Miniature Dachshund

I volunteered at a dog kennel shortly before I started high school, where I met a little red Miniature Dachshund named Georgia. Georgia was only at the kennel for a few days for boarding, but we formed a bond and she wouldn't let any other dog near me when she was around. From then on, I knew I wanted a Dachshund. Some people don't like them because they can be "yappers" - but really, any dog can be, and I think that's outweighed by their loyalty, their amazing personalities, and they bond they build with their owners. In the future, I plan to have my own Miniature Dachshund, a black and tan female, named Fancy.
