I did not get to see her parents, unfortunately. Because I drove so far out of state, the lady I bought her from met me outside of her city so I didn't have to drive even farther into Missouri. I did get to see photos of her littermates, though, and was told she looks a lot like her mother, except now her mother has a darker red racer stripe down her back. Also, her mother was short haired and her father was long haired.Did you get to see her mum and dad when you picked her up?
I could not believe how tiny she was when I picked her up. Of course I knew she'd be small, but I had no idea she'd be this small. When I did my puppy shopping, I bought the smallest two collars that target had but both were way too big for her. Yesterday I went out and found a collar that fits her nicely, thank goodness! Although, her name tag drags on the ground. Also, I forgot to configure how her doxie shape would affect the harness I bought her, which is too big around the neck, but too small around the chest. Go figure. -.- Luckily, I figure I have a few weeks before a harness is necessary and by then she'll have grown into the more breed-specific harness I got her.Omg she's so tiny! !! I wish I had Mouse when she was that small!
I must admit I chose my puppy because of her parents temperament, personality and confirmation. I was really lucky as I have several breeders of dachshunds quite close to me and visited a few before waiting for this litter. When it actually came to choosing which puppy there were only two girls in the litter and they were virtually identical. I went for the one that came to me first.You have to find a personality fit in a puppy same as an adult...
Ha ha ha... I drove 11 hours one way to pick up Mouse (Her foster Mom drove 4) and both Boo and Oliver flew to me.The one good thing about England is you never really have to go that far to get anywhere lol.
She only cries for a few minutes every time I leave her in the pen. She's been so good!She is very cute!! Has she cried at all? Or did she make herself at home?
I drove six hours from Chicago to pick up Alaska and then 11 hours home to Michigan, where we're staying until I move into my new place next weekend, but thankfully we're breaking that trip up into two days of three-hour driving.Ha ha ha... I drove 11 hours one way to pick up Mouse (Her foster Mom drove 4) and both Boo and Oliver flew to me.
Any new pics of Alaska now that she is almost 9 months old? I liked this puppy right from the beginning. She reminded me a lot of my girl Samantha.Have some more Alaska puppy for your pleasure
