We've adopted Gijsje from a shelter when he was about 4 months old. The little puppy was a bit shy but very friendly and we fell in love with him right away. So far he's been the most wonderful puppy one could wish for. He's sweet, playful and intelligent. His favorite thing in the whole world would be food and he will do anything for it. He also has a best pall, a kitten named Gucci who's about his age, they can play for hours, chasing each other or just wrestling over a toy. They are an odd but cute couple. Gijsje also loves to go for walks in the forest with us, his big sister, a great dane, and his other sister a lasaopsa. And like most dogs he loves to plunge into any pile of mud he can find. He's incredibly lovable and will lick your whole face when given a chance. We love him so much and I wouldnât know what to do without him anymore
This baby is to cute. I definitely love this picture of him. He looks as though he is saying, "Go Ahead and try to get this toy from me, I dare you!" Many happy years with your new baby. Tons of hugs and kisses.
What a gorgeous baby. Zillions of cuddles and biscuits. Well done for rescuing Gijsje. Enjoy your life together.
"I am ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille." What a little ham! He looks like he could be quite a character. You hit the jackpot when you found him in the shelter. Enjoy your menagerie!
OH MY GOODNESS TOOOO CUTE SUCH A HAM! so glad you got a good home many years of puppy love and happiness for all!!!!!
What a handsome little guy! These are really beautiful pictures. I could have picked every single one. I can see he is now living the life of a king, as he should be. How wonderful you brought him home from a shelter to an already loving filled environment. God Bless you all with love, health, and happiness.
What an adorable little face!!! I'm so glad he's found such a loving home. Lots of kisses and belly rubs!!!
What a cutie pie! Thank you for adopting from a shelter. Shelter dogs are very special, aren't they? This little guy is surely one of the cutest I've seen in a long time. It's hard to imagine how cute he is in person, because he's just impossibly cute in these pictures. Happy times together forever!
sooo photogenic at such a young age :D hard to imagine that these lil ones were once working dogs, Dachs = Badger, flushing them out of their burrows was their livelyhood once upon a time, not so with young Gijsje. ton of biscuits for him!
What a sweet, sweet dog. The collar is so adorable, and he looks every bit as regal as it makes him seem!
I am so partial to doxies, but this little guy is so regal. Many happy years to you all. Thank you for the rescue.
This is a puppy that KNOWS how really special and cute he is and how much he is loved. He deserves the love and you deserve many years of joy with him.
I agree with Qbear, he is a total camera ham, absolutely gorgeous, Doxies are the most wonderful breed of dog. They are so intelligent and faithful.
Awww...this picture is so sweet! When I leave for law school, if I can take my Shiloh (collie/husky or shepherd mix) with me, I'm going to get my mom a little long-haired doxie like she used to have. He looked just like this little guy!
"Go to bed? Why? I am not even sleepy. . . .zzzzzz!" Gijsje is so cute--he looks like he is about to go to sleep standing up! He is a beautiful dog!
Oh my so so cute. I had the same colour and breed when I was a little girl We called him casper. He is going to give you a lot of love.
He looks like a movie star on a photo shoot!! Shelter puppies are the best!! We need them as much as they need us-just don't let them know that!! Much happiness to your whole furry family!!
OHHHH! What will i do today??????He is soooo adorable, and sounds like he has a great home....have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
So sweet!!!! God bless you for rescuing him!!! Where is a picture of his sister the Lhasa Apso??? He is so cute!!!:)
I would have to go back to bed and snuggle with this one around. I would always be late. MAJOR puppy snuggles for this little guy.
Thanks for all the kind comments about Gijsje, he seemed really happy about it since he started licking my screen ^^ I gotta say getting this guy into our lives was one of the best things that could happen and being a shelter puppy he gives even double the love back for saving him. Lots of licks and hugs from Gijsje and some hugs from me Amanda aswell ;)
Gijsje is way cute! I love it when pups lay in positions that look like they couldn't possibly be comfortable. Amanda, how do you pronounce his name???
What an angel! My favorite breed, they are so loving. A million biscuits to Gijsje from my smooth haired dachshie, Ricky, and kisses from me.
Gijsje is absolutely gorgeous! I adore this pic and Gijsje. Please give her a kiss on the nose and a nice belly rub for me. Best of luck with your pack.
What a sweet puppy and such expressive eyes! Lots of biscuits and bellyrubs for Gijsje from Pam in Toronto
LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture!!!! Dachshunds are my favorite!!! I have 10 doxies!!!!! They are the best ever!!!
What a cutie! I used to have a doxie and they are a bundle of joy. Have many years with your beautiful friend.Lots of biscuits, too. Verna from San Jose
Oh man! Is there any better expression of unconditional, pure love than a puppy's face??? What a cute picture!
heavy head syndrome! i love it when my dogs rest their heads on anything that happens to be around them, so adorable!
Gijsje is a dutch name (abbreviation of Gijs) I will use some english words to discribe the sounds. We have a completly different G. But it comes close to Geii - sjuh (sjuh like duh)
wanted to use words, but couldn't find english words that fitted the sounds... sorry :( I hope my comment helps.
Haha thanks for trying to explain how it sounds it's really hard for english people to say, my english friend just calls him Gigi for that reason ^^ Yet again thanks for teh nice words and I gave him a load of kisses for you guys just now and a big belly rub. Hugs
He is adorable... so wonderful you adopted him! I only wish I could see a picture of him with his kitty playmate! :) Many happy years with this cutie!
Oh, he is precious! Doxies are the best! Soooo loving! I'm sure he gives the best kisses, and why are they always in love with cats? My cat loves my doxle (dachshund/beagle), but hates every other dog! I love you Gijsje!
What a precious boy! I only wish there was a picture of him and his best pal Gucci included. I would love to see them together!
Gijsje looks like an intentional pose in this picture. He is gorgeous, and I love the coloring. Hugs, kisses and a box of biscuits from Kansas USA.
"Oh, I wish, I wish all babies could have as good a home as me and my siblings do!) What a lucky (and handsome) pup I am!!! Congrats on this beauty.
What a cutie........many years of happiness with Gijsje. Love his coloring.....he looks soooo sweet. Mega belly rubs & 11++++++++++++++++ biscuits for this cute litte guy.
You are an adorable Puppy. Beautiful is the word. Here's to you and Gucci, your Kitty friend. Those gorgeous eyes can get you the "MOON." You get all the biscuits you want! :) Elizabeht & Miss Katie (I am a Dane)
Wow, what a beauty! Gijsje is such an adorable and handsome puppy. I love his dark soulful eyes, how could you resist him? Please give him lots of kisses and cuddles. 11+++ biscuits at least! xxx
OMG...........she is really a HE....He is such a handsome little man, sorry! Tons of hugs, kisses, and biscuits to your special guy!
Oh, my goodness. She surely must be queen of the house, I'm sure! Enjoy your little one. I'm sure she lets you know her opinions. She's adorable. GOD bless your family.
