Hello, I am in Alabama and we just brought home our first Dachshund puppy last night. He is a long haired tweenie, black and tan. We are in love. We also have a Pom-Chi who isn't too sure about the little guy, but they are getting along so far. Our Doxie boy is named Bama. We haven't registered him yet - still pondering names. Our Pom-Chi is Mo. I never had a dog growing up and I have loved being a dog owner. I'm a dog person now.
