A Doxie is a good choice for apartment dwellers and people who do not have a backyard. They are good for urban dwellers because of their small size and ease of care. And of course they love the wide open spaces if you happen to live out in the country.

So what else could you ask for in a pet? Be Dachshund Savvy and choose a Doxie for your next pet. You will not regret your decision.
