Maggie's mom says: Maggie has been the light of our family for the last eight weeks -- a great addition to Abby, our 12-year-old collie. Our ten-year-old son saw a couple of miniature dachshunds last Halloween and, falling in love with them, wanted to know everything he could about the breed. We decided to pursue this and by Christmas we were totally hooked. That's when sweet Maggie came home. She has been snuggly, smart, and playful. In addition, she has been easy to train and very intelligent. She loves chewing and fetching her toys and has been very happy playing in the snow. Our children (and friends) have been very engaged with her and have been having fun entertaining her. Bottom line -- she is a joy!
