I have done extensive research before deciding on this breed. However, I am wondering who has had this breed, now or in the past, and their observations?
My friend recently got one; They are cute little dogs from what I've seen. Hers has been reasonably easy to train, although slow toileting but how much that is down to her/the breed I dont know. He will take as much or as little exercise as is given - she takes him on hour long runs and he seems to enjoy it! He's friendly with dogs and people, needs a daily brush to stop him matting but a good little dog Dad at one of the breeders we visited: Puppies (6 weeks I think)
My neighbour breeds these dogs, so I see her walking them daily. They certainly come across as a much bigger dog in a small dog's frame She often walks them with her Bearded Collies and they keep up with no problem. She also shows them and has done well. Sweet little dogs and naturally she adores them.
I have heard about the toilet training issue but having had/have dachshunds, I don't expect they could be any worse as far as stubborness in that area! My Pippin is supposed to be on the smaller side. At eight weeks(I think?) right now he is two pounds. But I like what I have read about them being big dogs in a little dogs body and being devoted to their owners.
