OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDREN
PATIENT AND LOVING SUPERHEROES WITH SAUSAGE DOG EX[ERIENCE WHO WILL HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD FOR THEM
Auburn and Melyn are 5 year old bonded blonde long haired mini dachshunds. They are timid, sensitive, gentle and very sweet natured girls who are wary of the outside world but are making great progress. The girls have slightly different personalities with Auburn being the dominant one of the pair when they are together but also the worrier and is not as quick to trust as Melyn who is more laidback but sensitive.
Auburn and Melyn absolutely crave human attention and affection and can’t get enough. You have to make sure both hands are engaged in petting both dogs simultaneously because they will gently push each other out of the way in order to be the one getting the pets! They’ve met several different people including teens and although they might bark out of fear at first they soon come round if you give them time to realise there are more kind humans to tell them how pretty they are and rub their tummies. Both dogs are skittish and handshy and will drop flat to the floor with any sudden hand movements. They would struggle with younger kids both because of their tiny size and also the fact they need a calm environment.
They would thrive with kind, gentle and dog savvy older children in a calm home. We don’t recommend under 12s, they’ll probably be fine meeting gentle younger visiting children but might find it challenging to live with them.
They have not met cats but would advise not to be homed with any at this stage.
They’ve both been slowly getting used to living in a home. Neither are bothered by any household noises so far, even the vacuum cleaner is just an object of curiosity! House training is coming along slowly but surely, Auburn has been quicker so far to learn than Melyn but both are trying very hard. They don’t ask to go out but as long as they are let into the garden regularly, they do the majority of their toileting outside, they have a puppy pad overnight in their sleeping area in case they are caught short as they are still learning. They may regress in a new environment so will need patience and understanding.
They love going into the garden for exploring and pottering, Melyn is more of a potterer and Auburn loves exploring. They sleep together at night with no issues in their safe space which is a puppy pen in one of the quieter rooms downstairs, they will also go there for naps especially if a human is in the room with them and they have a bed each-sometimes they sleep in the same one or will go to separate ones when they want. They have been left alone together for a short time in their safe space, they may fuss for a short time especially Auburn who is the worrier who gives gentle whimpers almost under her breath when she is worried, but they soon settle and will sleep. This time could be built on a little when they are feeling secure in their forever home. Both dogs have good appetites. Neither dog has been destructive at all or tried to chew anything they shouldn’t. They haven’t shown any interest in toys yet, they do occasionally play with each other although auburn is much more playful than Melyn.
They haven’t been out as they are still settling to home life, they have never walked on a lead so they will need patience and training with this when they are ready. They have travelled in a car secured in a crate without problem. Both have been carried outside the front of my house to watch cars go past and they haven’t seemed scared by this.
Auburn and Melyn are looking for the kindest, most patient and loving superheroes who will have all the time in the world for these two little girls! They will be homed together which will mean twice the work but twice the love returned and all the adoration they can’t wait to give their new humans. They can go as the only dogs in the home or be homed with another gentle, calm and patient dog who will not expect too much from them at first and not mind sharing their humans with two girls who absolutely crave love and attention from their people. Gentle older children who are dog savvy and will understand the girls needs and initial limitations will be considered. Gentle visiting younger kids should be fine.
