So Bug is almost 7 an some of the behaviors she does gets me wondering if its a normal dachshund behavior or just something she does.
Anyway, she does not bark, well if someone knocks at the door she does a half bark. She also does not play, I have tried many different things. I have tried different toys/treats, I started to play with one of her toys but she just gave me a look an went to her bed. She ignores other dogs, went to a dachshund picnic lots of other dogs there but when one would come up to greet her she turned away an ignored them. Not all is bad, she is extremely cuddly! She will get in your lap an place her head under your chine an push up, her way of giving hugs.
Are any of the above behaviors a "normal" dachshund behavior? Or are they a Bug special? Should add that she is the only dog in my house an has been an only dog for about 2-3 years now. I do know she lived in a crate for the first 6 months of her life. When we still lived at my parents she was around a basset hound from 6 months to about 4 years old. So she did have some other dog interaction for like 3 years.
I love Bug a lot an would never change a thing about her but I'm just wondering if its normal. I know each dog has their own little personalty but like I said my curiosity has gotten the best of me once again. An I'm kinda worried its possible something I might have or not have done for her.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my silly questions
Feel free to send me an email if you wanna talk more.
