Long Haired Miniature Dachshund

Nikki is a delight. She is black and tan and has a very expressive face. My dad is in a nursing home and he delights in her visits. She will sit on his lap for an hour and graciously accept all compilments from the staff and visitors. She is shy with people until she gets to know them. She is very obedient and the only dog that my husband really likes. She had his twisted around her paw right away.

That is so nice that you still take his baby to visit him in the home, they get so lonley. Some homes have resident pets, cats that circulate and comfort the older people. YOur dad and his dog must share a strong bond of love, Im sure it brightens his day to see is little girl, and his baby come to visit him. I guess I'm mushey :0) Rosemary

Sharon Hi! Aren't they adorable! I have a minture dashund long hair, his name is Jake, he's 6 yrs old, color dapple which is black, tan, & silver. I have had him ever since he was a pup & I would not trade him for anything, he is the love of my life, possive, loving, bold, strong will &thinks he's the biggest, baddest dog regardless of his size & yes he has wrapped me around his paw & then some. Enjoy your little one for they are very precious. From one dashund lover to another! Happy tails to you & yours.

Hi Karen, Nikki will be 3 years old next month. I got her as a very young puppy and the first night I put her in her training cage and she didn't make a sound until the next morning. I knew I had hit the jackpot. At night I tell her "Last trip out." and let her into our fenced in back yard where she does her duty and then I say " Beddy bye time." and she goes into he training cage for the night. Nikki is the first long haired I have had. I had 1 standard and 2 mini shorthaired and I find Nikki's personality to be totally different. She is my shadow and is content as long as I am in sight. She loves to get on the sofa and wiggle herself between my husband and me.
