Here is her bio from her foster

She is a very nice girl, good tempered and non-reactive. 

She’s exuberant and VERY playful. She plays kind of aggressively, but not mean. I think she’s just used to being with her sister littermate, and they were well-matched in size and could just be wild dogs together and tussle. 

She is an absolute torpedo, barreling all over. But she will also torpedo herself right into your lap and want to sleep and snuggle. She’s a HUGE lovebug and wants attention, cuddles, to be on your lap or next to you. Super puppy energy. Big chewer.

She is working on potty outside. She’s improving a lot, but you have to pay attention to her because if she sneaks off on her own, you’ll find a present. 

Sleeps overnight in her crate with no issue. Will fuss to go out sometimes in the early hours, but would then love to get in your bed and zonk out with you for the rest of the sleep time. 

She needs a good yard and lots of activity. She would do well with focused behavior training. I don’t think she got a ton of socialization with humans or expectation not to jump and lunge at faces, etc. It seems like she and Rosie raised themselves a bit. Her ideal family would be someone home most of the time. Left on her own, she’d be bored and find trouble to get into. 

She is working on coming when called, but I would swear that nobody ever asked her to do anything in her life. She’s confused when we want her to come in or go out. She comes with us because she’s curious not because she figures we’re wanting something from her – so they should be prepared to have potty outside be a family activity they participate in.  

We did not see any escape attempts. Our fence is 5ft and wooden slat. She did stake out all the yard edges to see what’s what, but we never had her try to make a break for it when the front door opened, she never tried to get over the fence or find a way out. 

She would NOT be good with older/elderly dogs, especially older mini dachshunds. She is a GIANT puppy, and she doesn’t have any concept of not stepping on or not torpedo-roughhousing with all other dogs, and she’d be way too much and possibly injure older minis. 

She’d be perfect with a family who has a larger dog – standard doxie or not even a doxie. Ideally another dog young enough to be a playmate, but not so small that she’d steamroll them. She would really be best in a family with a dog – especially being used to her littermate her whole life. She’s friendly and ready to be a part of a family in a super puppy way. Will acclimate fast.

She’s good with kids, but again with little tiny ones she would absolutely need training and real focused guidance to not jump and love-bite. My 9yo she could knock over if she got going. 

Truly, she is BEAUTIFUL and the SWEETEST, just completely left for her whole life thus far to become a wild puppy. So if they’re prepared to continue working with her to remediate some of those wild puppy crazies, she’ll be the BEST companion dog. We all love her, she’s just a doll.
