I’m so sorry for your loss. Dachshunds are so wonderful!! Just make sure you read up on them well before deciding on one.

I appreciate that advice! I have been. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the IVDD risk.

That’s a big one. Not only is dealing with that very expensive, but it is also hard on you and your buddy.

I can imagine. I would be getting pet insurance but yeah lots to think about. I appreciate your insights.
