Merry is a loving girl, but she does have the instinct to protect her boundaries. She is just being a Dachshund who we estimate to be about 1 yr old. The dachshund can be a loving companion, lapdog, and even a family dog. Despite their size, the dachshund tends to be quite protective and alert. We would recommend that Merry not go home with small kids in the house. Probably 7 or older. More pictures to come soon. Her adoption fee is $225 At this time ARF does not adopt out of state.
