucky is truly the perfect dog for our family!
Also, my husband & I both had dachshunds when we were kids, so we both were happy that our son liked dachshunds best!
