This is the latest addition to the family. Her name is Maisy and as you can see she is a Red, Short-haired, Dachshund.
Most of you know that we already have a Black/Tan Short-haired Dachshund named Charlie. For the past year, I have felt that we needed to get him a companion. Unfortunately, these dogs cost around $500-$600. We couldn’t afford that. So I started looking on Craigslist and lo and behold, someone posted that she was selling Maisy for $100 because she already had four cats and they weren’t too pleased with her. So I emailed her (about 3 times) and she called me and said I could come and look. I didn’t know Maisy was red nor short-haired before I talked to her. I just saw a purebred female Dachshund with papers for $100. I was willing to take whatever.
The fact that I wanted a female, red, short-haired with papers made this a perfect match for us. Maisy instantly fit into our family and as you can see from the pictures (CLICK HERE) she loves the kids.
She is a beautiful dog and has all the energy of a rambunctious puppy. She bugs Charlie to death by biting his tail, legs, and ears but he is starting to get used to her. I am sure they will be lifelong friends. Eventually, we hope to breed them once or twice.
For now though, Maisy is living the good life. All kinds of kids to play with, a big brother named Charlie to show her the ropes, and a family that will love her all the days of her life.
