Minnie & Teddy

About Minnie & Teddy

Minnie and Teddy share a very close bond and we would love to find them a home together. They are double the trouble and 100% double the love! These two do everything together and thoroughly enjoy human company. Sit down with them and it won’t be long before they’re climbing onto your knee looking for attention.

Teddy can be a little reserved in new surroundings and may initially bark when approached. However, he responds positively to gentle interaction and soon seeks out fuss and attention. He has had limited socialisation with other dogs but generally shows no negative reactions and is happy to have a sniff. Minnie is also a little unsure around other dogs and may bark when feeling nervous, although she is generally friendly. Both would benefit from continued socialisation in a calm, controlled environment to help build their confidence.

Together, Minnie and Teddy are playful, lively little characters who love running around and can be quite vocal, particularly when they hear noises or spot movement in the garden. Both will need further training, particularly with lead walking and house-training, including regular visits to the garden. Their new owner must have plenty of time and patience and be able to walk them separately during the initial stages of training.

Previous experience with Dachshunds would be beneficial, or an owner who has thoroughly researched the breed and understands their needs, including potential veterinary considerations. These two affectionate little characters have so much love to give and will certainly bring plenty of happiness to their new home.
